Bazi wasn't alone for long. She recognized the dark female walking through the forest with her marred snout in the air as the rangy girl that had strayed close to Swiftcurrent when Fox was still Alpha. The Creek leader paused, waiting to be seen, and responded with a curt nod when Erika greeted her in that peculiar, other-worldy accent of hers. She noted the other woman's gently sagging belly, and squinted with interest at the long, dark hairs that shielded her modesty. "You had pups," Bazi said softly, tail wagging between her hocks. Right now, she didn't know or care which pack the woman belonged to - her interest was in the children. The Creek had lost theirs, and Bazi missed them terribly.

Before she could ask how old they were, a second, male wolf appeared. Bazi bristled instinctively and took a swift step back, looking between Erika and the newest arrival. "Friend of yours?" she asked the other female.
