She had tried to evade the whelp, but it seemed as if her boy was following her no matter how far she strayed from the territory. Naniko looked back behind herself every few moments to check and see if the youth was still there, a dark shadow amongst the otherwise sepia canvass of trees and shrubbery that she had left behind as she'd taken leave from Anathema. Naniko had risen early and had made a loop around the territory before heading out to the lands beyond. Her son Severus had somehow managed to catch up with her somewhere between the Howling Caverns and here, though. She'd first detected him when she had crossed a small stream, having heard footsteps behind him, and had identified the boy completely when his smell had drifted to her along the breeze shortly after that. Naniko paid him no heed, though, unconcerned with the fact that her youngest son had chosen to stalk her on this day.
The female walked steadily along, nearing the borders of the new pack. She put her heavy backpack down on the ground, allowing it to flop over a bit due to its imbalance of weight. She had brought a few gifts for the members of the pack and hoped that they would appreciate them as much as she did. The Angela did not seek to offend them, but instead offer them something that they might not normally have access to...something to drink and something to smoke. She also sought to visit with Soran if she could, but wasn't sure if her mother would be out and about or even within the territory when she came to see her. As she waited at the border the tall alabaster luperci reached for a stick of rolled marijuana from her bag, setting it afire. Her child appeared from the brush to her left and leaned back against a tree, grinning at her as he panted. "Caught you, Mom." He said breathlessly. Naniko shook her head at him, walking over to bop him lightly over the head. "I knew you were there the whole time, child." She sat back to wait at the border with Severus, looking into the territory as the sun lowered a bit further in the sky.
