She did not know what drove canines to leave their packs. Some dissatisfaction with the way that things were run, some notion that they could do a better job than their leaders? Sirius and Eris had left Anathema and gone to create their own pack, and Naniko held no grudge against them. She was proud that her adopted child had gone on to do great things; it meant that she had taught him well in the time that he had spent with her. She didn't take all the credit for it, of course, but it gave her a reason to be proud of the boy and all of his accomplishments.
The sight of Jazper surprised the Angela, but did not completely shock her. She had wondered what the old members of Crimson Dreams were doing from time to time, but had not gone to see them - she had assumed that no one had come up to see her due to her past, and did not feel any remorse for that. When one or another did come up, she was always glad to see them despite the things that had happened before. If they wanted to put things behind them, then she would as well. The only real irritation that she held any more was for the leaders there, the ones who had kicked her out. But even then, she knew that if they had not done that then she would not have Anathema today. A place where she could do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted it. A pack where her members were loyal to her and respected her.
"Wha...I didn't know you were still around these parts" She called as she padded toward him. Naniko had not seen him in some time, and some things were certainly different about the male...but other things remained the same. His voice was what had done it to begin with, the soft accent that she could place anywhere. "What brought you all the way out here?" The fact that he didn't smell like Crimson Dreams told her one thing, but it still left plenty of mystery.
