The small tawny pup was along for the ride. She had no idea where she was being taken and actually dozed off a couple of times while being carried. The rocking motion with each step that Delya took, one couldn't help but fall asleep at least once. When she had finally awoken, everything had changed. There were so many tall trees and rolling hills. Babbling brooks and birds singing. It was entirely different than the rocky landscape of the craggs where she was born and found at. And there were so many different scents that lingered in the air, her nose was on overdrive.

Delya brings her to the mouth of a den and calls into it. “Aunt Alice, can I come in?... and places the pup at her feet. "I found her, she was abandoned, I couldn't just… just leave her there.” The tawny girl looks up at Delya at the mention of herself and her tail wags momentarily when Delya presses her nose to her shoulders. The word abandoned though was a strange one and wrenches at her tiny heart for a moment. What did Delya mean by that? But of course, this was only a fleeting thought and her mind was already onto something new.

A male seems to remain close to the entrance of the den. He's got striking pink eyes set against a dark coat. The girl shy's back though instinctively when she senses Delya's own hesitation. "You may let her in, Seamus" a voice calls out from within the den and she perks her tiny ears up as she tilts her head off to the side. As Alice was trying to get a look at her, she was trying to get a look at Alice. Then she feels Delya push against her rump with her large paws and ushers her into the cave.

Her blue grey eyes adjust slowly to the dimmer light inside. A grey female lay with two newborn pups. One clearly smaller than the other. And one with long legs, much like herself. She looks to Alice for a moment but remains rather close to Delya's feet. The girl was still unsure of all the sudden changes and was trying to process everything. Piece together names with a face. Figure out her new location. Her new family. That's it. This was her new family. Here within this den with all these wolves. She would grow up never realizing she was any different than the two newborns. That she was an orphan. She would only ever know them all as her family.
