I'll be runnin' free
Solveiga was still getting gradually settled into pack life. The entire concept was new to her, in fact. She had never belonged to a pack, and yet she felt it was were she ultimately belonged. This way, she had a family of sorts to protect her and give her guidance if needed. She could not help the fact that she was dependent by nature. Perhaps growing up with an overly controlling brother had made her that way, and while it had changed a little since he had left her, she did not think she could ever be the type to call herself truly independent. And so, here she was, surrounded by other wolves where she could feel a part of something.
Today Solveiga woke up early and left the den area to stretch her legs and take a walk around the territory. She was still working on committing all of the little areas to memory, making sure the mental map she had was accurate. After all, she did not want to get lost just trying to find where to sleep at night, that would be humiliating. So the young woman set out, walking at a relaxed pace around the territory. Eventually she came to the lake, where she stopped to casually take a drink. Everything was calm. Which was why she became a bit startled when she heard a wolf running closer. Her brow furrowed as she looked up and scanned her surroundings, and soon her baby blue eyes landed on the wolf in question. The stranger slowed her pace and approached the edge of the lake, taking a drink as she caught her breath. Solveiga then realized that the woman looked familiar, not from actually seeing her before but from the description Regulus had given her when she first joined the pack. My younger sister Báine he had said. White with pink skin, pretty little lady and all of that. She certainly fit the description. He had also told Solveiga that the little albino woman loved to meet new wolves. That made two of them.
Solveiga perked her ears a bit and let her tail sway happily behind her. "Hi," she called out, her voice characteristically soft. "We haven't met before, my name is Solveiga. Your brother told me about you, though, you must be Báine?" she tilted her head a bit. Maybe Báine could be one of her first new friends here.
