going it alone

Smee noticed her first, jumping gracefully from Killian's back to stand beside his master. Killian glanced at the marten, observing his bow, before looking up to meet the gaze of the female that approached. He knew her, from the day she had answered his call for a spar. Ruby eyes widened in surprise at her approach, but only momentarily. He dipped his head low to the ground in greeting. Hello to you too, Alena.
Taking a moment to look her over, he noticed the differences from their last meeting. Most obvious was her lack of pregnancy, which made him wonder where her young were while she was greeting strangers at the border. Next he took note of her demeanor. When they had met, the girl had been in need of venting about her condition. Now she seemed happy, regal even. It was just as surprising to him to see her leading a pack as it must have been for her to have him waltz into it.
Well, I never expected to see you leading any pack I sought to join either, he stated with a chuckle. Smee and I are here because we are looking for a more permanent home, and from what I've heard your pack may just be the right one.
