It seemed that Talvi had arrived in the East just in time for some sort of festival. She didn't recognise the voice that had summoned everyone,  Threar had not been on the list of allies during her venture to meet them all as Bevroren had become Regium. Even so, it was in the same general direction she believed needed to be taken to reach her sister's new home and given that fact, it made sense to stop by and see what all the fuss was about. It was quite the fuss indeed. A rather large crowd had begun to gather, more wolves than Talvi had probably ever been around in her life. They were from various ends of Alacritia, none that she could say she had met on her travels however. Perhaps somewhere amongst the crowd there would be a vaguely familiar face, if there was however they were hidden from her at this moment. All the same, she would stay a while, at least long enough to give the events a chance.

...and what was a festival without meeting new wolves? Perhaps making new friends? The tiny huntress would leave Kismet and once more move through the crowd, looking for wolves who were not already engaged readily in a conversation. Thus far she had to admit that she was enjoying herself, requesting to sign up for the hunting competition and all. There was going to be a lot of fun to be had here, and she intended to have a blast. Perhaps she would even see Voltage here? She had her eye out for the man of the storms, but thus far she had not seen his black and yellow coat. Single red orb would eventually fall on a stray face, one who bore no pack scent upon her coat. How lonely, Akemi would think to herself. She could no longer remember the days when she was a loner. How she had survived them all. It seemed the girl, while she had been much more of a spitfire and reckless while young, had settled into pack life as she aged a little. It had been a smooth transition, really, and she would find herself enjoying it all. Perhaps she might even suggest a home to this stranger, if she sought it? "Would you like some company?" Akemi would ask, approaching the female. If she didn't the tiny female would back off with no questions asked but hey, it wouldn't hurt to ask, right? ""

It was a lonely life, the life of a rogue. Even Talvi had to admit there were moments she craved her previous life within a pack. She'd never exactly been the type of wolf to have many friends around her however, even within the pack whilst she had been loyal and hard-working to an extent she had been somewhat of an outsider still. She was perhaps coping with this life of a loner far better than many may have done. She wasn't sure what she required just yet, but a permanent home could still wait. Company though? Well part of being at this festival was for company was it not? It would be foolish to attend such an event and think you could sit alone in a corner somewhere, with so many wolves and so many things to do at some point or another she was going to have to socialise. "Why not" Came the rhetorical question, an acceptance for the other to join her.

The answer was a rhetorical question, an invitation to take part of the company of the slate and silver woman. Akemi would give a smile, a nod, and come the rest of the way before seating herself. Her single orb was shining, a light of life in it that had begun to burn so much brighter the longer that she stayed with Secretua. Akemi would glance back at the others gathered, speaking in a gentle tone.

“It is good to see that gatherings of peace can still happen, even among those who are not of the same pack and allegiance.” Her gaze would trail back to the female, dipping her head. “My name is Akemi, by the way. Might I have your name?” Manners were not forgotten, another thing that had shaped up a bit since she had joined a pack. Ahh... Things were truly looking up.

Talvi's pack was one that perhaps wouldn't have fit into a gathering like this at one point, started a fight or fuelled a rivalry somewhere down the line. The worst was before her time, even she had no idea just how much trouble her family had caused within these lands, the anger had fortunately died down greatly in Isardis' absence. She wasn't a recognised part of the Armada family anyway, nor was she even part of a pack at all. There was no problem with her being here, finding company among these strangers and blending in just as everyone else did. "Indeed." Talvi agreed, icy gaze surveying the crowd. She'd seen the lines erased between rivalries anyway though there was still that cold part of her that remained a little reluctant to fully trust that things would definitely be peaceful. "Lets hope it continues that way." "Talvi." Akemi had left her own last name and now she would drop her own on this occasion.

Yes... Moments and times of peace were a beautiful thing. She knew in her old pack, unknowingly just like Talvi’s, there would have been more instances of rivalry and feuding between the wolves gathered. No... These festivities were much calmer. Peaceful. She would breathe in, wondering what it might have been like if her father had held this festival instead. Certainly much more bloodshed and ruin. The thought made her shudder. She didn’t want such things... Especially when Einarr and Zisa might be poking about as well. Talvi was the woman’s name, and Akemi would do her best to commit it to her memory, at least for today. The one eyed woman would shift on her paws, closing the single orb. “Will you be staying a while? I believe I overheard something about hunting and spars being set up, if either of those things suit your fancy.” The thought of participating in a hunt and perhaps showing off a bit of her prowess had her excited. She would open her single orb again, letting it fall on the slate woman. “...Have you been in Alacritia long?” She decided to tack on, almost as if it was an afterthought. "Listen to me talk," 'or read my thoughts.'

Talvi had been conceived in the midst of a war, her existence could well have started another and yet she had been surprisingly spared of violence throughout her life. Perhaps thanks to that she didn't seek trouble, though certainly wasn't opposed to participating if things turned ugly, she hadn't been brought up to be weak in spite of the calm life she had led so far though evidently Akemi had seen a fair share of violence in her time. "Perhaps." She responded simply, they did sound rather interesting. As a loner it had been so long since she had participated in any training for such events and a chance to freshen up her skills and perhaps learn more would be valuable. She wouldn't commit just yet though, if these latest months had proven anything it seemed that Talvi wasn't always the greatest with snap decisions. "I was born here, I've never left." Talvi answered in response to her time in Alacritia. She knew others came and went from the lands from time to time, many of her own siblings it seemed. Though she had no one place to call home though, it seemed so far that somewhere in Alacritia itself would remained her home.
