The wind shifted, and Sonora's nose twitched as a new scent wafted towards her. Wary, she lifted her head, water dripping from her muzzle, just as the cub stumbled free of the trees on the other side of the river. Stiffening in surprise, Sonora whined anxiously for a moment or two, her eyes darting to the shadows on either side of the boy cub and waiting for an adult to emerge along with him. When none came, however, she turned her gaze to the young one, who was regarding her with curiosity, but none of the wariness he should have displayed when confronted with a stranger.<br/><br/>Another soft whine sounded in her throat, and she started to back away from the cub. If Grayson discovered her this close to the little one after making her promise to stay away...well. She could only imagine what he would do then. But what was she to do? She couldn't just leave the cub out here by himself, what if something happened to him? With a sigh and a flash of light, Sonora shifted back into her human form crouching on the balls of her feet to cover herself with her hair and her knees, which were drawn up towards her chest. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?" She asked over the sound of the water, a frown on her face. "You should not be here. Go home, little one. I am sure your parents will be looking for you."<br/><br/>And wouldn't<em>that</em>just put her in a dilemma and a half. Especially if someone other than Grayson found them, or scented her near the cub before Grayson had a chance to pass on his ruling to the rest of the pack. She would likely be dead before she could shift form, and then it would all be pointless. Sonora waited, studying the cub and wondering how long this staring contest was going to go on for before he listened to her. There were other ways of sending him away, but Sonora was reluctant to scare him off by threatening violence. She had a feeling that would be even worse than what they were doing now.
