The early morning was peaceful, when many of the animals were still fast asleep. Not even the birds were awake yet to chirp and sing. The sun was starting to come up as the yearling wondered through the old haunts of the pack territory, aiming to head back to her old den. Things had been very quiet since the first challenge and Uncle was busy working. It left her with to much free time, especially since Ignis seemed to be spending time within the borders of the pack. He had made a friend, as did she, but her friend wasn't that terribly deep of a connection. They had simply been the same age and had found each other one night, both unable to sleep. Shaye had been very busy for some time now and Actaea was beginning to think a bit selfishly, wondering if she had been forgotten by her mentor. She tried to suppress the thoughts, but lately she was just feeling grumpy and moody. Unable to sort out her own feelings on everything that was happening was overly frustrating to the yearling. He hoped her Uncle would tell them what was the plan soon, Because staying around home when she wasn't sure if that's were they will stay was awkward to her. Moving quietly through the grasses she headed towards their old den. "Speech" & 'Thought'

Theta was lingering outside of the den where she and her family were staying. Her brothers annoyed her to no end, what with Tyto and Tornadic both being way too energetic and Tythe being just annoying in general. Tsunami was alright but they didn't talk much and that was more than alright with Theta.

Spotting an older wolf in the area seemingly walking towards their den Theta would pipe up. "Who are you?" Her tone was almost as if she was interrogating the other wolf. She was curious as to why they were here. What reason would somebody she didn't know have for visiting their den. It would be one thing if they got invited over, but she also couldn't think of why they would be invited. Theta's social skills still weren't the best, rude was not a thing she knew how to easily turn off.

She perhaps hadn't have been quiet enough and hadn't realized there was a den so close to her. Molten gaze spotted the pup just as the pup spotted her form and Actaea halted herself. Ears would perk as the pup spoke, not beating around the bush. Eyebrows would raise slightly, but her expression remained neutral. She was upwind from the pup and unable to realize that this was one of her neices. Her pelt was dark like the Praetor line, but there was many dark pelted wolves around here. Being distant from the pack with everything going on it was very possible one of the pack members had pups. "Actaea Praetor," she replied. "And you are?" She couldn't say she was curious about the pup at the moment, sulking in her own slightly sour mood, but with her lessons from Shaye she couldn't bring herself to be down right rude and ignore the other. "Speech" & 'Thought'

Upon hearing the other wolf’s name Theta became suddenly more interested in this meeting. They were a Praetor, she was also a Praetor. Had she found an unknown relative? Her curiosity levels towards the woman rose. Wondering how Actaea would react to learning Thetas’ last name the pup made pointed eye contact with the other wolf “Theta Praetor” the pup wasn’t sure what she was going to do after this with this new found knowledge, but something was bound to come up. There’s no way nothing would come of this, there was a chance that actually nothing happened. But Theta would make sure that didn’t happen.

The pup became a lot more interested and made it a point to make eye contact with her as she stated her name. Actaea knew there was only one wolf that claimed the Praetor name that would be having kids. All of her other half siblings and even her older litter mates did not choose to carry the name of their father's family. This child was one of Ty's, there was no doubt. A light smirk would spread across the female's face. Theta had a nice ring to it, Actaea didn't know it's meaning, but it was unique enough to be easily remembered. "Well Theta that would make you my niece," she would reply as her smirk softened to a grin. Actaea did like kids, but she was uncertain how Ty's kids were. She knew that Ty had favored her father's way's more then Acere's, but the children were young and there was still a chance that the her father hadn't tried to brainwash them. They had a chance to avoid the pain she had felt because of her father's lies and unkept promises. "I will say I'm surprised to see you here in Abaven," she would state. "Speech" & 'Thought'

Theta eyed Actaea, where had they been? It seemed as if everyone she’d met so far had heard about the pups coming to Abaven. Theta also wondered how one of her relatives had ended up in Abaven. She didn’t know much about their family history yet but it seemed odd to find an aunt in one of the most lame packs. Come to think about it she knew about uncle cloud but nobody else; it took a while to get from Erovrare to Abaven. Was the rest of her family the weird nice wolves? Was her father the only wolf in the family with his head on completely straight? If that was all true then it was no wonder that they lived so far away from everyone else.

Theta couldn’t imagine the rest of the world being against her father and the Praetor ways, Noir seemed like an alright guy. The world needed some straightening out that was for sure, when Theta got old enough she was definitely going to take part in doing that. No way was society going to be all nice and sweet under her watch.

“That’s strange, it seems like everyone knew of our arrival.” Theta was still looking at Actaea, a wolf so odd deserved attention. “I could also say the same about you considering Abaven isn’t the most intelligent of packs.”
