Xeris raised her muzzle to look up at the sky. It was cloudy. She hoped it wouldn't rain; not on this beautiful day. At the moment, the scarred white wolfess was heading back to her cabin for some rest. With spring came warmer weather and more pleasant conditions; thus, the children had been constantly wanting to run around outside, and of course she was not going to let them do that alone if at all possible, despite Delwyn's constant wandering off. Today, she had awoken to find Xion the only other member of her family in their home, and assumed that the other two were off with their father. Thus, Xeris and her daughter had been out for a pleasant walk.
Her golden eyes watched carefully to keep track of Xion, who was bounding ahead of her, pouncing on insects and playing with flower petals and that sort of thing. In fact, she was so busy watching her daughter that she almost didn't notice the unfamiliar wolfess standing near the lake. "Mama?" asked Xion, turning to her mother questioningly, "Who is that?" For a moment Xeris had no idea what the little one was talking about, but before long she spotted the stranger nearby. Curious as always, she decided to introduce herself.
"Hello there," Xeris said upon reaching hearing distance of the newcomer. "You must be new here. It's always nice to see someone new. Welcome to Phoenix Valley."
