that stereotypical 'i just can't wait!'
[ pack only ]

Sleeping was only something she did when she felt like it, especially now after the raid. She never expected to arrive home in the middle of something like that and wondered if it was planned. She hadn't had time to talk to her mother since she'd returned home, her having been busy with her newest children and all. If it wasn't for the children, she probably wouldn't have needed a sudden change of scenery. She was young, so maybe she didn't understand everything there was in the world, but she wasn't sure she'd ever understand marrying one man and sleeping with another... at least not before you slept with the man you married and birth his children.
Widow wasn't going to voice her opinion of course, it was her mothers decision. But that didn't make her happy with the new additions. She supposed it wasn't their fault that they were born, but if her older siblings were aloud to dislike their younger siblings, so was she. She didn't even like her littermates or her older siblings really, except for maybe Ghoul.
The young woman strolled out from her hut stiffly, her body sore from the raid and her travels. Having already taken something for the inflammation, she hoped a little walk around the nook would help loosen her aching joints. Since the sun was out, she hardly expected to see many others but it was never impossible. Most of the pack didn't need to hide away during the day, although the pack functioned almost entirely at night otherwise. Widow was one of the lucky many to enjoy both times of day, and it seemed that she wasn't alone.
A smaller form sat before her, their back turned. They slumped over a moment later and Widow tilted her head. This must have been one of her newest siblings, unless someone else had a litter while she was gone. If someone else had been pregnant, she didn't know about it. Though, from the looks of the pup, it looked more family than not. Was she ready to meet one of her siblings? She didn't want to be, but leaving now was out of the question. She didn't want to look bad to mom, shoving her siblings away and ignoring their existence... but did she really want to like them either? No, she didn't...
"Are you supposed to be out here?" she asked, her tone curious but not accusatory. She certainly didn't want to get in trouble for a pup being out of the den if they weren't supposed to be and nothing was going to stop her from returning said pup, sibling or not. She wanted to be responsible, even if it meant being a mean older sister.
"Speech!"
