Ooc:: Set roughly the day after Ritselli joins or so.

So maybe living in Fiori wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be. Amalia was a nice lady. She looked pretty and smelled pretty, and gave her a yummy meal. The girl was feeling happy, and already her adventurous nature was getting the better of her. She wanted to know more about this pack, about the wolves that lived there. Sure she missed her daddy, mommy, and sisters. She had cried last night for a while, burying her head into Amalia's fur as she told her she wanted them to be there with her. But they weren't there. They weren't there right now. But that was alright. Someday she'd see them again. Daddy promised. So the girl would pad along, her tail wagging behind her with nose to the ground. So many new sites and smells... this place was different from her home in the North. It was warmer too, and she enjoyed that. A squeal of delight would leave her as she suddenly bound forward, trying to land on some bug that had caught her eye. The little cricket squirmed, but it was no match for her! Ha! Victory! Ritselli would lift the little critter up in her mouth, grinning from ear to ear. She would start to skip along, happy as a clam in a basket or something. "Talk" "You" Think

Slowly and with focus Birna was settling into the pack routine. She'd been wandering in search of the remnants of her family for so long that returning to the duties and routines of pack life was a chore in and of itself. The bear woman was finishing her patrol and looking to take a much needed break as she strode back to the den site. However, busy with her new duties she hadn't spent as much time with her brother as she was hoping for. Perhaps the two of them could go hunting again and talk about the future. It was an unexpected development to decide to settle down for awhile but her ears were always open for any news of the Xanilovs. Movement caught her attention as she noticed a young pup prancing along. Head titled to the side curiosly. She didn't recognize this particular pup. "Good Afternoon, are you out hunting?" "Speech"

Arian had never been close to her family really, her mother maybe, but Amalia she had only known as a small pup. So ultimately she was unsure about everything. Though when she heard of the small pup that amalia took in yesterday, her heart sunk a little. Not because she was unhappy it happened, it meant this pup had either lost their family or some other sad reason. Sadness, it was like a revolving door around the newly healed girl. With chronic depression, sometimes it was hard to even get up in the mornings, and scared to even make her own decisions. As she trudged along, she shivered at the sight of a larger female. Anyone that was larger than her, had struck a chord of fear inside of the rather leathe female. It wasn't their fault, it was the trauma. She sighed, and would trek forward despite her slight shivering. "Wonderful morning, hello little one, are you the Ritselli I've heard about. My name is Arian I am Amalia's sister." she would greet the taller girl and then turn towards the pup which made her feel slightly more comfortable. "Talk" "You" Think

Woooah! Ritselli would almost drop her cricket when she laid eyes on the large female walking up to her. She was so big! The pup would awkward snatch the bug back up before carefully setting it down at her paws. She didn’t want to ruin it! “Yessum! I certainly am ma’am!” There was another one who would arrive as she said the words, and the girl would look at the smaller girl with wonder. She had browns on her, closer to her mama’s colors. She would grin, tail wagging back and forth happily. “Mhmm! My name is Ritselli! Miss Amalia is really really nice! I like her.” Her gaze would dart between the two females. “You guys should say your names! It’s no fun if you know my name but I don’t know yours too!” Her gaze would flick to Birna again. “Want me to catch you one too?” She would ask as well, referring to the cricket. "Talk" "You" Think

Birna smiled softly as she watched the pup stare up at her in awe before answering with such spirit.  If only she and her brother had been born in happier times.  It lit a soft fire burning in her breast, a will to protect this new pack.  Truth be told it had been painful to leave Ebony and return back to Fiori after the siege but at the same time it also felt right.  The other Xanilovs would always be dear to her but there was a disconnect there.  Time and distance creating a gap that she did not know how to deal with, and besides she had sworn her loyalty to Epiphron and she did not easily break her word.  Fiori would be a surrogate family to her and hopefully their alliance with Ebony would continue to blossom. "Well, it seems you are doing well!  That is a fine catch for one so young." Birna turned and gracefully dipped her head in greeting to her fellow pack mate, a some what timid woman but Birna took no offense.  She was fairly used to off-putting others a bit with her size. She introduce herself as Arian, sister to Amalia.  So many families and names to learn!  The pup was Ritselli asked her name and Birna readily gave it. "A pleasure to meet you both.  I am Birna.  Sister to Björn, and yes little Ritselli, I would like it very much if you caught me one.  Should I hold onto that one while you go catch another?"
