Leto's mood was sour already from her da being gone so long when her mom had gathered her and her sisters and dragged them off up north. At first it had been a novelty, an adventure and everything was new but they had to walk f o r e v e r and it was so awful and cold, and the swaggering almost-six-month-old hoodlum's mood grew more and more irritable.
But then finally she could see Da's colorful form amid a veritable sea of plain boring wolves - ok it was only like three and one was Steel but she still scowled at them and stuck her tongue out as her mom marched them up to Da and made them sit, Leto stalking along grumpily the whole way, and then she turned a pouting scowl at her mom too. Why'd they have to come all the way up here anyway? Who were all these wolves that were showing up? Other than her family they were all drab as molting crows, but they all seemed to be excited about something to do with her da.
Da noticed them, finally, but didn't say anything just smiled and tried to ruffle their fur. "DA," she complained loudly, wrinkling her nose. "Quit mussin up me fur! I gotta repitation and ya gonna ruin it!" She puffed up her chest quite fierce, but he'd started talking to everyone about packs or whatever and the whole lot was really boring and hard to follow. Something about safety (boring) and a corbation (what was that?) and a buncha other boring floof words that didn't make no sense and sounded no fun.
Ok ok so he could talk pretty and make everyone else's heads all dreamy but Da hadn't actually explained anything had he? Everyone else seemed to be nodding along and agreeing but to what? "Yeah yeah yeah, that's all great and stuff, but wot's a pack?" she demanded. It was THE MOST IMPORTANT question and no one else had even asked it!
