Kalliope shifted uncertainly while she waited for Castiel to appear... at least she hoped he would. The longer she waited the more she began to question her decision to come here. What if someone else from his pack showed up? Like his alpha or someone important like that? She didn't want to be questioned and have to explain herself or risk being forced into living in this pack. If she was going to join a pack she wanted to do it on her own accord... and she honestly wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet. She fidgeted nervously and was about to turn to leave when she finally heard Castiel's voice calling her name.

She breathed a sigh of relief, forcing herself to calm down. She took a couple of steps toward him as his scent reached her and he got close enough for her to hear his footsteps, but she stopped and let him come to her so she wouldn't risk crossing any of the scent markers. She gave him a little smile and said, "I'm glad to see you too... Well, be with you again anyway." She chuckled at herself, her chuckle sounding a bit hollow in her own ears. Still couldn't quite shake these nervous flutters in her stomach and she couldn't figure out why.

"I've been okay," she replied as she sat back onto her haunches with a sigh while she tried to relax. "It's just been getting a bit harder to find food and water cause it's been so hot. I've been getting by though." She tried really hard to downplay the whole thing. She hated when others worried about her. "I um... I was actually wondering if maybe.... Well-" She shifted uncertainly again, her ears flicking back against her head. Why was this so hard?! "It's just, I've been thinking about you a lot so I just wanted to come see you and I didn't know if maybe I could stay with you here for a while till the summer passes so maybe it wouldn't be so hard to find food till the summer passes," she finally said, her words spilling out in a rush.

She stopped herself, her face warming up as she blushed with embarrassment at herself. "Sorry," she said with a shrug. "I'm not good at asking for things. Or socializing. Or feelings." She chuckled a little and gave him an apologetic grin. She couldn't just be normal for a minute could she? Asking for anything made her so uncomfortable anyway, but she really liked Castiel and she didn't want him to think that she was using him.

"Talk" "You" Think
