new day dawning (tag Hemera)

Hemera was asleep for a long time, but, after a few moments of sleeping, she roused herself and blinked her icy blue eyes. She heard the howl, and her ears pricked in confusion, until she remembered that she was being trained by the leader. Shaking her fur, she began to walk, her eyes almost closed until she smelt Katja's scent. She turned her head, spotting the female and walking over to her, giving her head another quick shake as she finally woke up. She raised her head, hoping to meet her new mentor's gray gaze, wagging her tail the slightest bit. She opened her jaws and thought of what to say, but soon closed them again, tilting her head. Then she finally spoke, a smile on her face.
