It was probably the best Novella had slept for a while now, she hadn't shared a den since she had been a child, having her own den had been exciting for a while after that though she had forgotten how comforting it could be to have company close by as you slept, especially in times like these. Things had been looking up slightly last night, a new friend and a new addition to the pack though it seemed the girl had been terribly mistaken, they were going to get worse first.
She would awake with a start as she heard her name suddenly shouted. It would take her a second to realise quite what was going on, she recalled Frith of course though certainly hadn't seen the error in her ways especially not when she was half asleep. She would however register her mother's angry screams and begin to put two and two together. She would glance now to Frith who also sat awake at her side and felt awful for having gotten him into such a mess. "That's my mum... she's not normally like this. Sorry." She explained, hoping that he wouldn't want to leave and of course hoping that Novel wouldn't make him.
She would rise then and step out of her den to confront her mother. She didn't think she had ever seen or heard her mother so mad and she would approach rather sheepishly, head held low and ears pulled back as she avoided making eye contact with her. This hadn't been her plan at all, to get Frith and herself in trouble, to make her mother mad. Now, where did she begin explaining to try and fix all of this mess?
"This is Frith." She began, an introduction was probably best. "He wants to join, but you and dad were asleep and we were tired too. We were going to come see you first thing this morning but I guess we overslept... sorry..." She would find herself apologising once more as she finally lifted her gaze from the ground to her mother, hoping that it would be enough to calm her. Of course there was probably still more explaining to do, though Novella's innocent mind hadn't yet realised fully why it had been so horrifying for Novel to find a strange man in her daughter's den.
