Novella was relieved as another joined her, more so to see who the familiar figure actually was."Hello Novel" She responded warmly, a smile crossing her features as she greeted her niece in return. Her worries of being Bhaire's only student today had been pushed aside, and though this was hardly the place for her to speak with her niece, she was glad to have the opportunity spend some time with Novel, it no longer mattered if anyone else showed.
There were of course more to follow though, the first was Sage, a young male a similar age to herself who had actually been present in Song's recent lesson. She gave a small nod of her head in acknowledgement and greeting to the black wolf, before turning her attention to the next arrival who was quick to distract Novella from noticing the look that Sage cast in Novel's direction. She was a complete stranger to Novella, though not only that she had never seen anyone quite like her. Certainly a canine, though surely not a wolf, forcing her gaze ahead once more, Novella tried not to stare. The striped canine already seemed nervous enough.
The next to follow however was a wolf, though not someone that Novella could say she knew. Once more she turned her attention back to Bhaire in case he decided to begin the lesson, though also for she had no reason to stare at the other members of her pack. There was however soon a far louder arrival as a young black male pushed his way through the trees and joined them. The smile formed across Novella's muzzle again. "Hello Dhiren" She responded to her nephew as he joined her and Novel, sitting on the other side of the smaller female.
It seemed he had been in perfect timing, that or Bhaire took Dhiren's words as an invitation to start the lesson, stepping forward with his introduction and touching lightly upon the topic of the Gods and the signs they left in the world. Her birth pack, Ahlon was certainly experienced with those signs, although perhaps a little too much sometimes. Novella herself had no real knowledge about them beyond the fact that they existed, it was mainly the Augur of the pack who spent their time reading them, their Tyro or apprentice who would focus upon studying them. Others in the pack had the knowledge too of course, though none as skilled as the Augur. To be honest her own heart had laid more with the stories, she had never felt she had a talent for telling them, though her father had always told the best in her opinion, though Satu had been very good as well of course.
