Emberwood No one's here? Good.

Laika nodded, words unable to come to her mouth. She didn't know what to say. She stayed positive, however because she knew Saena was a good leader. 

"Well, hopefully things have changed for the bette-" she paused mid-word. Something was within the forest a few yards away away. It was small, but not small enough. She flicked her tail for Spring to follow her, and slunk forward with a hunter's swiftness, maneuvering her way quickly through the thick foliage. 

It was a smell she didn't recognize. It could be a new Phoenix Maplewood wolf, for she knew that some new wolves were recently accepted. As she reached the point she could see the wolf, her tail stilled in focus. Now that she was closer, she could detect the faint smell of the Maplewood. So she was a maplewood wolf? She still had to be careful, for she wasn't sure. 

She stepped out of cover, revealing herself to the other. She did not hold a threatening stance, nor a dominant one. There was no need for this, yet. "Hello." She spoke, tail tip twitching. She glanced at Spring and then looked back at the other wolf.
