"Don't worry about it, Eclipse," she answered truthfully, hoping to ease the girl's discomfort. She had nothing against Saul's pseudo-daughter nor her friend from Cercatori D'Arte. Knowing Colibri and her nieces were somewhere out there, in a house that possible would not be strong enough to withstand high winds, was a horrible experience in itself. And perhaps she was unknowingly taking it out on their guests. Relief replaced anxiety when her sister burst through the front door, soaking wet and carrying a basket holding her three daughters. A smile threatened to break her concerned facade but Colibri's revelation overshadowed whatever joy she might've felt at that very moment. They hadn't sent anyone out to help the new mother and one of her nieces had paid the price of their negligence.

More people flooded in; Nier and his pregnant mate, Grace. She recognized the permanent scowl on her face and she wasn't bothered by it. The murmurs exchanged between Saul and the father-to-be piqued her curiosity, causing her brows to knit into a tight frown. Eventually, Nier left the D'Angelo female and their menagerie behind, leaving Saul struggling to find a place for her; inadvertently revealing the nature of their conversation. Her mediterranean blue irises turned away from Grace's grimaces, ignoring her temper for the most part. Two other wolves had entered their home around the same time; a male carrying what appeared to be his drenched mate. It was her first time seeing those two.

They all settled in; Eclipse and Colibri striking up a conversation following the introduction of her sibling's three daughters. Lilin smiled in reply, a silent approval before interjecting with her mate's name. "Saul," she pleaded, pointing to all three of her nieces with the tip of her nose, urging him on. She tried to listen in as Colibri explained how Florina had taken a tumble outside and how she'd reacted, catching bits and pieces of their conversation. While the puppy seemed to be alright at first glance, she too looked up at Saul for confirmation.
