Stavanger Bay Taking the time for me

Thistle asked why Claire was gun shy with the pack. She's shy in general, and I think she finds it hard to open up to new wolves... She and her Mom were loners- I don't know if they were ever part of a pack at all- and her Mom had recently died when we first met. I don't think she's ever learned how to be a member of a pack of wolves. And, from the few words she spoke of the Idle, I don't think her experience there was positive enough, he explained. He did what he could with Claire, but eventually, she would need to figure out how best to socialize with her pack mates on her own.

Thistle explained the pups were doing good, although the little girl was defensive against change. Hmm, he replied, thinking. Well, I'm sure she'll see how much more fun it is how here than it is in the den. Way more stuff to do out here, he commented.
