There's a time to wait, and a time to take action

The meeting was well underway in moments and Ray was bouncing with her excitement. She couldn't believe they had been called to this big grown up meeting. They would get to explore and help a everything was tidied up. Who knew what magical things she would discover? She kept shooting glances over at Aurora, letting the other pup feed off her excitement. Even if she didn't know what was going on, Rory would know it was something awesome.

Mortar would speak up and the young girl would have to give a double take. She wouldn't have thought Mortar – a pup she had once had to coax from his den, would be so breezy about speaking in front of these wolves, most of which he surely didn't know. After her second glance his way her expression became a blown out smile and she nudged his side. “Good thinking!” she whispered in his ear.

She would watch as her mamma made her way over to one of her Aunties, and couldn't help but think Anais looked worried. Ray frowned and nudged Tar again. “Look out for Rory, kay?” she asked, her voice serious for once. She wouldn't leave Rory alone in this crowd, but she would have Tar to look over her, she trusted him. With that, she trotted off to mamma and Auntie Lior. She squished herself into her aunties paws despite her dislike for close contact, and tilted her head all the way back in order to look up at her face. Or rather, the underside of her nose.
