Slight pp of them reaching the caves, if that's alright :]
He didn't say anything about not accepting the rite and had followed her into the woods, two things that she took as a good sign. Naniko was always worried about the pack's defense despite their cave home after the events that had happened on the border in the past. An Inferni member had crossed their borders and had made it as far as the entrance to the cave system before they had been detected in the past. Naniko and Theodore had made quick work of the fellow, slaying him and tossing the body back over the borders, but it had still been a chilling event.
The coyote clan had raised quite a fuss over that death, that they had killed one of their clan members...but the intrusion had been taken as a threat and she felt they had handled it appropriately. More recently, a loner had been attacked by two dark creatures that had left her for dead just beyond their borderline. This had put Naniko on alert once more. She also had her litter of pups to protect, month-old children in the back room of her spacious den. Defense was always on her mind.
They were through the main entrance to the caves and walking down the hallway before she realized that she ought to answer his question - Naniko was comfortable with silence. She cleared her throat, turning her head to look back at him. "Anathema is blessed to have this cave system - it provides defense from bad weather, a cool place to live in the summer heat, and many other things. It has an underground spring for relaxation and another spring that holds cold water that we keep fish in." She said. "Our territory is not only caves, though, we have a lot of forested parts and even a stretch of beach near the ocean. It's the best of all worlds, I feel. We are not the only pack this far North...another has moved to be just above and to the West of us, I believe. So no, not too lonely"
"Be right back." The Angela stopped outside of her den, glancing back at Mido as she went out of view. He was not a pack member yet and would not be allowed inside of her den, the place where her three precious puppies slept. She entered and greeted her sister, Pontiac, before beginning to shift up into her Optime form. This took the leader a bit of time and effort, but as soon as she was finished she reached for her weapons-belt and cinched it around her waist so that she could return to Mido. Taller and larger than before, Naniko stepped back out into the hall. "This is the final part of your initiation. Please give me your paw"
