Moonspear in the land of not quite day

Hydra would discuss it with Lyra. Her sister was not the most patient of wolves, but she felt that having an apprentice would only sharpen her skillset. Hydra looked to Jarilo as he mentioned his own skills, which were not to be ignored; she knew he could speak for himself, and a warm look flashed in her eyes as he spoke of them. He was an ecologist of sorts, and knew of plants and their seasons and then some. 

As Katya spoke of her willingness to learn, Hydra did not miss the shift in her. Sharp as her eye was, Hydra did not miss much... including the sort of character this wolf must have to be willing to learn, despite any anxiety on the matter. Hydra did not desire her wolves to seek out danger though, only to know how to handle it when it came... which it ever seemed to. These days, there always seemed to be something. Nodding her approval to her response, regardless of the emotion that came with it, Hydra kept quiet as her brother asked his own question... also of interest to the matriarch, though she had not asked. 

The woman had a name: Katya. And as she went on, Hydra felt pride well in her own chest as she heard how the she-wolf had seen it: ...high and imposing to all who approach it... Hydra could listen to any speak of her domain for days if they had the ability to. Her parents had chosen well where they would settle; Moonspear, she felt, was the crown jewel within the Wilds. Some debated it was rivaled by its brother, the Sunspire—but Hydra, in her heart, felt that none could contest the grandeur of Moonspear. 

It will take some getting used to, if you are from the flatlands, though I do not doubt you will become accustomed to mountain life with time. Welcome to Moonspear, Katya, she drawled, having decided to accept her among them with a sweep of her tail. Descending some so she could exchange scents with the once-loner so all would know she was of Moonspear now (should Katya not withdraw), Hydra glanced toward her brother and requested, Will you show her to the rendezvous, and introduce the children there to her? She herself intended on continuing her patrol, where she was sure she would find Lyra along the way.
