Flynn had been guiding her for some time now. After entering the area almost a week prior, Lili and her mate had camped out and let Flynn scout out the area, searching for packs--but mostly a pack that would be right for them. It had taken him two days; he'd woken Lili at dawn on the third, and started tugging and pulling her in a south-eastern direction. He was very insistant, and almost incoherent in his excitement, so Lili had gone alone; Flynn tended to peck when he was excited, and Luke was still wary of him. It came from not being able to speak to him, Lili supposed, but all the same she'd rather keep them both as comfortable as possible. That meant going without Luke.
When they came upon the pack Flynn had found, Lili felt more nervous than she was already. She'd smelled--and sensed--many wolves inhabiting the area, but had, in a miraculous stroke of luck, run into no one. It was better that way; the closer she got to the pack Flynn believed she would be happy in, the more nervous she became, until Flynn, flying ahead, had to circle back every now and then and peck at her fingers to keep them from twisting her braid nervously. It wouldn't do to look too travel-worn, would it? And pulling her braid out of its neatly woven strands wouldn't help any.
They'd come upon the fence yesterday. Lili was somewhat doubtful about living in a fenced-in area, but the herbs within, and Flynns soothing words, convinced her to give it a closer look. He lead her around the fence, to a small opening, and by that time it was nightfall. Lili hadn't wanted to disturb anyone with her call, so they retreated for the night, but now, bright and early the next morning, they stood in front of the opening, Lili once again twisting her braid nervously in her hands. Flynn twitched his head to the side, eying her fingers, before he huffed and shuffled his wings from his perch on her shoulder.
He crooned softly in low-speech, and she tilted her head, getting a vague impression of him circling over her head high enough for someone to see, and a feeling of contempt for her fear of howling for someone. Nervously, Lili made a sound half between a chirp and a whine, an agreement, and he took off, his great wings sending a gust of wind and a smell distinctly Flynn's into her face. It made her feel a little better.
Standing before the pack lands, twisting her braid and hugging herself with her elbows, Lili watched Flynn circle, and hoped someone wouldn't arrive before she got her nerves under control.
