I found

speech & thoughts

She had forgotten what it was like to be within a pack. To wake up every morning and to have others around you, to not have to worry about going without food or being attacked in the middle of night in your slumber. Though she had to admit it was overwhelming, especially with discovering her uncle. She was grateful for discovering more family, but it was adding to the overwhelming feeling. He had provided her meals and was constantly interested in her and her siblings. It was almost smothering, but he knew when to back off. She wasn't used to such attention and she hoped that the feelings would fade and that she would become used to it. With her decision to at least stay the winter so she hoped that she would quickly get used to her uncle's interest in her life.

Today she had managed to do some of her own hunting, able to provide her own food for once. It felt good to get back out in the field and be able to bring home supper on her own, provide for herself and feel satisfied with her work. The fluid movements of her legs carried her over the earth, heading towards a spot away from the den and a spot that was peaceful. She had found one spot, under a smaller willow right by a small stream of water. It was quiet and she felt it would be a good place to settle down, but before she could reach her destination, her silver blue eyes caught sight of the familiar grey form ahead. She couldn't help but smile when she saw him, the man who offered to help her out. Since her Uncle had been taking so much of her time she really hadn't thought of Torin's lack of appearance. Even if she did, she would have just assumed he was busy with his pack duties.

Picking up her pace she intercepted him. Grinning behind the fat hare she zipped right past him, her pace quick enough that they wouldn't collide. Past him she headed over to the spot she was looking to go and laid down her kill. She then turned herself around and walked back over to Torin with a smile.

"Hey," she called with a small smirk playing on her inky lips.
