Wren really didn't want to make her appearance at a meeting. She really didn't. She'd rather wait in the shadows for the perfect time to come out and say "I'm home." Not show up at a meeting all the sudden out of nowhere. Especially not an important, mandatory meeting. But she missed her husband and her kids. She wanted to see how much they've grown while she's been gone. And oh, how she heavily regretted refusing to tell Bass about her absence. She hated herself for it. Her kids and him must have been worried sick, and she knew her family didn't need that type of stress heaved onto their shoulders. Especially not Bass, who protected a pack and a family. Ah... he might not be happy. She'd done this twice before, both intentionally. But whatever scolding he had in store for her, she was prepared. She deserved it after all.
Wren felt her heart sink into her stomach as her husband summoned the pack with the similar urgency in his voice. She didn't want to go. But she had to. She needed to see them again, after three seasons. She was tired of waiting around for that perfect moment. The woman stood to her paws and sighed, making her way toward the sound of her lover's voice with a nervous feeling bubbling in her chest. Nervousness... along with excitement and sadness. She was so excited to see her family again. Bass might be mad, but she still loved him. She still missed him. Her kids... how she missed them, too. She wanted to curl around each of them and snuggle them forever. If only she was big enough! Her first litter of puppies must be around two years now, if she was doing math correctly. She was so excited to see them and hear about their adventures and what they achieved during her absence.
She arrived momentarily, lurking in the shadows. Bass, Sandpiper, and the boy she knew as Tinaro were here. The woman stared at Bass for a moment, fighting the urge to run up to him and smother him in as much love as she could muster. The same for her dearest Sandpiper. She wanted to wrap both of them up and tell them both how much she loved and missed them. But she stood her ground. Nobody was here, nobody accept Tinaro. But she knew that right now wasn't appropriate. Her heart thumped aggressively in her chest and she stepped out of the shadows partially, sitting down with a nervous whine. Her tail flipped over so that the tip rested neatly on her paws and she looked up at Bass. Her ears flattened against her head. Not now, Wren. Not now.
