She was settled against a tree as she waited this time. Told to wait here, for Ultyr to hunt and track down their quarry. He had fed her this morning already so she should be okay to be left for the rest of the day. Lailah was more than happy to wait here, near a border that should conceal her scent enough and with plenty of options to run if she needed. Ultyr had been very clear with his instructions and she didn't want to disappoint him.

Her stomach hadn't grown from children yet but it was distended from how much he made her eat. She was lightly dozing here for now, covered in a pelt he had told her to use to try to help hide her. The goat hide was a lot better camouflage for her then her own pelt was, so she was thankful for that. She had collected some sticks for a small fire that she hadn't lit yet though just in case it took longer than Ultyr intended. She also knew where there was a pile of bodies if she needed to, not that she wanted to but if worse came to worse, she would partake in the rotting corpses on the pack border on the other side of the forest.

"Things I Hear"

The trees here grew twisted and tall, their limbs reaching for the sky as if they could touch it and hold it higher. Strange trees he had noticed when he entered this place, and he was content to avoid brushing too close to them and leaving his scent or tufts of pale fur there. Nothing to suggest he had come this way. It was well past morning, and the rabbit he had found had been more filling than the simple berries from last night, but there was still a gnawing hunger in his stomach. That hunger was what had lured him here instead of following his original path, the smell of old kill and bodies. It was something he hadn't stooped to in a while, but beggars couldn't be choosers when the only other option was starving.

Sugusik was almost at the bodies when another smell caught his attention, a goat. He might have been small in stature but a goat could be taken down if he was smart enough. As he moved closer and the scent became stronger, he slowly lowered himself into a crouch. There was some small wonder as to whether the ground cover would help conceal him before he caught sight of the laying creature. Muscles wound tight like a spring, and all that tension finally released as he leaped forward towards the hide. As realization hit him like a wall, he scrambled to a halt with kicked-up leaves, dirt, and mud. It was just that, a hide, with another small wolf underneath it.

"Hullo? Are you hiding from something or someone?"

He asked in a soft tone, slowly creeping closer to try and peer at them in a better light. He still kept some distance between himself and the hidden stranger, worrying every present about being attacked.

She was close to napping when the sound of another caught her attention. A blink or two had her eyes opening and a silent yawn from her mouth was her reply until the noise of scrambling had her springing up and ready to dart away, with the pelt falling from her form. Eye settling on the pale creature. She at first had thought Ultyr was returning early. But the size of the other caught her and told her that this was in fact not Ultyr. Her tail curled under her as a reflex, eye falling to the ground before the pale one. Smelled female, and looked like they were confident enough.

A question was asked and Lailah wasn't even sure if she should answer. "Hullo? Are you hiding from something or someone?" The question was odd. Didn't she look like someone just camping? A shake of her head was her answer to the female. She'd seen this one before, when the worms fell from the wolf's eyes. But she definitely wasn't hiding from Ultyr. That would be silly of her, he fed her, kept her safe, and was the father of the children growing inside her, she would be stupid to run from him. She pressed herself back into the tree away from the pale one before her though. If she attacked then Lailah would have only two options, submit and try to keep herself here until Ultyr could save her or run towards where Ultyr had went.
