Lost Creek Hollow strawberry alarm clock

Actually, maybe it would have been better if Terance had answered. This woman didn't look friendly at all, though Lily supposed there was an unfamiliar wolf on her doorstep. Still, it wasn't as if she'd came in teeth bared. . .

Hallo, she said cheerfully, refusing to be brought down by any bad vibes. She grinned. I don't believe we've met. I'm Lily, from Elysium, the pack in the willow forest. Feeling as if this guardian didn't like wasting time, she cut to the chase. We're, er, having a party over there for the winter solstice. Yule.

She wagged her tail, beaming. I wanted to extend an invitation to your wolves. It'll be fun--dancing, games, food, stargazing. . . Could you pass along the message, in case anyone is interested? I think it would be a fun way to get the packs in the valley acquainted, and perhaps allied.

Well, that was her best sales pitch. She would just have to sit tight and see how the woman took it.
