Austria nodded and stayed close to her, she crouched and started to slowly eat the rabbit, after a bit she finished and took a rib bone from the rabbit as a toy. She got to her paws, ready to follow her once more.
"You'll probably be set up in the main den but if you want you can be moved to the nursery. It's a little calmer, most of the pups are still with their mothers." Coeden got up and headed towards the main den, passing a few other wolves. Dau, an elder, glanced up at the newcomer, black and white eyes casting over her coat before returning to her slumber. "I'm at the back, so it's a bit less crowded. Plus," she raised her voice a little, "we aren't all old!" She called back at Dau who let out a playful growl. Coeden snickered and continued to the last few nests.
Austria looked at the new wolves, she slightly wagged her tail. she preferred to be in a nice, dark place.Ā The nursery seemed to be the best option to her, of course with the permission from the mothers. "..t-the n-nursery... s-sounds like an-nice place.." She whined softly, continuing to stay close to Coeden.
"Oh, of course! I'll come with you, if only to keep some of the more curious pups away. Lemme just grab a small something, I meant to give it to Fan A'r Lle yesterday.." she grabbed a small bundle of bones. "We like to give mothers a gift for their pups the day before they arrive. It's always a fun challenge to guess how many pups there are and whoever gets it right wins bragging rights." She laughed, turning back towards the entrance.
Austria lowered her ears with a little smile before following her inside. She made sure to be careful where she tread as she followed the she-wolf through the den. The scent of warm fur, milk, and new-pup scent made her feel at home again. Memory being at her grandfather's belly. He raised her since her mother died in birth, and her father died in battle. No other wolves were able, or had time, to care for a pup. So Wise Raven took it upon himself to raise his granddaughter before he was murdered.
She shook her head as she forced the saddening memory to the back of her mind. She continued to follow.
Coeden paused at Fan A'r Lle, dropping the small bundle. "Hope I get it this time!" She said and the mother laughed softly. "Come on, there should be spare nests somewhere here." the she-wolf said to Austria, finding two unoccupied nests fairly quickly. "I'll move them a little away, that way the pups won't try and bother you." She said, nudging them back a little. "Well, here you go! We'll have some food as the sun starts to go down but otherwise you can rest or I can take you around camp." Coeden offered with a smile.
Austria nodded shyly and went towards the nests, she didn't mind if the puppies pestered her, she loved to play with pups in her old pack, but being chased out and being so focused to make sure you stay alive broke that. But now she was here, but she probably won't be staying for long. Who knew what the alpha of this new pack might think of her. besides she's on the run. The last thing she'd want is to let her new pack down and lead them there. She'd had to leave in the night. She stared at a wall, lost in thought as she laid in her nest.
"I'll be just outside, if you need me feel free to come out! Fy will be back by sundown, don't worry." She grinned and started on her way out. "Twyni! You close?" She called for the wolf as she stepped outside. The golden furred male came trotting out to meet her. "Well, we found Austria! Hopefully Fy will be back sooner rather than later, and maybe Austria will stay. Who knows." The she-wolf said, sitting down to the side of the entrance. Twyni nodded, looking over towards the group of hunters. "Are you staying up tonight as well? I think I'm on with Syniad." Coeden considered for a second then shook her head. "Don't think so."
(I just gave myself an idea of who to pairbond Twyni to-)
Austria sighed and shifted a little, staying silent. She wished that her pack was still alive and well. She missed all of her friends, her family.. her grandfather. Everything happened way too fast for her. She lost it all.. she was so broken,Ā she felt tears start up and she kept quiet but let them run, laying a paw on her muzzle as she mourned.
