The warmth rang true inside these bones

The hunting trip had been a success, in Dhiren's mind. Although they hadn't caught much, he had learned a good bit from his daddy and was more confident than he had been before they had left that morning. The time he had spent with all four sisters was definitely rewarding in itself, too. Dhiren wouldn't trade the time he had spent with his family for anything in the world. He knew that he would hold family close to his heart the older he got, and with that in mind, he enjoyed what time he had with every bit of his being. These thoughts were dancing around in his mind as he made his way back to the den. Familiar trails were made in the grass across Ludicael as he retraced the blades of grass that had been bent down from the earlier romp with Canta and Novel on the way to the hunting scene. Heading home was definitely something that made him happy. It was either that he enjoyed feeling secure in the only home he knew or it was simply that he loved coming home to his mother. Both were good explanations and he stuck to them with pride. His mother and an unfamiliar white wolf were settled outside the entrance of their den and his eyes widened. Dhiren's pace began to slow as he sniffed the air and caught the strange scent of the other female. He had never seen his mother with anyone other than Silent, his adopted grandmother, so of course he would be wary. Cautiously, Dhiren walked towards his mother, nuzzling Canta with his nose before lovingly licking and nuzzling Song's face. "Mama, we're baaaack," he said in a sing-song voice, a smile breaking across his own muzzle. "It was fun," he stated, tail beginning to wag behind him. His bi-colored gaze then turned to the stranger that was comfortably resting beside Song. Dhiren's smile faltered a little, but he looked back to his mama and quietly whispered, "Mama...who is that?"
