Maia could tell there was something between the two of them and that it was a hard parting. That only made her more curious about everything, but she clamped down on the questions. Clearly, for some reason, this woman - Tavina? - had to go back and smooth things over before Nala could join her.

It's no trouble. Maia insisted. Then she turned aside. I'll be right over there, and can show you around when you're ready. She smiled, then turned and gave them some privacy so they could say their farewells.

How long would she be here for? It didn't matter, she'd be family either way for as long as she stayed, but the more Maia heard about this Ramses wolf the more she was glad for their own pack. Surely they'd never see an enemy in someone like this, who'd done nothing but join another group they looked at unkindly! They'd had tensions with Moonspear, after all, and still had friendships with Bronco and with Towhee.

She hoped again, fervently, that Lilitu was happy. She would be sure to ask Nala all about her as soon as she was settled in.
