Mending and Building Make Growth

Manea had just finished cleaning up the den a bit after the pup's lunch, sending Malico and Mariah off into the island to play and explore while she saw to some things around their home. That wouldn't take her long through and soon enough she was heading out again, intending to go check on the pack's food stores to make sure they didn't need to organize a larger hunt as they went into the colder months. However, that plan was at least delayed as she stepped out into the sunlight and was promptly stopped by her brother. She glanced up with surprise to see Deimos walking toward her with Ikigai in tow, the two of them shoulder to shoulder and looking distinctly more happy than the last time she had spoken to them together. She knew the pair had kept fairly to themselves through Deimos' recovery from Alastor's punishment, but she hadn't expected this kind of development from her hardheaded brother. Curious, she turned to face them and gave Ikigai a warm smile before shifting her gaze to Deimos. He mentioned that they had some news and her brows lifted with interest, glancing between the two wolves. "Oh? Do tell," she asked, half expecting Ikigai to elaborate, but when she didn't the attention again shifted back to her older brother. It seemed that Ikigai wanted Deimos to give whatever piece of news the two of them seemed all too excited about so she waited to hear what her brother had to say.
