Cerci's soft, old, eyes blinked open slowly. The elderly wolf lay in a pile of feathers and dead grass inside the camp, rolling to her back and stretching before falling to the side and getting to her paws. With a shaky stretch of her legs and a wide yawn she was on her feet and walking around. With a grayed muzzle and weak eyes she made her way around using her ears, though they were starting to fail her as well, and her nose. Asher had just returned, Sim had just awoken and emerged from a den, others moved around freely. With a huff the elder and oldest omega sat down, tail flicking irritated along the ground. "What kind of treatment is this? Up for more than a few minutes and no pup offering me breakfast." She spoke aloud, mostly to herself, like she always did. "I may be mean but a lady of my age should be well taken care of." Cerci muttered darkly, hunching her shoulders as she stood, padding off to find a pup to torment.
The bitter she-wolf passed LifeSimmer and Thorn, cloudy eyes narrowed as she folded her ears back, upper lip twitching in a sneer, a growl rumbling from the back of her throat. She had learned quickly to trust no one, not even the ditsy females, they'd turn around and bite you in the rump just as fast as an angered male. Padding away quickly she let out a startled yelp as she came nose to nose with a gray and brown she-wolf. "Orion, you startled the Gods out of me." The omega scolded darkly. The young pup's ears went up, tail wagging behind her, cold nose touching Cerci's again in greeting. The old wolf rolled her eyes with a woof and kept on walking, knowing the pup would follow obediently. "Don't you have somebody else to bother?" The elderly she-wolf complained as she stopped in the middle of the camp, summing up what was left of her strength to dig a small and shallow hole in the moist dirt. Sighing contently she closed her eyes, waiting for Orion to speak.

Sighing contently she closed her eyes, waiting for Orion to speak.
"Grandma!" Orion exclaimed as the old she-wolf had bumped into her, waggling her hindquarters and bounding along beside her. The pup sat down as the older she-wolf dug herself out a spot in the middle of camp, waiting for her to be comfortable before also laying down. The young wolf had been cooped up in camp since yesterday and there weren't many pups her age to play with. A small growl curled from her throat as she grabbed the Omega's ear in-between her teeth, giving a soft tug, trying to get the elder to play.
"Not now child!" The she-wolf snarled, lifting her head to free her ear from the pup's grasp. Orion laid her ears back and placed her head on the ground, whimpering softly as her tag slowly started to wag. She tensed and pounced, tackling the omega and taking hold of her ear again. "Gotcha!" The she-wolf growled as she wrestled. Cerci was in no mood to play though and quickly got up, shaking off her granddaughter. "I said not now! Sod off you overgrown pup!" Cerci snarled, snorting as she settled back down in her shallow hole.
Orion shook out her fur, ears burning hot with embarrassment as she trotted away, mumbling under her breath as she went. Perking her ears she spotted LifeSimmer and Thorn, padding over quickly. "Good morning! Any news from the patrol?" The future caretaker asked curiously. Her father, Asher, had returned not to long ago with his patrol, having gone straight to the Alpha to report his findings. Orion wanted to know what had happened along the north border, what better way to find out then from these two?
