Word of the war refugees arriving had reached Aeil's ears like spreading flames in a dry forest. She hadn't hesitated when the rumors spread around the pack and she didn't intend to slow down now. Winter was vastly approaching the southern pack, causing whatever prey that usually rested in the surrounding woods to flee for warmer grounds. Aeil didn't blame them, but they sure did make a large dent in her choice of dinner meat. That meant it would do the same for the refugees, so she did her best to grab whatever she thought edible. The hunting trip didn't take long, for the catch was not as vast as the past summer's. She dragged a buck by the throat, its weight becoming a nuisance for her neck muscles. Complaints didn't leave her, but rather built up in the dark female's chest and became energy to sustain her muscles. Powerful limbs increased their gait as she got closer to where Dragon had found the camp for their visitors. His scent filled her nose and her heart raced at a rabbit's hopping pace. She came across the first of many to come: Ashtoreth. Words weren't exchanged because of the mouthful of the deer neck, but she dipped her maw in greeting and proceeded to walk towards the chosen location. Aeil gently lowered her catch at the entrance, hoping the chilly atmosphere would keep it fresh until the rest of the refugees came. Her gaze met Dragon's and she briefly nuzzled him before she turned right around to stand beside him. "It's our pleasure to have you here, despite the circumstances," she gently said. "We wouldn't have it any other way. To have you here soothes our thoughts to know that you are safe and among friends." As she spoke, she kept an ear out for others that were expected to arrive.
