Even though Natu did not know every wolf in Spirane she had a good idea of who each wolf was. For instance take Haven. She knew the girl was sister to Daenery's despite the fact that Haven did not seem to act anything like her older sister. Yet this was all from observing from Natu's constant perch up high on the mountain. She enjoyed the thrill of the cold air cutting through her winter fur, slipping between each fiber like the warm caress of a lover. Instead of heating her skin it cooled her but Natu was fine with that. So many days she'd climb the same trail that she had with Raven, the one that held a hidden oasis to the traveler of the winter. It was steep and every time her legs protested the exertion, screaming and warm, and she pressed onward as her heart would settle into the rhythm. It was lovely there. The ice cold water hidden beneath a thin layer of ice and the view.. there was nothing in the whole of Molodian that could outrank the view of her outcropping.

Alas, today she was not upon her outcropping nor in her snug den napping away the day. Instead Natu had taken it upon herself to scout around Spirane and look into the newer additions in Spirane. It was a clandestine job, not one Dany had ever given her but one Natu felt necessary nonetheless. The children here in Spirane must remain safe as well as the adults - they couldn't let one wolf slip in with bad intentions.

It was unlikely that such things would ever truly happen yet that is what she was here for. Maybe it wasn't declared in her job title yet Natu felt a responsibility. Still, her peace is shattered this day and it leaves her on edge with a distinctive unsettled feeling. She had overheard today, finally, the whispers coming from Iromar. They had recently aligned themselves with Iromar and she had been so blinded by her own movements in life - her promotion and now her new mate - that she had not been paying attention.

Lillith was dead.

The bitch had gone and gotten herself killed and Natu hated her for it because in a way she had wanted to rip her from limb to limb. That feeling had eased when her own son, Sven, had forgiven her from stealing him from another family - all done from blackouts caused by an attack from Lillith. It had been a desperate time in Natu's life but Daenery's forgave her for such misdeeds, misdeeds that Natu could never recollect. Yet she had always harbored a vicious hatred of the Iromar Queen and now... now she could not collect the debt that Lillith owed her. But she also felt relieved for the female could no longer take and harm so many lives.

It is as she walks in a daze of emotions that she catches sight of the young male, a newcomer to the lands, and his quarry. Natu becomes still and silent as a shadow although her blazing white fur does not help concealment. Yet the boy seems more interested in the squirrel who seems to taunt him with it's presence. She watches with hooded eyes until he lunges, tumbling over himself with those long legs and lack of grace, and Natu cannot contain a smile, amused by his antics; as he disappears through the brush she trots after him only increasing her pace when she hears the sound of another voice. Haven perhaps? Natu is, after all, Spider, and as such has overheard many conversations and voices.

It is her need to protect that has her bursting out of the bushes to watch Hollowpoint go tumbling straight at Haven. "WATCH OUT!" She yells, her normally calming dulcet voice austere and loud, tail erect and stiff as she stares with wide eyes at the impending calamity.
