The young mother noticed how the epsilon looked at Lucia with a hungry eye. It was the look of a female who desired a litter of her own. When the puppies were younger, Kiara had scorned such looks. In fact, Kiara had been so protective of her puppies that she had prevented all but other puppies from entering her den. Strangers or friends, it had made no difference to the new mother. She had greedily kept her puppies to herself; and perhaps if she had done differently, Kohaku would have been safe in New Dawn as well.
Rather than scorn Ciara's desires or fight them, Kiara simply ignored the look. It was one she had once held and Lucia was old enough to interact freely with the older wolves. Ciara, if anything, would be extremely cautious around Lucia if she was anything like the arctic female. True as any wolf, the epsilon laid down on the grass and relaxed and watched the puppy with a kind intensity. Kiara moved to the side, completely revealing the tiny female who looked about in confusion. Kiara took Ciara's lead and settled into the grass herself. Lucia quickly followed her mother's example, but stuck close to the white wolf's side. "I originally came from the arctic, but I had joined Ichika no Ho-en at the beginning of the last fall." Kiara turned her sapphire eyes to her daughter and asked gently, "Where was Ichika?" Lucia tipped her head to the side as she tried to remember the words. At last they came to her and she piped, "Forest!" Kiara nodded approvingly and Lucia's tiny tail began to wag excitedly.
Ciara's mention of the water was a little confusing, even for the arctic wolf. She had heard several canines mention that they came from across the ocean, but Kiara had no idea where they would have originated or how they came to Nova Scotia. Kiara had never seen a boat before and knew almost nothing of europe. She had heard that the places across the ocean were supposedly more "civilized," but what that meant was lost of the uninfected female. Lucia, who was feeling a little braver asked, "How you do that?"
