A grand future ahead

A howl from Kotori, another pack meeting to attend. It wasn't that Satira minded pack meetings or anything, she just had better things to be doing with her time. Like reorganizing her private stash of herbs and medicines. In the middle of shuffling around some of her bottles, vials, and decoctions, she heard her uncle's call and heaved a sigh. Really? Right now? Well, no sense in delaying it, she supposed... "Ciná!" she called back behind her into their den. "Get up, there's a meeting going on!" Stepping down the little stepladder she used to reach her shelves, Tira gave her coat a shake and a smoothing to at least attempt to look presentable, then waited by the entrance for her giant roommate to come join her so they could walk over to the meeting together.

As they neared the gathering, Tira could already see her father and his new family milling about over there, the abundance of small nature-defying puppies scampering about. It made the little wolf-dog's throat tighten a bit. She still wasn't 100% sure how she felt about the whole situation—not that she really had a choice or a say in the matter. She didn't blame her father for any of it though. How could anyone have predicted this?! "Stay by me, okay...?" she whispered to Ciná as they drew near. And then as if flipping on a switch, Tira was all sweet smiles and bright blue eyes as she regarded her sire and her mother, finding a spot somewhere in between Mojito's new family and her family where she and Ciná could sit on their own.
