Gale was very curious about this little pups that belonged to her brother. For the longest time they had been kept secret, and then when they had finally arrived they were hoarded away like some delicate little treasure. The secrecy made her curious and nosy, but, out of respect for Gaia at least, she had kept her distance and let Voltage keep his budding family to himself. It felt odd not seeing him around as much, and though he had always been that big, brotherly figure to her and the rest of their siblings she struggled at times to see him in the role of father. She assumed naturally that he would fill the role perfectly, but...it was hard for her to adjust to.
Because she wanted to understand and not feel left out, she was sticking to the Obsidian Beach today. The border was not going anywhere, and since they had so few visitors she figured she could relax with her duties for a little while. Besides, she was not the only one who ran the border anyway; someone else could take over for a bit. She instead paced around outside the pack's dens, absently wandering around within sight of them just to keep her feet busy while her eyes and ears continually flickered back in the direction of the family's resting places. Were they in there? Was it safe to go looking for them? She felt a little awkward about it - she still had not gotten over her fear that she was ill equipped to handle kids - but she was determined. No more secrets: she wanted to meet her nieces.

Illie had been allowed out of the den for a while now, but there were so many rules. She wasn't allowed here, she wasn't allowed there, she couldn't go there or anything! Not without supervision, not without her father breathing down her neck. It was stiffling and annoying and she didn't like it. She wanted fun, she wanted to play, but her father was such a worrywart. She just couldn't take it sometimes. All she wanted to do was run and play and explore and meet everyone. Their family was supposively so big and yet all she saw was her den, her parents, Current and Uncle Glace. So that day, she decided, she was gonna have some fun! And her fun involved a very certain pretty purple wolf pacing around the dens. She smiled brightly to herself, hiding in the shadows of the den as she watched the woman's movements, waiting for just the right time. As soon as...Ah there! She leapt out of the shadows with a cry, aiming to wrap her paws around Gale's front leg and hopefully scare her from the surprise, if possible. She wanted something fun, and so help her if she wasn't entertained sometime soon. This place was just so boring. |

As she wandered around outside the dens, keeping a vigilant eye out for Voltage, Gaia, or any little pups that had to be their children, it never once occurred to Gale that someone might have been watching her. She was completely unaware, sure that she was the only one there and that the others had to be somewhere inside of their den where they liked to hide out. Though she had nothing to go off of as far as appearances went, she knew they would be little - the last pup she had accidentally happened upon had been pretty small too. Her family had a penchant for peculiar colors, all thanks to their colorful parents. Would they look like miniatures of her brother, maybe lighter colored if only because Gaia was?
Very little thought had been given before to what her nieces looked like, and because the subject had always left her feeling out of sorts she had never truly delved deeper into the matter before. As she continued to pace, she thought, trying without much success to envision what they might look like when suddenly a little streak of blue and white sprang out at her from the shadows, a high pitched voice crying out at her. Completely caught off guard and startled beyond what she had possibly been startled in years, Gale jumped. She felt tiny paws try to latch onto her foreleg and drew it away quickly as she leaped back, her heart hammering in her chest as she, too, cried out in a moment of candid panic.
The second she turned her head and her eyes landed on the tiny creature, looking like a proper little mischievous monster, Gale realized she had found what she had been looking for. Her chest ached from the scare, but her mind was quickly putting things together. This was definitely Voltage's. "Jeez, you just about scared the life right out of me," Gale stammered as she tried to calm her now ragged breathing. Only half in exaggeration, she lifted a foreleg and tucked her paw beside her chest, willing her heart rate to calm. Was this how it was going to be? Scares and starts from a bunch of kids that were just as energetic as her brother? What did he get us into?
Staring at the little pup, the look on Gale's face was a little uneasy. What did she say to her? She knew her parents, assumed they were close. She had every right to be here. The protocol Gale had used the last time she encountered a rogue pup could not be used now. "Which one are you?" she asked at length, feeling silly about needing to ask. What kind of aunt did not know her own nieces?
