When Kiara strode up to Tharin, Lucia was quick to abandon her so-called father for the parental figure she had known all her life. The tiny female took refuge beside her mother and only came out long enough to greet her new Alpha. Lucia had watched her mother interact with the Alpha enough to understand the proper procedure. Kiara also returned Zalen's greeting in kind. The Alpha's enthusiasm made Kiara feel even more elated than before and her tail was wagging brightly.
Vesper's news of war and genocide completely destroyed the earlier good mood. Kaira sat solemnly as her daughter watched the proceedings from behind the safety of her mother. Truth be told, the arctic female wasn't happy to hear that Zalen had declared New Dawn and Inferni separate. She was fond of a few of the Inferni coyotes, Vesper especially. Being separate meant keeping apart from one another, a prospect she didn't like. Even so, Zalen was her new Alpha and she would have to abide by his wishes... most of the time. Kiara was not about to abandon her old friend.
At last the mood lifted a little and a toothy grin spread across the coywolf's face. The white wolf stuck her chest out with pride and stated happily, "Of course." Kiara smiled and turned around to gently nudge Lucia forward. "Go on, don't be shy." Together the mother and daughter moved forward, although Lucia was clearly reluctant to approach the stranger. "Vesper, this is my daughter Lucia." Shyly, the puppy stretched her head forward to sniff the coywolf. Her blue eyes were watchful but held a glint of curiosity.
