"Oh, I know how tiring the snow can be, really. Even for those of us that live in it day to day, when it falls fresh and thick on the ground, digging a path through it can be exhausting. If you're not used to it, it can drain your energy pretty quickly. That's why I like to keep empty dens, for guests and those that are new to the pride, until they settle in."
She smiled warmly and led the way toward the royal dens. There was a set of dens that were meant for temporary homes, either for special guests or, like she said, visitors and new members without a den. She did not mind having strangers close to her den, though she heard from many of her close guards that it could be a bad idea.
Elsa felt trust was important. And a good foundation for new members to join under. They should know what kind of a pride this was, and that they were welcome. Even those that did not stay.
"Here we are. You can pick any of these dens here. My den is down that way, where the rocks rise up. It's a bit busy in there these days, though," she laughed sheepishly. She had a whole litter of cubs keeping her company, after all. "But you are welcome to visit once you're rested!"
