Chapter 70
By the time Doc and Hui’Jin finished their talk about medicine, it was lunch time and the pack was pouring into the dining hall. I’d like to say they were welcoming me back from my work away, but in all honesty, I think everyone was more excited to meet with Hui’Jin.
The kids table where she sat with her new friends was surrounded by adults, everyone with questions she was more than happy to answer. I should have tried harder to convince Lala to come along, she’d love it in the pack house, always filled with people and busy.
Hui’Jin is happy to answer most of the questions, sitting at the table waiting on lunch to be served, with her wings wrapped around a pair of pre teen Lycan girls who have decided they must keep all the boy cooties away from their new friend.
The hubbub doesn’t die down until the trays of food reach the tables, everyone moving the conversations back to their seats.
I stand up, grabbing everyone’s attention.
"I know we’re all excited to have someone new in the pack. Goddess knows that doesn’t happen often" Everyone laughs at just how true that is. Petros doesn’t even like hosting meetings, preferring to meet at the other pack instead.
"But never fear, we’ll be here for at least a week, possibly two if nothing drastic happens" There’s a moment of silence as everyone contemplates the happenings of the last month. The Pack survived better than most, being largely self sufficient to start with, but they’re not so isolated as to be unaware, especially with the danger of portals opening near pack grounds.
"Now, I’ve got to run a quick errand for the Alpha starting after lunch, so I’ll be away, but feel free to talk to Hui’Jin about anything you like. If you can drag her away from playing with the pups that is."
Everyone laughs and shouts greetings to the youth table, wishing her the best for her stay here at the Blood Claw Pack.
