Night walk

"Speech"

Recluse closed her eyes for some time, Lilith and Galho would easily alert her to anything suspicious but the woman was enjoying her moment of peace. Soon enough her heart would ache for her children and fiancee but for now she was enjoying not being needed by anyone. It was a heavier mantle than she'd have ever guessed when she'd gone into leading her pack, one she would trade for very little but sometimes she did wish for the simple peace and quiet of simply relaxing with her growing family without the needs of the whole pack weighing upon her time.

The scent of another wolf reached her, and she felt Lilith coil tighter around her neck, no doubt the snake was tasting the male as well, the woman could just imagine the snake's tongue flicking in and out rapidly. "Recluse there is another wolf here." Lilith had lifted her head towards Recluse's ear to whisper her warning. Recluse nodded slightly, just barely more than a flick of her head. "I know Lilith, thank you." She whispered back to the snake. Slowly she opened her eyes, cherry gaze scanning the darkness.

Ah, there! Two silver specks of light that could only be the male's eyes. Recluse shifted slightly, sitting up straighter before she called out, her voice strong and confident. "Weren't you ever told it's rude to stare?" Now then... Would he flee upon his discovery or would her rise to her challenge?
