Some movement would catch the woman's attention, a mass making its way closer to her position. Carefully her head would rise once more, purple gaze narrowing as she tried to focus on trying to distinguish if it was someone she had met, possibly Branch. There was a prickle of unease in those short moments, feeling her hackles raise lightly. There was always that possibility of an unknown person causing trouble. But much to her relief, it as exactly the wolf she was looking for. A sigh of relief escaped inky lips as she watched him approach, feeling a slight lift in her own tail as he finally was close enough to greet her. ”Good day, Branch. Her sweet voice spoke, blinking a few thick flakes out of her eyes.

A smile spread over her features, but she held onto that strong weight of awkwardness and uncertainty. What should she say? What wouldn't sound weird? Lips pulled back the slightest in a nervous smile, clearing her throat and feeling her gaze drop from his own. ”Looks like my visit took a little longer than expected.” With a light chuckle she seemed to make friendly conversation, wanting him to know she wasn't just flaking on him in making a new friend. A simple explanation, if one was needed in the first place, but she felt that she had to give her side of the story. ”I received word that my grandmother fell very ill, my mother wasn't sure she would make it...” She breathed out shakily, feeling her gaze flicker up to his own then drifting back down.
