As soon as she reached Tharin's side, he nuzzled her gently, trying to reassure her. The female's instincts were going wild and screaming at her to run, to take cover. Something big was approaching, and it was bound to be as bad as a mid-blizzard avalanche. Kiara's ears flicked back and she buried her head into Tharin's shoulder, breathing in his scent and strength. Reinvigorated, Kiara looked to Jiva for instructions, her sapphire orbs blazing with stoic concentration. Her eyes traveled over the group, noticing the prodigiously pregnant Fayne and Drin. Kiara smiled at Drin, her friend and ally since before she had joined New Dawn. The fox kit at her feet however, got a curious look. It was a young thing, and followed Drin as if she were it's mother. Kiara tilted her head, noticing the oddity. However, curiosity was all she felt. There was no sense of harsh judgement in her gaze, just a couple questions and the desire to get a closer look at the kit.
Jiva's instructions snapped Kiara back to the task at hand. She nodded and gave an affirmative woof before joining Lena in digging. Her paws eagerly scratched at the earth, large claws and tough pads racking at the earth. Digging she could do. For a moment, Kiara forgot her task, digging too deep and ignoring the length that she needed to go. However, one quick glance up and the arctic female was able to recover. She worked diligently, despite the mounting anxiety that grew in the pit of her stomach. The storm was approaching and would soon be on them. Kiara continued to dig, her paws moving quickly and efficiently. She had gotten plenty of practice during the spring after all.
