It was so hard for her to believe that Diana and Jayne were already getting old enough to not need constant supervision. It felt like she had blinked and suddenly they had grown up. They were still very young of course, still pups by all means, but it still made her sad in the best way. She frowned as she lounged in one of the dry places between the many hot springs, catching brighter glimpses through the steam now and then as the breeze blew it out of the way. All she could hope for was for their daughters to to stick closer to home than her sons had... and perhaps for them to stay in a brighter state of mind than her sons.
She sighed and lifted her head from her paws, slowly pulling herself from her stomach to her haunches. She could see more clearly now that her head was over the thickest of the steam and the first thing she saw was a young man taller than herself moving through the hot springs. He seemed to be coming from the border and she watched him curiously. If she remembered correctly he was one of Leo's nephews... The pack had exploded in numbers recently and she wasn't sure if she had been properly introduced to any of them just yet. Well, she didn't figure she'd ever learn who was who if she didn't make an effort to do so. She padded closer till she was close enough to dip her head in greeting, her tail waving gently behind her. "Hello there."
