Duskfire Glacier lions and tigers and bears

This boy was hopeless. Danica would have laughed but she did have a bit of tact where children were concerned... a bit. "Shy one, aren't you?" she asked, smiling in an amused but friendly manner. "I'm not gonna eat you, ya know. Gotta wait until you're a bit bigger to do that." She left him to discover whether she was joking or not.

She wondered how well the pups were adjusting to their knew home and how much they even remembered of the Creek. She was... content here. It was beautiful enough, and she could pass the days without worrying about running into an unagreeable situation (not that she would have minded having a good yell at her former Alphaess). Sleep was still somewhat hard to come by, though. She was used to the sound of the creek as background music to her rest. Now she had silence in that regard.

While her speech might have been a bit lacking in understanding, she did hunker down, not wanting to alarm the boy any more than she already had. Besides, if he moved on, it was about time for a nap anyway.
