She had surprisingly slept rather well through the loud storm last night. Honestly she hadn't even realized how tired she had been until she had settled in the den. It wasn't a permanent one, but she was used to it by now. She had even found herself sleeping vary peacefully into the morning, only beginning to stir when her uncle approached the den. The calling bark made her eyes flutter open, body uncurl, and her legs and feet stretching out as far as she could possibly manage. Then she rolled onto her feet and shook out her coat before heading to the mouth of the den and exiting it. The first thing that hit her was the smell of a fresh kill and when her eyes adjusted to the change of light she saw the kill before her uncle's feet. She smiled softly her silver blue eyes looking to his eyes.
Her tail wagged lightly, but oddly the women felt a little awkward. Here she was in front of a family member who felt like a complete stranger to her, how in the world would this ever work? What should she say? She wasn't even sure what in the world to do. She lightly bit her tongue as she tried to sort through everything buzzing through her mind, did her uncle know how her mother currently was? She had no idea he hadn't had contact with her, just assumed he had. She took in a breath and tried to calm herself and her eyes dropped to the kill again. Maybe some simple conversation first before digging into family stuff. She brought her gaze back to his before smiling again.
"Have you been apart of Lirim for long Uncle?" she asked, curious at how long he had been at this.
