Swiftcurrent Creek that autumn chill · pack meeting [r1 ends 04/10]

Oh boy, her first official pack meeting...and she was late!

The call was unexpected, and of course she was all the way on the other side of the Creek. As quick as her legs could peddle, the girl raced to where the summons had sounded from but by the time she arrived, already most of the pack had gathered. She had even been beaten by the two mothers who had the job of herding their respective children – all eight of them, if she was counting correctly with eyes that widened in horror. Four each‽‽ How exhausting.

Pukei pulled what she hoped was an amusing face at the young ones she didn't know the names of, making a note to introduce herself to the newest mother later, before swinging her gaze to look to Akavir. "Where you been, mister?" she announced gleefully, completely oblivious to the man's turmoil. "I thought you fell into the river or something!" Then they'd have to pass leadership onto the next tall, dark and handsome, she thought, glancing over to Arric with a grin.

She took her place then nearby Arlette and her children, if only because she looked like she might need some help wrangling them if they got too antsy during the meeting.
