Blacktail Deer Plateau i might fly priscilla out just for banter

Nieve didn't know where Kaistleoki was—that pack having relocated away at roughly the same time Rusalka arrived—but for Bhediya to simply stumble upon them, it must be close by. The girl made a mental note to go scouting later and try to locate them, more to sate her curiosity and concern than out of real interest. In response she only nodded as if to say "go on".

Even for Nieve, who was kinder than most of her ilk, the concept of visiting other packs to say hi was an alien one. Bhediya held herself in a way that might've offended some wolves on the borders of their pack—proper submission was a given when you stood so close to another pack's territory, was it not—but Nieve was either too confident in their claim or too mild-mannered to care. She wasn't being outright aggressive or posturing, which worked for her.
