Scarlett could feel the warmth of the pack bond humming within her, stronger now that the distance between them was gone. Of course it had been hard to leave them to go on this trip, but part of her would never truly be satisfied unless she did. The loss and longing to travel and melded together until finally she succumbed to the call and knew that the best way for her to truly be at peace was to go. It seems she had truly missed a lot in her time away, with the arrival of Malia. The blonde was sure they probably would have started out on a better note if this was not how they were meeting, but surely in time that frosty outer layer would melt away and they would be family; Scarlett was never one to give up on anyone, even if she had to bite her tongue a few times by the rather gruff greeting she received. One by one everyone filed into the room, including the stranger, and she found herself beaming at the life in the room. It was such a nice feeling to have so many friendly faces around, if she were in her canine form her tail would surely be wagging a mile a minute and perhaps knocking several things off where they were placed, much to Frost's dislike of this particular habit of hers; she was incredibly clumsy and often times things of her alpha's tended to pay the price. She was glad however that the introduction with Malia went smoothly enough, mostly with the help of Frost to describe both girls a little and perhaps spur some interest in the other. She smiled as she noticed the brunette woman take a particular interest in the mention of her power, much as their alpha had predicted. "I can show you whenever you'd like if that's something you would be interested in," the blonde woman said, offering up perhaps something for them to start getting to know each other over.

Emerald eyes watched in amusement as the stranger in the room was addressed then. She seemed quiet shy, and Scarlett was certain that this many people was sensory overload for the poor girl who looked like she wanted to simply bolt from the room. Her red hair truly was stunning, and Scar couldn't help the light laughter that left her lips as Frost likened her to a viking, much to the girl's distaste. She listened in enjoyment at the banter between the coyote and stallion, finding both were keen to take a jab at the other when the opportunity arose. Quickly though her attention was taken away to hang out presents before there was an actual viking raid in the house in the way of the twins stealing presents. The wolf had taken care to give everyone well thought of presents, though for Malia it was hard since she had never met the other woman but she hoped she would at least enjoy the sweets. After all, who didn't like sweets? "Don't worry, it's just bubbles and if they make a mess i'll clean it up," she assured Frost in case the twins ever did bring the bubble guns inside near his furniture. Bubbles wouldn't do much harm and the wolf was already accustomed to cleaning up her own messes. When she handed her gifts to Malia she wasn't sure the reaction she was going to get, but it seemed like both her and the unplanned stranger were at least pleased with the sweets. "I wasn't really sure what to get you, so you won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it or don't want to wear it," she said, a genuine smile upon her lips as she addressed the other canine. She was sure Malia cared little for her feelings in the first place, but at least now it was known if she never wanted to wear it because she thought it was ugly or necklaces just weren't her thing then she could never wear it or give it away if she truly wanted to. Once she was sure everyone was tended to did she settle down for story time.

It was definitely a long winded tale as she went over in minimal detail each place she visited, what she had done, and her thoughts on the place. The Werewolf had definitely left her comfort zone in some of the places she had visited. New York was not a place she would find herself visiting again without very good reason, but most of the other places were nice enough that she wouldn't mind going again and some she definitely would love to revisit. She perked up after finishing her tale when Frost inquired about the very nature of the museums she had visited in DC. "There are many Smithsonian museums close enough to walk to, but I went to the air and space, natural history, and american history museums. The air and space museum had a lot of old planes and space ships. The American history museum covered most everything in American history. But I think the Natural history museum was my favorite, there were huge dinosaur fossils and various gems and jewels like the supposedly cursed hope diamond," she explained, having found museums to be quite interesting rather than boring like she assumed and something she was definitely willing to visit more often. The blonde woman was glad however that her suggestion of a pack vacation seemed to go over well, Frost allowing the group to come up with some suggestions. Scarlett immediately could think of several more places that would be fun to visit, but she was also more inclined to see what everyone else could come up with since she herself had already gotten to travel.

Emerald eyes watched in curiosity as Izzy suddenly approached Abigail and began asking question. The red head seemed entirely uncomfortable, almost a panicked look in her eyes by the mere close proximity of the child and the sudden question. It seemed something about Izzy frightened her. Frost however was quick to act on it, quickly answering the young child's question and drawing her attention back to Scarlett before the newcomer was scared away. The wolf smiled warmly as the young girl made her way back over to her."What wonderful name have you come up with? she inquired, knowing the young girl would certainly have come up with something and be very excited to share. "It's very cute, just like you," she said smiling, gently booping the young girl on the nose with the compliment in an attempt to make her laugh at the silly gesture. "Did you come up with a name too Micah?" she asked quietly to the younger boy while Frost continued to speak, noting her alphas words while not wanting to leave the more quiet of the twins out. She knew he was probably a little overwhelmed by all the people in the room like Abigail was and wanted to make sure he was comfortable too. The blonde woman's attention however perked when Frost addressed her once more, asking if she had eaten. "I have not. I think it would be most wonderful to have a meal together," she said with a bright smile, including Abigail in that statement if she was willing to hang with all these scary, crazy predators.
