Nychta looked at him. Something didn't add up, it just didn't make sense.She stood over the pup protectively, acting like how a concerned mother would in this situation. 'That trail of blood you're leaking says otherwise.' she stated sternly. She looked at Cassius and back at the wolf. In case of trouble Cassius could easily take him out, that was sure. Still, this pup was here now too and she didn't want to endanger her. 'You may stay in the entrance of the cave.' she decided. 'You're not allowed to go in further. Try something towards me....' she paused a bit embarrassed before continuing. '... my mate, or my pup and I'll take you out in the blink of an eye.' she said harshly. 'Understood?'Menuo glanced at Mike as he moved next to her and started speaking to her. She was happy her undead guard was still between them, by her side. 'Look, I'm not doing this just for some friendly chitchat. As soon as I find my siblings, I'll be gone and I don't trust you two, so let's keep it that way.' she said distantly.'I'm not scared and I'm not in need of protection either. I can fend for myself if I have to. This little trick...' she gestured at her guards. 'Is just the tip of the iceberg.' she said.She paused a bit, looking at the ground in front of her. 'My Mistress called me Menuo. That is my name.' she stated in an attempt to stay at least a tiny bit friendly.
Cassius was surprised at how orderly she had gotten toward the male wolf, it was admirable to command someone she didn't know in such a way. He blushed slightly at Nychta's words but gave a convincing glare toward the male.
Katan continued to lead the two wolves upstream, they were bound to find a cave of some sort this way. He did his best to not listen to the wolves that had their conversation, he was a little surprised at the fact that she gave her name. He wasn't giving his, not until he was a bit more acquainted with them. He heard a low growl which caused him to turn his head. A large bear stormed out of the forest and in front of them, Katan snarled defensively before moving out of the way, firing steel spikes at the bear, two missing and the other two landing in its back

Zariana was surprised when a pair of wolves had come up behind her as she was resting, and had asked her where she had come from. At first, Zariana was a bit scared, but when she heard the female wolf's soft, motherly tone, her fears lessened a bit. She was about to reply to the pair of wolves, saying that she was sorry for coming into their cave, when a third wolf came from outside. She was a little more scared than before, and started to listen to the conversation going on between the three wolves. Zariana was almost in tears, thinking about her mother like that was saddening.Zariana continued to stay quiet during the trio's conversation, noting that the third wolf appeared to be injured. The two other wolves kept insisting that Zariana was their cub, and only when the third wolf walked to edge of the cave did the pup consider speaking. Zariana looked up to the two wolves that were treating her like their daughter with slightly sad eyes, and whispered, "W-why would you say that you were my parents? Y-you're not. N-Nobody is." The pup looked to the ground. "Not anymore." She started to whimper a bit.
Cassius heard the pup speak and now he felt a little bad but he had to for her sake. He looked to Nychta as she spoke to the young one, explaining their reasoning, he hoped she would play along. Cassius stood next to the pup, ready to follow her whenever she began to follow Nychta. He was sure that she'd like the nursery area but taking her into the resting area would be good for her. He'd also need to get her some food, he was never good at hunting tinier animals.
