Redhawk Caldera we're thieves in a world that dont want us no more

Maia was overstimulated and quickly overwhelmed. Chickadee ran behind and grouped with her sister, but she didn't immediately recognize the man who came up alongside her. She turned her growl towards him too, shrinking back and tensing even further, until Teya joined the scene.

The first stranger seemed apologetic and the second she slowly realized was a packmate. Maia's growl died slightly but she didn't relax and didn't speak. She would be on edge until she no longer felt outnumbered and pressed, and all she wanted to do was snatch up her children and bolt back towards home. Unfortunately she couldn't carry both and she didn't want to scare them further. They were going to get an earful when she got them home. Her heart hammered in her chest and she hoped, with every bit of her, that no fight broke out.
