One would think maturity would snuff out the sense of rebelliousness that the near adolescent felt... It did not. She'd lingered away from the pack for a bit, venturing here and there, trying to figure out who she was... Or who she wanted to be. The answer still hadn't come. The need to venture away was strong within the youth still, but today she had promised Knot that she would be within the territory today and she's keep to that promise... Even if it meant a boring day for her.

Or not. Ears pricked as her two toned frame came to a momentary pause as she regarded a young pup, marching through the territory on a mission. Orca knew what Aceres reaction would be if he were found alone... It'd be the same as when she'd been his age and exploring. Smirking slightly she'd move towards the pup, waiting until she was closer before speaking.

"Are you supposed to be so far from your den?"

Her tone was stern, scolding even, her furrowed brows suggesting she was upset. It stayed that way only for a few minutes before it softened into a smile.

"Guess it's good I'm here to escort you, huh, pup?"

She grinned mischievously, but it was also friendly, the dire wolf meant no harm to him, if anything she'd follow him around so he could explore in the safety of her shadow.
