Remus spotted Kris trying to back away from the others and grabbed her hand. "Kris, don't. Not yet, OK? When we get back, I'll help you to write a letter to Dad, asking him to meet with you again. But you can't go off by yourself. Don't you see the pack has enough to worry about without worrying where you've gone?"

Pearl caught Remus's voice and she turned to see him holding her hand, She made a sound in the back of her throat and smiled at him, nodding that he had done a good job. Kris could become quite the handful of a pup. She endeavored to talk to Zander about her rash behavior.

Zander didn't notice the exchange. He was still talking to Athena. "I think we should head straight to Chloe's," he said. "So we'll part ways when we get to town. But you can come over later with something of Coda's, and we'll head out and see if we can pick up her scent." He began walking back in the direction of Hogsmeade.

Kris glared at the ground but made no move, she didn't believe that anyone but Remus would be worried about her. Her own father hadn't even cared about her enough to write, she had been so willing to believe what he had said before but now, she wasn't even sure if she could trust him. She didn't feel like she fitted in with the pack, she didn't feel like she fitted in anywhere.

Remus gave Pearl a quick smile, then looked back at Kris. In a low voice, he whispered, "I know you're impatient. But you can't just go running off like that, OK? And I need you to stay with me. If you run off, I'll be forced to go with you. I missed out on all that time with you, and I wasn't given a choice. I'm not letting you go this time."

Athena nodded at Zander and followed behind him. "Yeah, I really need to check on Alastor, anyway. He's got a bad cold, so I told him I'd make him some chicken soup."

(OOC: In the interest of moving things along, I am going to skip ahead and get us into town, so we can get together with the rest of the pack.)
Zander led Athena and the rest of his pack out of the forest without any further incidents. He fell into silence as he walked, wondering what the rest of the pack would think when they learned of the new pup. Although he knew it didn't do any good to get bogged down in regrets, he couldn't help but feel guilty about what had happened. Greyback had never had any problems making new pups, and he didn't want to be like Greyback. He was so deep in thought that he was almost surprised when the trees began to thin out and sunlight shone more brightly through the branches. "We're almost there," he said, more for Athena's benefit than anyone else's. "Do you think you can get back from here, Athena?"

Athena nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Just take care of the rest. And I'll be over later to drop off one of Coda's sweaters." She leaned over and hugged both him and Pearl. "I'll see you later." Then she walked out of the trees and into the town. Soon she disappeared from sight.

Zander watched her go with a sigh. "All right," he said. "Let's hurry up and get to Chloe's. Um, when we get there, Pearl, can you stay with Dean? I want to explain to the others about what happened. And I imagine you might want to have a little talk with him, anyway." He knew that Pearl was the best person to provide a little guidance to the new pup.

Pearl Nodded and watched as Zander rounded up the pups leaving her with the newest edition of their pack. She took her time to take in how the pup looked, smelled and behaved. Inhaling deeply as she learned his scent, she noted that the pup was full of tension. "You were expecting something else from your birth? am I correct?" she asked stopping in front of the pup.

Dean looked at her and shrugged. "I don't know. I guess so. I kinda thought being a werewolf would be different. I mean, we're powerful creatures, that are feared by others. I don't get why we're hiding out and everything. Shouldn't we be showing people what we're made of? Zander shouldn't apologize for making me, but he seems like he's guilty or something. But isn't that what we're supposed to do?"

Pearl smiled, " We are driven, Dean, Not to be Alone. you are part of a very strong pack, we don't have the need really for more pups. You don't know nearly half of what we can do, even as we are now, you and I. We hide, because it's in our best interest to hide, most don't understand us, they fear us, so to avoid losing ourselves and our pack, we live as we must." she said begining to walk toward Chole's house slowly. "Zander is a young leader, but he's very strong," she said smiling at the thought of her strong mate " I have been a wolf for much longer...Longer than any of our pack. I am strong." she said looking at Dean through lowered lashes. "Do you understand?" she asked. If this pup was going to be straight forward or not, she would know.

"Well, if we're strong, we should show people how strong we are. Make them take use seriously," Dean said, walking next to her. "What other powers do we have? Do we have, like, supser strength or anything like that?"

"What makes you think we aren't taken seriously? If anything we are taken far to seriously, for our strength, people Fear us. We aren't beasts and we aren't monsters." she said seriously, remembering how the deatheaters, hardly smarter than some of the old pack called them dogs. she took a deep breath and asked "What do you smell Dean?"

Dean frowned. To him, it seemed that Pearl's thinking was backwards, that she felt werewolves shouldn't be feared. That they were just like anyone else. But he felt that they weren't just like everyone else, and that they should be noticed for being special, strong. If people already feared them, why not use that fear to their advantage? He forced these thoguhts from his mind and sniffed the air. "Um, pine trees. Dirt. Jasmine and lavender. And I think there's a pond nearby... I smell moss." He looked at her. "Is that it? Our great power is that we can smell really well?" He felt somewhat deflated.

Pearl laughed musically, "That's how we'll find each other most of the time, With age and time, we can smell emotions, and personal scents, that's what I was doing when I circled you and smelled you. I was learning you. You also smelled me. I know you're a little disappointed that it's the most notable part of being a wolf at the moment." she thought for a moment and grinned at him, checking the roads were clear of people, she scooped him up over her head and giggled as she set him down again. "See?"

Dean was taken by surprise by the movement and barely ven had time to fight back before he was back on the ground. "What the... how did you do that? Do we have super strength?" He looked at her again, feeling an interest in her that wasn't exactly appropriate, considering she was Zander's girl. Not that he really cared about that....

Pearl smelled his reaction to being scooped up, she laughed and shook her finger at him "Strength is something we all must work at, you however must see me as Mother, I am for lack of a better word, your mother. As Alpha of the pack Zander and I reserve the right to maintain our family, that means adding or breaking apart the group as we see fit." she said as she began to walk ahead at a steady pace. She still was missing a shoe, she'd have to find it later or get a new pair. It wasn't to wise to be losing things every moon. She sighed and turned to Dean, "It must be strange, I am Older than you, and always will be, I've been a wolf since before you could read."

"Oh, right, yeah," Dean said, flushing. Maybe there'd be another girl in the pack who would be more available. He raised an eyebrow. "So you were turned young, then, huh? Was it Greyback? I've heard of him, that he likes to attack children."

Pearl nodded, "Greyback was father, mother and leader of many many cubs, sometimes he'd turn so many, we'd lose one or two before the next moon. He was already an old leader, Zander is a born one. I was second to him alone in our pack, but even I have bested him, against my fangs, He hasn't won." she said looking fiercely at the new pup. "You'll learn your role soon enough, and you'll earn it as well." she said her gaze softening only just slightly.
