Fiadh knows theres a pack here.

She hasn't quite met them, but they've probably scented her going back and forth on her adventures, at the tourney...the only problem was she wasn't sure if they'd be willing to let them stay until the lake was safe again. Until the pups are born, she's a mouth to feed, even with her two lanky shadows with her to pick up the slack until she's been freed.

The pups too, mouths to feed, bodies to protect.

She's....pretty sure just her and Dimitri could do this alone, but Spider came along too claiming they'd need an extra paw. Fiadh was glad for it, because at least one of them had experience with this, given Valeska and Amaranth had decided to go down with the ship. No, this wasn't going to be worse with none of their families around, shut up.

Once they were close enough, Fiadh threw her head back and howled.
