Samantha was a new member, Naniko had been very kind to let her in when the borders were closed, upon that came great respect for the Angela, not just because she was leader, but because she had a kind heart. The mateship ceremony was most likely be planned soon for Rain and herself. She sat cross legged by herself, listening quietly to the sound of a crackling fire in the corner. When the woman thought about it, she actually didn't mind the dark caves of Anathema that much, they were instantly her home and she did feel very welcome. Aquamarine eyes shifted to the entrance every so often to see if someone would happen to come in and say a hello. The young woman knew that she needed to meet new members within Anathema, they were all like family weren't they? The blood shared when she joined probably belonged to many of the souls living here. They were all like blood relatives now. It had taken her a couple of days to adjust to the caves and to see the different rooms. Samantha quietly sipped tea from an old mug, conjuring up her thoughts. Hopefully no one would be prejudice and mean to her, she came from a different pack with different customs, but Sam trusted that no one would be like that.    

Samantha loved her mate very much, Rain had been very kind to let her explore his home and live with him. Gently setting the mug down, Sam sighed. The howling of wind outside the caves was close to making her ears ring, the onslaught of autumn storms were upon the world and this was no exception. Moving closer to one of the fires, Samantha wrapped her arms around herself. Her coat was thinner than most due to her lifetime of hot weather down south. Samantha wanted to be much use to the pack, but she was only skilled at a few things. Her frail petite body restricted her to healing, carving and rafting small weapons. Sam would never be a warrior. Aside from the howling wind and pounding rain, the caverns were quiet and the voices of canines seemed to be hushed. The cut from Naniko's blade when she joined Anathema was healing well and scarring over. There was no sign of infection in the thin cut, every day it reminded Samantha of how lucky she was to have such a great family. Sam added more wood to the fire quietly and poked at the hot coals, coaxing the fire back to its blazing state. Shivering slightly, Sam walked back to her den that she shared with Rain and grabbed a warm fur blanket and returned to the dining chambers. Wrapping the soft rabbit fur blanket around herself warmed her chilled bones and the shivering subsided.

Samantha was wondering where Rain was, he was not in their dem, Samantha dismissed the thought of him hurt anywhere or him gone away, maybe he was just busy from his days work. Sam had spent the day curing hides and carving into leather, some of her things that she made were donated to the pack for their uses, the Luperci woman had taken out a little time to put things in their right places. Maybe she would be of use to Anathema, only time will tell...

Comfort came immediately when Rain walked in, Sam had been worried as the storm roared on. "Well, I'm just glad that you didn't get hurt or lost." She shuffled closer, wrapping the blanket around his shoulders, sharing the blanket. She handed him te hot tea in the mug, he would have to warm up as well. Her shivering stopped as his warmth flowed into the blanket and made her warm. Being from a warmer climate for most of her life really made her feel bad now. Hopefully her fur would be thicker by winter. She rested her head on his shoulder and looked to the fire, watching the flames flicker and dart each way. "How cold does it get here in the winter?" She asked curiously. This would be her first winter in Nova Scotia and her first snow. Winters in Rio were not bad, mostly rain with lower temperatures. When her mate remarked on her being cold, she smiled and said "Yeah...I haven't really adapted yet to Canada. A lot colder here." Samantha ran fingers through her hair shyly and sat back against him.

Samantha wanted to meet more of the residents of her new home, if she was to live here, she would have to get to know everyone and treat the as family. Sam thought of the scar on her belly and how Rain accepted it and didn't cate that she failed to save lives. She was his mate and he love her and Sam would do the same. "I wonder where every one is. Really quiet tonight." She said softly and looked at the cave door. Samantha moved closer and her tongue shot out, catching him on the corner of his muzzle, a canine kiss. Soon enough they would be officially mates. Releasing Lua was hard to do but someday she would have a family with her mate and she could feel that love again. "Tell me about Germany. What was it like?" She could tell Rain about Rio after. Germany sounded like a good place to live, did he like it? The questions and wonders swirled through her mind.

The arrival of the male made Sam feel more at home and almost immediately her fluffy tail thumped on the cave floor in a friendly manner. When Rain introduced Sam and himself, she grinned as she heard him add his last name onto her first. She felt closer to Rain and the pack. "Yup that storm's a doozy! Hell, only a crazy person would want to be outside!" Sam chuckled as she spoke, she was slowly starting to feel the fire's warmth. The storm raged on while the female talked to the two. "Now may we know your name?" Sam inquired while looking at the male sitting beside them. Meeting people was fun, and much easier than making enemies. The only members within the pack that Sam knew were Naniko and Rain. It was time to meet more of the Anathema family.

Sensing Rain's silence when she asked about Germany, Sam didn't ask again, but maybe ask some other time. Sam was sad that his family died, she really would've wanted to meet Amelia.
