"Thank you." Heph received the touch with a shaky and small smile. She might have wished to appear more level-headed but she was glad of the moments of sympathy. It was important, in a way that was difficult for her to grasp, that Samani and Moontide's noting of her absence, was not merely some inconsequential blip.

At the question of Hljodrfell she paused, gathering her thoughts. She had met now Solveig and her daughter Thyra and Gryfalcon as well and all individually had made a positive impression upon her. While Dreven and Atka no longer resided there she had known them as well. But the pack as a whole she felt less confident about making an assessment. "They seem fair and friendly, all of my meetings with their number have gone well. Their leader Solveig is new after their previous went missing. Solveig is, I think, more concerned about safeguarding and strengthening the pack's borders and hunting, their previous leader led them spiritually. I'm not sure what they will be like now, but they hope to grow their numbers. I met one of their pack on a recruitment mission." It was not overly odd although she had not heard of many other packs doing similar things - wolves who wished to join or met members of the pack by happenstance might call at their borders or be recruited, but to purposefully go out and seek to bolster numbers was different.
