Lyriani

When Lyriani crossed the borders back into Lost Valley, she came with an entourage. However, they were not adults, but orphaned pups, whose parents had been killed. The dark brindle hybrid brought them to centre of the terratory, in the hope of finding her pack to introduce the new arrivals. She was especially keen to seek out Snowy Owl, to make sure it was alright to bring in these youngsters to the pack, and she prefered to meet the alphess first, than the alpha. She didn't have a problem with Ankh, she liked and respected him, but he wasn't the most level headed or understanding individual, and she didn't want to anger him.

"Wait here, someone will come to us," Lyriani said, her firey orange eyes travelling from the pups at her side to scan the area, looking for her packmates.

Tyrone & Zariana & Dark Murder

Tyrone followed her and stood behind her as she spoke. His sister had crawled under him now and was lying down beneath him waiting. Dark Murder was beside his brother.

Snowy Owl & ShearWind

Fortunately for the small group, the alpha male was investigating the other portion of the territory, bringing a small contingent of the pack with him to check and remark the borders. His mood was slightly unpredictable in these last few weeks, on one day being calm and unruffled, and the next frighteningly tense and quick to anger. He hadn't had the chance to speak with Lyckos yet about taking this section of land, and that was half the reason why he was so moody - he was a little anxious.

Snowy Owl was as ever the more rational of the pair. She waded right into her mate's worst temper tantrums and remained even-faced and calm throughout, and did what she could to temper his anger and keep it from lashing out at the other pack members. Figuring it'd do him some good to bond with the others in their border patrol, Snowy Owl had split from the group and was walking side by side with her daughter when she eventually came upon Lyriani and the pups. "Lyriana, who do we have here?" Presenting her subordinate and the three youngsters with a friendly facade and voice, and showing little in the way of authority since these were just pups, the alphess boldly approached the group and lowered her muzzle to sniff at them.

ShearWind stood back a foot or two, regarding the new arrivals with quiet interest.

Lyriani

Her firey orange eyes were quick to catch onto the approaching figures of the alphess and her daughter, and Lyriani easily dropped into a submissive posture in front of her alpha. No, Snowy Owl did not display outright her authority, but Lyriani displayed her respect reguardless, as she had been taught by Kalion and Sequioa.

"This is Tyrone, Zarianna and Dark Murder. I found them at the Marsh; they're orphans, and I thought we could offer them a home?"

Tyrone

Tyrone felt his sister cowar back under him but paid little heed as he watched the two approach. His fur slightly rose unsure of this situation. His tail flicked. He sniffed right back at snowy owl.

Zarianna coward back into her brothers back legs scared.

Dark murder stood tall as he kept an eye on the other female which stayed back.

Snowy Owl & ShearWind

"Of course they're welcome here." With a smile and a soft voice, her agreeing words were meant for Lyriana, while her warm tones were used to hopefully make the pups feel a little less intimidated. She didn't drop her alpha posture for them, but everything else about her, from her gentle eyes to her careful movements, was aimed to make them feel more welcomed. She personally didn't think her mate would be all that excited about the three new orphans, but when pups were involved, she would have the final say.
