Satu had found herself spending very little time actually in her pack territory since she'd become a member. She'd justified it to herself by saying that she was learning everything she could about the lands further afield, but she knew she was lying to herself. She was avoiding the return to duty that was the very reason she'd joined her cousin's pack to begin with. Just a little more time with the carefree wandering life was what she was grasping for, and the guilt of that had sent her slinking back to Ludicael.
Just in time, it turned out, as she heard Song's voice rise over the territory, summoning the pack for a meeting. Satu sped up into a quick lope, arriving near the den Song and Cherokee shared a short time later. A quick glance around showed her that she wasn't at all late - in fact only a small amount of the pack had yet to arrive. She took a seat, lurking behind some of the older members of the pack, her tail curled over her muddy paws. Her ears pricked toward Song, curious. Novella was over there already, she saw, and she smiled in recognition of her exuberant cousin.
