The autumn winds sure were blowing in at a harsh rate. The sound of the howling force of nature made her worry for her winged companion. Shiva flew just above Hailey's head, the pure white owl's feather ruffled themselves within the wind. As she glided across the currents - it was fairly easy to keep herself from having to flap. Considering the overdraft was nice, but her balance was a little drafted. Across the White wolf's travels, she'd come to know her companion. Yet now she was dreaded with guilt. She'd left Lirim without as much of a word. She didn't know what was going on here, she was also just glad it was still around. Her ears twitched, there was no excuse to the fling that she had created here. Wisked away by a male's kind words. Hailey had left her whelps where ever he had been. She'd concealed such a thing - while it could be considered abandonedment. She knew that the feeling had been mutual among the male. Who now was a single father. She ignored the thought, making her paws press into the earth. Stopping at the edge of the borders, was she even welcome. The hints of Lirim's scent was still upon her coat. As Shiva hovered above her - the owl simply kept a watchful eye. Hailey didn't have much fear though, as she raised her head in a howl she called for lirim's leader. After all, the healer's heart always had called here. Ever since the day she'd been accepted here. She felt like she owed something to them. "Talk"

Frost was finishing up his morning rounds at the pack borders. It was stewing that it would be time to have another meeting or another pack hunt or something. It had been way to quiet and the pup training he tried to hold had been a failure. He was trying to come up with something to stir some activity within the pack so that he didn't feel like he was the only one wondering around. Maybe he should try and hold one of the events his family used to hold for the clan? Or something similar to it maybe? The howl at the borders made him pull from his thoughts, swinging his head and looking in that direction. The call was for a leader and he knew he must answer. He or Rory could answer these calls and if the younger male got there before him he would gratefully let him take over. Twisting his form around she changed his course and headed straight towards where the call had come from. Long legs carried him swiftly over the earth heading towards the source of the call to see what the leader was being summoned for. It didn't take him long before the white women came into view. Though the male had to do a double take. The green eyes were familiar to him and his tail began to wag in relief. Hailey had disappeared a while ago, but this was no doubt Hailey in front of him. "Hailey!" he called out in a friendly greeting as he closed the distance to leaving five feet apart. "Talk" | 'Think'

It didn't take long for a mildly familiar face to appear. Hailey smiled as Shiva flew down, the large owl sitting upon the wolf's shoulders. Her yellow eyes keeping a watchful eye out as she had been for the past few months. "Frostbite! It's been a little while." Hailey wasn't one to carry much worry at times. She was usually a very chipper and hyperactive wolf, so a wag in her tail wasn't all that odd as she tried to contain herself. Though embarassment was clear on her face when she tried to clear her throat. "I've come to come back to Lirim. I'd rather not discuss why I was gone - though I promise it won't happen again. I learned a lot about herbs while I was out!" She also learned a lot about pups... so there was that. "I know that I couldn't just waltz in so that's why I called, it's fine if I'm turned away." She pulled her ears back. She knew how these things went. Not everything was just peaches and cream for everyone. Hailey wasn't aware of ardent's politics and she had a feeling there was a lot to catch up on. Shiva ruffled her feathers though staring over at Frostbite. "H.. has anyone seen Faite in a while?" Hailey did feel obligated to ask. Faite was the reason she had joined in the first place, while Rory had taken over and Hailey was loyal to Lirim themselves it still was a little hopeful to see if her friend was around. If not, Hailey supposed it was time to look for more wolves to speak to. "Talk"

He smiled at her words, it had been a while indeed. He was glad to see her alive and well, she seemed to be in decent shape for being gone so long. Of course that pretty bird of hers had to have been a big help in getting food. His eyes looked to the pretty owl for a few minutes. He always thought having companions was so interesting especially her older sister with her Raven. His attention turned back to Hailey as she continued on, stating she wanted to rejoin. They were edging closer and close to their maximum for the pack. She had learned more about herbs and it made him think. He didn't see a problem in having her come back. They did have Zuriel and her daughter already for healers, but he knew you could never have to many, they were in more desperate need of hunters then healers. He looked to her with a soft gaze before nodding. "That's not a problem, but I have one condition," he said. "I know your talent is healing and as far as I know we have two nicely stocked den full of herbs, so I'm asking you that when you don't have healing duties to do if you could. pitch in with hunting. We are in dire need of hunters to stock up for the upcoming winter." he said. "Talk" | 'Think'

Hailey felt a little surprised, when she joined Lirim they had been low on healers. She felt sort of proud that sort of a thing happened but also... replaced. She smiled, the feeling soon faded after all another one of her passions was Hunting. If the pack needed to eat she was swiftly able to do so. No doubt Shiva would get a kick out of it as well, the owl enjoyed teasing Hailey on her hunting skills and the wolf wouldn't have gotten better if it wasn't for her. "I'd be happy to be placed as a hunter officially if you'd like. Healing may be my passion but I also have Hunting on my mind. I enjoy tracking and if it helps the pack I'd be more than happy." Hailey flicked her ears. She was open minded, while she knew it would be something out of her comfort zone she knew that staying in it wouldn't get her anywhere. After all, she could already feel Shiva holding back a chuckle. "Talk"

Frostbite smiled as she agreed to it, having no problem being a hunter for the time being. It was great news and hopefully just be a vary temporary rank. With Rin being down and out Frost needed help bringing game in. The help would be great and give him a bit of a break. His tail wagged lightly and he nodded to her. "Thank you and hopefully it will be a temporary thing and you can still study and heal to your hearts desire," he said. "As you can tell there has been a few changes since you were here. Faite has stepped down leaving her Son Rory as the Kalin and I'm his chosen Kaliq." There hadn't been to many changes other then the addition of the new ranks. Lots of new faces which would be hard to explain everyone to her, but he would gladly point them out to her. "I don't believe your old den had been reclaimed if you would like it again, if not there is still plenty of room for a new one," he said with another smile. "Talk" | 'Think'
