<333 kinda unsure of this one, kinda got rambly I think xD

Anann had never been able to see horses as a prey animal. Having seen them used in war might of had a great deal to do with that thinking. With those like Rem though, it was clear there was much more behind those deep eyes than just primal instinct. They had a great deal of understanding, bring Anann to believe the horse was able to see into the soul and see the true nature others. When unable to read someone herself, it was Rem's reactions she would go off of. Anann watched the pups and Rem quite intently. It was like looking back in time on her own childhood.

There had been word of war when Anann had first come to these lands, though it seemed it had come to an end not long after. As far as she was aware it had not had too much affect on the south and eastern packs. A warrior she might be, but she had not come here just to get tangled in another war. Such a worthless thing. It might seem hypocritical of her, seeing as she was a warrior, even regarded by some as a goddess of war. She was what she was only out of defensive necessity. There would always be those two weak or unwilling to defend themselves and so the strong would always be needed. Anann nodded as Anu brought to mention just how lucky they were. "Indeed. Such things should be celebrated." She did not mean so literally, necessarily. It was easy though, to over look the good and only take note of the bad. Anann hoped Anu's boys with grow up in the lasting presence of peace. Young lives should never have to know of such things. Crimson Dreams would surely be such a perfect haven. The more of the dreamers Anann meet the her respect for the pack grew.

Anann's mind easily got caught up in thoughts of war when the subject was brushed. Though watching Rem and the pups seemed to be the perfect remedy. The large and plump Alder scooted closer to Rem as his brothers ran up. Rem giving the pup a gentle lick with his thick, pink tongue on the top of his head. Spiking the pup's hair straight up in the air. The bobbing, tangled mane had attracted the attention of the other two pups and after some initial investigation one found the courage to set teeth to the ever-tangled mass. It was hardly a nuisance to the horse what with his thick scalp. He swayed his neck and shoulders, letting the pups pull back, growling all the while. Leaning the other way, he dragged them a short distance in an unusual game of tug and war the pups had no chance of winning. Anann couldn't help but laugh. "He has had a lot of time with little ones. He was my main caretaker at that age." There were obvious things the horse had been unable to do for Anann and her siblings. But he was the one to watch over them. Guided them and taught them much about what it was to live a good and moral life.
