Scorpion's Meeting Thing

The soft humming and calming licks that her mother provided soothed the growing girl, eased her close to a sleeping state. Her fathers irritated grumbles were easily drowned out of her mind, sleep just about to take over when a loud howl echoed into the den. Yelping softly, Mercy awoke with a start and placed her paws on her mouth, glancing around to see if she had woken everyone else up. To her though, everyone seemed to be sleeping. Pulling herself upon long legs, she followed her newest brother, Exodus. She was used to being around pups who couldn't see, although she wasn't too careful in avoiding things that might make it hard on them. "Exodus." She whispered softly, making sure that the boy knew that she was coming up behind him. Ears perked as she smiled, but remembered that he couldn't see that. "I'm smiling at you, so I'm happy at you." She said softly, giggling in hushed tones.

Exodus called out her mothers name, which still sounded foreign on her ears. She knew her parents name, but she called them mom and dad. She knew that her daddy was grumpy so she trotted up to him, sat in between his paws. Mercy stretched her neck upwards so that her purple eyes were gazing at him, shining softly. "Daddy, you howled and woke me up. Why are you mad? Are you mad cause the red woman went away? She was pretty, but not as pretty as Momma." The words flowed from her maw quickly, wanting to distract him from whatever was making him unhappy. She didn't quite get the dynamics of a pack just yet, but she could smell that the red lady wasn't here any more. In fact, it seemed that no one was here. All the smells were stale, except for her family's.
