The clothing was appreciated, though as she nosed through the garments she just shook her head before she shifted back to her human form. When one lived so close with others and in such conditions they would begin to forget the social rules of their human lives. Such things as being naked in front of one another became the norm, especially if you happened to have a rough shift and end up ruining whatever bit of clothing had been on their person.<br/><br/>Being naked became the norm.<br/><br/>So, it was without much thought or consideration that Aidan shifted and then stripped out of her wet clothing to change into the dry pile that Thomas had left for her. “Really? What was on top?” she smirked as she dressed. “Let’s see, a bra, a t-shirt and a thong…” she<span style="font-style: italic">tsked</span>through her teeth and slipped on the thong. “I think the Heat is starting to affect someone…” she teased him in passing on her way into the cave though she could hear Thomas doing his best to get everyone laughing. At her hearth she began to rummage about her area for some pants to wear, and then got a thought which caused her to look over at Thomas’s area. The look that came across her face then could only be described as one of mischief, as she snuck over to his area and grabbed up a pair of his pants to put on.<br/><br/>She had just adjusted them to fit her waist when she saw him and another of their pack run off to meet Eryan. Honestly, she did not envy that welcoming party at all. To be the one to tell Eryan that nearly their entire pack was slaughtered, that Sherman and the others died due to a betrayal of one of their own. She would rather hang back and deal with the getting the meal ready.<br/><br/>“Alright, we need two others to do a quick run of our territory perimeter to make sure everything is still secure,” she looked between those left.  “Looking for speed and ninja like qualities, so maybe the vegetarian would like to go with someone and do the sweep?” she asked with a wink at Eilidh. “Maybe you Cade? We just need you guys to do a quick run and check, before you head right back here. Understand?”<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Thomas was right, simple as that. Darksky, heard the howl as clear as day. Heard the alert and knew that another of their females had returned to the pack.<br/><br/>“That sounds like Eryan,” Aderol spoke from where he lounged against the wall of their cave. “She had left to go and visit her human family, something about her father being sick,” he elaborated further as if up until this point he had forgotten this bit of information.<br/><br/>“So, does this mean she still thinks you are one of them?” Darksky’s voice came out as a deep rumble nearly a growl.<br/><br/>“That would be an affirmative,” he said with a knowing smile and humor that twinkled in his eyes.<br/><br/>“Then maybe you should go and welcome her home? I am sure she would love to see a familiar face…” the amusement not lost on the other male who stood and scooped up his Stetson to place on his head.<br/><br/>“I reckon the little lady would like to see her last tryst? No?” he chuckled and departed the cave without much more ado. By his third step he is in his large wolf form and running double time to beat the Shadows to Eryan. What he would do once he got there, he is not sure yet, but Aderol was never one for plans. At least not unless it meant stabbing a certain Alpha in the back.
