The paws of a proud Alpha hit the ground with a bit of bounce in his step. He had his first pack members; there were five of them now in total, including his brother, an old friend’s son and two femoras. What more could he ask for? He had an amazing pack and new friends and family. An almost innocent grin graced his maw as he headed towards the hidden dens, he already had the position imprinted in his mind, so he was unlikely to forget, besides, his own scent got stronger as he approached it. Sighing softly Esto glanced at the little fox that was hitching a ride on his back and she grinned at him, obviously excited for this too, or perhaps she was just happy for him, he couldn’t really tell.

As he made it to the entrance to the dens before everyone else, Estolad sighed softly, perhaps he had been moving a little to fast… Either that or everyone else were just slow pokes. Flicking his ears slightly Esto sat down near the den entrance, laughing softly as Clara slid off onto the ground and pouted at him. “What?” He asked and grinned innocently, giggling as she stuck her tongue out at him. “Why aren’t we going inside?” She asked and Esto sighed softly, flicking his tail. “I want to make sure everyone can find it, so I’m going to wait for them to show up before going inside” He explained and she nodded slightly, flopping down beside him and yawning widely, she’d had a long day.

Giving the young vixen a lick on the forehead, Esto flicked his ears slightly and glanced around, debris from the earthquake littered the ground and made the entrance to the dens even harder to spot. Sighing softly, Esto stood up and began to pull the branches out of the way of the mouth of the dens and brush the leaves away with his tail. At the same time, he started rubbing his scent on the entranceway, an official claim on the dens as he had forgotten to do it earlier.

After a couple of minutes, a muffled giggle caught his attention and he glanced at the small pile of leaves the noise had come from. “Clara?” He mused softly, laughing as the young vixen poked her head out of the pile of leaves. Grinning up at the brute, her ear twitched slightly, a leaf fell off of it and he giggled slightly, giving her forehead another lick before returning to his cleaning.

Tyranea trailed behind the others, she still wasn't sure about them. They were her new pack members though, so she was going to have to get used to the. She had been rather sad when Esto had taken little Clara away but it couldn't be helped. She was his companion so had to stick with him. The two foxes, the otter, she wouldn't be able to eat them, or any of their kind most likely, she was rather happy they weren't one of the main things she ate to begin with. She might not have been able to join if they were. She thought about the pack as she followed the scent of Esto. Of the wolves, she was the smallest, the Alpha being just larger then her. She was probably going to be low in the pack until she could prove herself. Size did not matter, she had been able to survive just fine with hers. She was wary with there only being one femora other then herself though. Her last encounter with brutes had been less then pleasant and was the reason she was here now.

She reached the dens after two of the others had gone in. She approached the two brutes that remained outside, keeping her head low. She sat down with them, hesitant to enter first. She wasn't sure she was ready to have anyone behind her yet, the trust was not quite there yet. She would wait until they entered. "The dens...... They are well hidden...." When she spoke it was just loud enough to be heard, but just barely. She looked down at the little fox, smiling ever so slightly. She liked the little one, and was rather happy Clara seemed to have taken a liking to her also. She bent down and nudged the fox with her muzzle slightly, intending to knock her over.

Ty was rather uncomfortable being so close to the two brutes at the moment. She was attempting to hide and ignore it by concentrating on Clara. She was sure the Alpha and his brother meant her no harm, and yet she still had the urge to shy away from them, or to run. Her ears laid back slightly as her stomach made a slight noise. It had been a while since she ate. Maybe she could go hunting later. She knew that was going to be one way she could contribute to the pack. Hunting is something she quickly learned to do when she and her brother were on their own. She was quick, often able to keep up with the prey, and she was rather good at strategy, once the territory became more familiar. With a group hunt she could easily drive the prey into a trap, and possible help take it down.

She looks up at the Alpha and his brother, realizing she had been lost in thought and not sure how long she had been sitting there. She takes a deep breath in before gathering her courage. She bows to Esto slightly before moving forward and slipping into the den. She waits for her eyes to adjust before looking around, trying to take it all in at once.
