The Ooze ParticipantThe Ooze - Variation 3

Laeta's own investigation halted at the voice of another wolf. The woman stiffened at first, not of her own volition. Her mind and body were attempting to warn her of upcoming danger. Still, this was irrational. There was no danger. The familiar scent of the pack lingered more strongly in her nostrils now as she forced herself to take a deep breath and turn around to face the young woman beside her. She was bound to come across her pack mates eventually, something that she hoped wouldn't kick her instinct to freeze or run at the mere sound of one's voice.

Relaxing her shoulders, Lae's ruby gaze scanned the yearling with a glimmer of curiosity. She was an interesting patterning of grey colorpoint and flecks that dotted her coat, something she hadn't come across much in her brief encounters as a loner. Many of them were like Laeta; solid with maybe a few unimpressive markings here and there. This lady, and Artorias, had intriguing fur colors that she considered a rarity where she had come from in Boreas. Still, she had yet to see a whole pallet of colors, bright to dark, on the wolves here. It was all so interesting, and each one of them unique in their own way.

"Hello! I am Jane!" The grey femme said, and Lae noticed her tail was wagging in a relaxed but joyful manner. That was a good sign -- she was clearly happy to see her, even if she was but a stranger. Lae didn't think people could be so welcoming to somebody they didn't know, but the Aegis who welcomed her to the pack had taught her otherwise. Still, her hardened exterior needed a bit more chipping at before she could fully relax in front of everyone. ""Are you new? Need any help?" Jane continued, clearly wanting to know more about her.

Although unaccustomed to talking about herself -- or rather, talking much at all -- Lae still held an emotionless exterior as she softly responded, "I'm Laeta. And yes, I am new here." As to whether she needed help, the monochromatic woman glanced towards the rest of the castle's stone walls, curiosity lighting her eyes even if she held no expression upon her lips or brows. "I guess I don't need help, but I was about to explore the territory a bit. Get a lay of the land, I suppose." If she had more confidence in herself, the woman could've even said she had a knack for finding important parts of a territory after short period of time but she needed a bit of time to survey the place first.
