A bit sleepy still, Isaac waited patiently for her to walk over and accepted the bottles given to him. The girl pup that seemed quite attached to him stayed, but he had to nudge back over one confused pup that had rushed to Niari with the others and guide him to the second bottle. Once they were both feeding happily he made sure the bottles were steady and ignored the little paws trying to pat at the bottles like they could press more milk out of their surrogate mother.
"Mm, not right now." He answered after a pause to think, watching the pups eating and looking them all over. It was almost easier to tell them apart by looking at their paws rather than their faces. One had little socks, another had one completely brown paw and then mottled for on the rest, and still another had mostly black spots on her lower legs. But their patterns and their faces made it easy enough to decipher who was who and he wanted to memorize them all so he wouldn't mistake them.
"When they're done eating, we can take a better look around and think of what we might need." His brow furrowed a bit in thought. "Maybe an axe, for firewood. Or more blankets. They'll need to keep warm while they're small." He and Niari would be enough for them, but he didn't want to say that they had to sleep in a pile for the forseeable future. Living with the alpha, she was probably used to having her own bed, or sleeping in a pile with family, not a stranger and five found pups.
