it's a party and you're invited!

Wolves were beginning to arrive in surplus! It was hard to focus on Torben and his gift as blurs of moving bodies kept catching her attention. From a distance, she noticed a pair of grey wolves that she could tell were Fern and Rudyard. Her tail wagged as she hoped she would have a chance to say hello soon. As she asked Torben what he had brought and right as he said it was for her, she heard the scurrying of paws. They sounded quick and almost frantic. Turning to see what was happening, she had no time to move.

Suddenly, a pup ran right into her! Staggering slightly to the side before she regained her balance, Audra grew more concerned for the pup. A gasp left her lips as she leaned down to sniff at him. No scent of blood, maybe a bruise. Hearing Torben ask if the pup was alright, she glanced up at him. "Th-thank you for the gift," she said quietly, taking the wrapped bundle gently between her teeth to make sure it stayed out of harm's way.

Quickly putting it on the nurse's station table, she returned her attention to Torben and the boy. Ready to ask the pup again if he were alright, she noticed Torben staring at the pup in a bewildered fashion. "E-everything okay?" Audra asks with a tilt of her face toward Torben and then back down to the pup.
