It's a big world out there
Solveiga had been a member of Celestial for a few days now, and she was still in the process of getting used to things. Regulus had been kind enough to show her around, but now she had decided to take some time to look at the whole territory again and really get herself used to everything. She wanted to know her home like the back of her paw, just as the other members did. She knew, with a little time, she would. She also knew that with a little more time, the scent of the pack would become more familiar to her and would even become part of her own. Then maybe it wouldn't intimidate her like it still did right now.
The little sand colored woman had just spent the morning reacquainting herself with the lake in the territory, and now she returned to the plains. She remembered this place pretty well, and navigated through it fairly easily. She was lowering her head to sniff at some flowers and see if they were possibly medicinal when suddenly a little whine reached her ears and sent a bit of panic into her heart. Was someone hurt? Had something happened?
Her baby blue eyes darted around, startled. Then after a moment of silence a new sound met her ears. This time she heard short, sharp little barks. They were so high in pitch that immediately she knew they must belong to one of the pups Regulus had told her about. She had yet to meet any of them, but she really wanted to. And so she was about to. She relaxed and even chuckled a bit as she figured out that the pup must be lost somewhere in the tall grass. "It's okay," she called out. "I'm coming to find you, just stay where you are!" Solveiga lowered her nose again, trying to sift past the smells of grasses and flowers to find the lost little pup. And, before long, she located the scent and followed it quickly. There she found a rather handsome pup of black and white, with dazzling green eyes. She smiled brightly at him and wagged her tail behind her, letting it sweep through the grasses.
"Found you!" she said cheerfully, as if it had been a game. The pup looked pretty frustrated by the whole situation, so she hoped she could cheer him up a bit. She got down onto her stomach and gestured to her back. She was small and not very strong, but the pup could not weigh that much, right? "Come on," she said softly, still smiling at the boy. "Let's find a way out together."
