Before long, the larger, much broader figure of the familiar woman appeared into the sunlight. The canopy of trees basically avoided her den, so she got the luxury of being exposed to the sky instead of lurking under the trees like a crocodile. Instead of doing what she would usually do to her enemies, which was giving them the cold shoulder, she smiled gently and nodded her head to the dame. She couldn't quite say she meant the polite greeting...she didn't know what this was yet. But she wanted to be welcoming either way. Besides...what good would it do her to be rude?
"That's me!" She giggled sweetly, her tail waggling back and forth as she stood and trotted toward the multicolored woman. "And you are...Svetlana...? Leo's friend- er, girlfriend? Mate?" Oops, oops. Arivae felt like retreating into her den. She basically made it clear that what Svetlana had done (growling at her) offended her. Or maybe it was just her inner anxiety trying to beat her into a soggy pulp? The dark girl swallowed and continued to smile with ease.
