It's about time!

Her eyes adjusted as she heard the sound of paws against the hard earth, and she knew where to look. She would find the form of the older pup on his paws surveying her. She blinked, and took him in herself for a moment. Of course that barely lasted a few seconds before a bright grin overtook her expression. "Hello!" She said companionably as she strolled further into the cave and towards him. She was almost a month old now but she was still a tiny creature with a huge amount of growing set before her. It was a wonder someone so tiny and bright eyed could find the sheer amount of trouble she stumbled into on a daily bases.

"You don't look sick" she complained, stopping a few feet away from him where she boldly studied him, tilting her head this way and that in her efforts. "I'm Ray. I'm a princess here" she explained, the bold lie holding a few rays of truth. After all, Ren the alpha next door had been called a prince as the title of the child of the alpha (before he had become alpha himself) and he had called her a princess. It didn't matter to her if that wasn't the official Donostrea title and it certainly didn't matter if her place her held no authority whatsoever. She had learned, from very early on, that if you could act the part it was believed. Ray could act the very image of a haughty and spoiled princess with no effort at all...

She took another step forward, craning her head upwards at the taller, 6 times older, wolf. "And your my next best friend. Mortar." She explained, it was a statement and nothing close to a question. Her every tone said 'this is how it is now. Deal with it' she turned back towards the den exit. "Come on, I've got to show you all the interesting parts of Donostrea" she said, keeping her voice unhurried. But she did need to speed this along quickly, the longer she was here the easier it would be to get caught, once they where out there it would be much harder to catch them...
