A New Song

Zuriel trotted into the den with a bundle of herbs between her teeth just in time to have their mother tell her and her brother to wait outside of the alcove. She almost protested and she would have had her mother not added that she would call for her if Zuriel was needed. The slender girl whined unhappily and settled on her haunches before finally setting her herbs down at her paws. Regulus didn't do as well at sitting still as she did. He paced back and forth while his cat friend groomed herself off to the side. Her eyes never wavered from the opening of the alcove and her ears stayed turned forward to listen for any and every noise that came from it.

She very nearly jumped to her paws when a puppy squeal rang out through the cavern, but she forced herself to stay still. At her brother's questioning she gave a little shrug and glanced toward him out of the corner of her eye. "Níl a fhios agam ... níl aon bhealach a insint sula mbíonn siad a rugadh." Her answer was very honest, but she didn't feel much like joking or guessing right now. Several moments passed before another squeal caught her attention. Her paws shuffled anxiously until finally their mother's voice called them forward to meet their new siblings.

She followed in behind Regulus so she barely even got her eyes on the pups before Reg exclaimed ridiculously about their new sister's coloring. Zuriel eyed their new siblings questioningly and, sure enough, one of the pups had a definite pink hue to her. But, upon closer inspection, she saw that the pup wasn't completely pink like Regulus was red. It was just her skin was was pink. In places where the newborn's fur was a bit thicker it was clearly white. Zuriel grinned a little and glanced at her brother with a chuckle before going over to get a closer look at the puppies. She had heard of wolves with pink skin before in all of the studies she had done with their grandmother, but she had no idea why their sibling was like this. She would leave that explaining to her mother.

Instead she eased onto her haunches near the pups, peering curiously at the tiny bundles of fur. Even with as much as she knew about healing and such she still couldn't quite understand how something so tiny could grow up to be as big as they were. Tá siad chomh gleoite! she said happily, her tail brushing against the ground behind her.
