@Elwood

While Somnia did spend a good amount of time in her den the past couple days, she still made an attempt to get outside a couple times of day. While a large part of her wanted nothing more than to do nothing and stay in the den while her thoughts pushed her towards depression, there was a part of her that resisted that. That resistance was based solely on how others would act towards her, excluding Elwood.

What if Peregrine or Fox tried to kick her out for doing nothing? While the rational part of Somnia argued feebly that they wouldn't do that without trying to see if there was a reason, it was still a possibility. Even if they did question her, she would have to tell them what had happened. It was bad enough that she had told Elwood - she did appreciate his presence though when he checked in on her - but having the rest of the pack know about it?

While Somnia didn't exactly get much of anything done when she took her few walks outside, it at least made it seem as if she were doing something. If anyone questioned about what she had been up to, she could at least claim that she had been trying - and failing - to hunt recently until she got back on her feet completely.

So on these walks, she keep her scent of pack grounds recent, but avoid any other pack-mate's recent scent except for Elwood. The only useful thing the walks actually did was introduce her to the scent of a new pack-mate. While the scent was feminine, it still upset Somnia a bit.
