[Neela Garcia]

Neela’s tail wagged as the pup was lowered down for her to have a look at. Just as she’d thought from a distance, the puppy was small, shaded brown and cute as a button. Neela leaned in as close as she dared, sniffing gently at the pup before her tongue flashed out, laying a feather light lick onto Amatha’s nose. ”Hello there Amatha.” she said gently. An old memory flickered into Neela’s mind, good luck charms nearly forgotten, relics of a place she no longer called home. ”May Mother Moon watch over you, Gran Azul stay his distance and Sol brighten your days little one.” she recited, licking Amatha thrice on the brow, once for each name mentioned. ”Pueden los ángeles te cuide mientras nada y las estrellas que guían verdadero hogar.”

That done she backed off respectfully, tilting her head upwards to look at Hadley and Isa again, ”Wishes of good luck from a place far away, for what they’re worth.” she explained, before lowering her head, an odd sense of melancholy coming over her as she thought of her old home.

The sense of disquiet was broken somewhat by Jazper’s arrival. If nothing else the Alpha’s excitable manner was amusing, making Neela giggle as he stood there fidgeting like a yearling. She gazed up as Isa offered Amatha to Jazper to hold, feeling a slight sense of jealousy that her Lupus form didn’t allow her the same privilege even if it had been offered. Still, her own pups would be here before too long, and then she would have plenty of furry bodied to hold and cuddle, judging by the size of her stomach.
