Throughout the whole ordeal, Emma didn't know what to think. She had not expected to be dropped off at a pack like this despite the signs. She was too young to put the pieces together to figure it out and her blue eyes widened with surprise. She temporarily forgot about her piece of jerky and scooted closer to her sister in fear of being left alone in a pack. How were they supposed to find their father now? Her eyes closed and she buried her face into the fur of her sister and remained quiet, simply listening to the words that made no sense to her anymore.
Zaramama did not turn to look at the children. When the wolf said he would take them, she smiled and nodded and felt they would be safe. "From South a'here," she said and shrugged a little, unable to give more details. "They be walking this way and following a'scent. Guess it was his," she said and sniffed the air to see if it were around and it was, but vague, and she glanced back at the one who had been able to follow it after all. She frowned when the puppies were huddled together. Assuming there were no more questions, the coyote knelt down and put a thin hand on the children, softly stroking them for comfort. "It will be good, childs. They will take care of ya better'n'me and they will find ya papa," she cooed, smiling, and Emma simply looked up to meet her face.
He expression did not change but her tail thumped. The elderly woman smiled and licked both of them on the head. After she pulled back, her bag swung around and she pulled out the dried deer meat wrapped in a large leaf, carefully handing it over to Hemming. "They like this," she pulled back after handing it over and smiled with half a heart at the children again. They would be safe here. "They will help," she said with an assuring nod and looked toward. "My name is Zaramama, by the way; they are Emma," she said and pointed out the appropriate puppy, "and Godeh-lieve. Eve," she added with difficulty of the proper name and pointed the second child out. "Do ya need anythin' else before Ah go?"
