Stone Circle turn your head towards the storm that's surely coming along

Ever since the odd encounter with the two foreign wolves and a little white cub in the meadow, Nunataq had been more attentive to her brother Marten. Fear was not something that had ever been a problem to her (aside that one time, when Lucas had fallen onto her), but she began to notice traces of it in others. She did not always understand, why was it so, but this made her feel as if it was her job to take the responsibility in these cases. Not only she was the first to go and investigate, if there was something supposedly scary in the vicinity, it was also obvious that, whenever Xan visited she followed his every movement and tried to mimic it as well. And often she would watch him depart for the borders with longing in her eyes. There was a job out there that she did not yet have a name for, but her heart yearned for it all the same.

So today, when all of the family set out for a little journey, not only Nunataq was unusually obedient, but it was evident that she tried very hard to act like grown ups did. With alert eyes and ears perked up she would scan the area, she would make sure that their numbers were the same and that no one had strayed away. And, when they finally stopped, she broke away from the group to slink after Xan, when he went over to meet the unknown wolf. She was not afraid of the scarred beast that was towering over her small frame, but it was evident that her posture lacked the same confidence and calmness of the adults. She was a kid feeling that something important was going on, wanting to be part of it and yet not being entirely sure how. And when the stress of the situation she did not yet know, how to handle properly, she searched for Indra with her gaze, to get the reassurance. That she was doing the right thing. That all was well.
