Lunch at the pond

As she was lining herself up to wait for her next target to get too close, her ears tilted back as the sound of pawsteps reached her. She turned toward the source and saw Steel. He greeted her warily with a small dip of his head. Esa was surprised to see him, but not disappointed. She smiled in greeting, leaving her post to face him. "So you decided to stay in Argead?" she asked, though it was obvious by his scent that he'd stayed within the territory, "I was surprised to see you at the meeting, and you were so quiet I wasn't sure if you'd stay. Good to see you Steel." Her tail waved in a friendly manner, wondering if he'd want to hunt with her again. Now that they were pack mates, they'd really have to work as a team; difficult for both, as the lone life had claimed them for a long time. Before she could say anything more, another figure made himself known; Mithras! Esa had forgotten just how big he was, and how fascinating his coat color was. She stood there blinking for a few moments, and had to give her head a little shake before finding her voice. "Greetings Mithras," she said, dipping her head to him, feeling a little nervous in his presence - it had been a long, long time since she'd had any responsibility toward an authoritative figure, "I-I'm well, just spending some time hunting. Catching some snacks for anyone who's hungry." What else was she supposed to say? Her paws kneaded the mucky ground anxiously, for once she was at a loss, not knowing what to say next. Perhaps someone else would break the silence and get her brain back on track. |
