Sun Mote Copse There's a song in my heart now

Wildfire's heart soared when nearly every one of her new pack mates arrived shortly thereafter. Eljay came first, greeting her by her nickname, which the Sovereign didn't mind in the least. She gave him a smile, which she turned on the sisters, Wraen and Maia, as they materialized. She noted the latter's yawn with a quiet chortle, then jumped down from her perch to better greet Kiwi, who appeared at the same time as Colt. She returned her daughter's kiss and offered Colt a nod. Before she could answer Kiwi's question (and ask if she'd seen @Sequoia or @Corinna), she heard a familiar voice and looked over her girl's head to see Finbar speaking to someone she didn't know.

Swiftly, Wildfire loped over to intercept the stranger in their midst. Here was her opportunity to set an example of how she would like perceived trespassers to be treated. Finbar had already addressed him kindly, which was good. By the time she closed the gap, she realized she did know this wolf. She stopped and stared at him for a beat, scrambling to remember his name. "Tu—" she began, faltering for a second before an aha! look came over her face. "Tulimaq? What are you doing here?" Her tone was cordial and guarded in equal measure.

Since this is a group thread, I'll post every few days. Don't worry about order, just try to post once per "round." :)
