Novella had certainly felt that things couldn't get any worse once already that morning and quickly been mistaken. Her mother however would begin to help her see that perhaps all of this could be put behind them as she allowed Frith to the pack. She was relieved to hear those words so much so that she barely cared about the threat of a punishment that soon would follow. She would live, and her new-found friend would be welcomed into the pack.
Of course at that point things would threaten to go rapidly downhill once more. The possible punishment hadn't sunk into her head yet, no ideas of what they had in store would reach her mind though instead another member of her family would arrive. Worried that she was about to be scolded once more and this time by her sister the brief moment of relief would fade away once more as she found herself glancing downwards once more, embarrassed that her sister had chosen now to pay her a visit, right as she was about to be punished for having invited a rogue into her den.
To her surprise however Symphony would side with her instead and her gaze would lift once more to look up to her sister as she spoke catching the little wink as she finished. What on earth was going on? She'd felt for sure she was going to be in trouble and yet here was someone defending her case now. Perhaps it was a little late though hopefully it wouldn't make things any worse.
Her father would speak once more, still disagreeing with Symphony on the matter. It was no surprise though to hear yet another version of events would only bring back that feeling of guilt once more. She would glance again to Frith, an apologetic look across her face. He had still wished to join after the yelling and scolding but would he even still want to be friends after the drama she and her family had caused for him?
At last Novel would speak once more and deliver their punishment. She was to be grounded. Perhaps she could live with that, she had spent longer than that without leaving the lands before what with her parent's arriving and the epidemic. Finding Frith had in fact been her first trip out of the lands for a while. Hopefully she wouldn't find herself with the urge to wander again anytime soon and providing apparently they didn't enter her den again she assumed she would still be allowed to spend time with Frith, perhaps help each other adjust and get through their punishments.
