For awhile she had been promising her son an extended trip. One away from Anathema. The boy was curious and he wanted to know what else was out there in the world. The above ground area of Anathema had pretty much been thoroughly explored since Sele had yet to venture away from the claimed territory yet. She knew that she would eventually have to in order to complete her task within the pack. So under her son's persistent begging she finally gave in and decided to head away from Anathema. She figured that she might be able to mix a bit of business with pleasure. She could go out and do her job, see what packs were about, as well as taking Juju out.
She roused the pup, waking him to leave with her. He had just turned three months old so she figured that he could make the travel with her. After all he had made the trip from New Brunswick to where the pack was located so she figured that he could easily walk over the lands of Nova Scotia. Juju eagerly got up and left the cave, having to continuously look back and make sure that his mother was keeping up with him. He was eager to go, eager to get away from the pack for awhile. To get his first chance to go out and explore other places. To see some faces besides those that lived in the cave system of the pack or the prey animals that were eaten. Maybe there would even be others his age to play with. Of course he also had Scorpius for that too. But what if he found another then both him and his cousin would have a new friend to play with.
"Pace yourself Juju." She called after the child with a chuckle. "It is not going anywhere and you are just going to tire yourself out if you keep that up." And that really wouldn't be good since Sele walked on her hands and would be unable to carry him easily. She hadn't mastered walking upright on her feet so it wasn't like she could just switch to walking upright and picking him up to carry him. She got a sensation akin to vertigo when she stood up and just couldn't stay on her feet. She would always topple over. Since she was traveling alone, just her and the pup, she really didn't need him to exhaust himself before they even got started.
The trip was a long one and she was glad that she had gotten an early start. Eventually though she reached the borders of a pack. She hadn't really been looking for this pack in particular but had actually been heading to the city that her sister had told her about to pick up some stuff for the den and things for Juju to occupy himself with. She had stumbled upon the pack by accident actually. Though she figured that she could head over into the city before heading back to Anathema. After all she had been considering doing her job lately and starting some relations in other packs. This was an opportunity to do that. An opportunity to show her sister that she wasn't useless.
The young boy was about to amble on forwards but Sele stopped him and called him back. "You can't just walk in there Juju. We have to sit and wait to be invited." She explained to the youth that was eager to meet some new faces. And of course in his eagerness he started yipping loudly to try and attract attention. All Sele could do was laugh and shake her head. "What are you doing?" She asked him only to receive the explanation that he was trying to make someone hurry up and come. "You can't do that. It might not be liked." The patient explanation was given as she placed her feet down so that she could sit on her knees and wait. She reached out to pick up the pup and place him on her lap to wait with her in order to make sure that he didn't run off. Of course Juju struggled to get away since he didn't want to just sit still and wait. He wanted to make something happen.
