greetings from califournia

Fern could nearly see the assessment in the female's eyes. She was examining Fern, as much as Fern was examining her. The female was a bit larger than her-- well, taller. Faine was thin, with long, stick-like appendages. Probably a fast runner. Her scent was also worth noting, as it was strong and, Fern thought, a bit sickly. She disliked the scent of roses. They felt... fake. Like they were covering something up. Fern doubted that this female was hiding anything, as her demeanor was fairly kind and truthful. Maybe it was just Fern's imagination, but she decided to keep her guard up.
When Faine asked how she was liking Talis, Fern replied. "I'm rather enjoying it, actually. I don't know many members, but I like the way it's run. There's not much I disagree with so far." By 'not many members', Fern meant none. She'd been briefly acquainted with Dragon and now Faine, but other than that, she was a stranger. It wasn't a bad thing exactly, but she wanted to be known, respected, and perhaps a tad feared by all. In order to accomplish that, she had to socialize.
"How about you? You're new here too, right? How have you been so far?"
Fern felt the feather in her ear wave a bit in the wind, and made sure to keep her eyes light, innocent, hiding her thoughts. She knew how wolves operated, particularity when they were against her. She wouldn't let Faine see anything until she knew her better.

OOC: Don't mind Fern lol, she's just always on her guard *eye roll*
