They are all exhausted and the only good thing to come of it she thinks with a wry sense of humor is that Ankh would soon be asleep in a new den and quiet for a while. It was perhaps unkind to think such things yet Natu's nerves had stretched taut with the changing of homes, the loss of her son, and so much strangeness around them. Sometimes she secretly wondered if her life was cursed and then she looked at the dark pelt of her mate as he slept next to her at night and the growing figures of her children and her heart softened once more and then hardened with resolve. She would cherish her children and protect them, even the ones who did not wish for her protection. Alistair enjoys her administrations and she loves doting upon her children, enjoys sucking in their earthy scents and tasting the flavors of her children to find her heart squeeze with love.

The king of the pack comes trotting out rather quickly to her summons and there is a gentleness that is obvious the moment she sees him; it is not the kind of gentleness to be mistaken for weakness. It is the kind of gentleness that a leader should always contain and she sighs silently into the air as he comes to stand before them. "Greetings Coza," she murmurs in a tired, fervid voice as her pale blue eyes dance to the arriving figure of the aged female. It is clear she is the mate of the leader and Natu thinks, with a twinge in her stomach, the female is not long for this world. In turn her thoughts shift to Heyel and how she had not seen him in quite some time and she wonders now how he moves. Does he still twist with the doves, as agile as a pup?

"I am Natu and this is Ankh, Alexander, and Alistair. My mate, Fenrir, will be about shortly if that is acceptable and I have another son..." she begins to say, her voice suddenly breaking in weariness. "I will retrieve him soon," she whispers and there is concern in her voice. Yet her ears prick forward once more as he mentions taking them to a place to rest and she smiles at him and Moth kindly. "That would be very welcome indeed. I am thankful for your kindness and have heard much about you. I wonder, perhaps, when I am rested, if I can be of use to you in your pack. I have much to learn still."

She leans her maw down to nudge at Ankh who had begun to doze. The girl jolted awake and to her feet before lumbering forward in a haze as Natu leans over and nudges Alistair and Alexander too. "Come, loves," she murmurs soothingly to them and moves towards Coza, intending to follow him to the resting area.
