Spring Greetings

Ryka was asleep in her den, when the Alpha's howl woke her. Rising to her feet, she padded out and stretched. Ryka then headed off towards the pack clearing. Arriving at the clearing, Ryka could see a number of wolves already, however rather than feeling terrified this time, the young wolf was more comfortable if still shy. Slinking around the edge of the group, after greeting Leo, Ryka spotted a space and sat down, keeping her head low. Looking around, her gaze settled on the orphaned pups and she was pleased to see them there. Ryka had not known the mother of the pups but was still sad over the loss of her packmate when she had heard. She could also relate to how the pups were feeling as not so long ago, she had lost her own parents when her whole pack had been wiped out. Glancing at the pups again, she gave a gentle smile and then returned her gaze to Leo, listening and watching intently.
