To be perfectly honest Novella wouldn't have minded if her walk along the shore was interrupted by anyone in her pack, it meant that she certainly didn't mind her mate's presence. Between the wind and the waves she didn't notice his presence until he was close, the soft crunch of paw steps and his voice ringing out and she barely had a chance to turn and look to him before he slipped into pace at her side. She would lean softly into him as they continued, a small smile gracing her features. "Hello."
Blissful, it took a moment to do the maths and realise that neither parent was with the pups. They were growing quick and it wasn't incredibly late though someone still should have been watching them. She probably would have been more worried if there weren't others she knew would likely step into position to watch them for a while. "Who's with the children?" She didn't think for even a second that Frith would have left alone, it was merely curiosity rather than concern within her voice now.
