hey neighbor

"Hello to you both," she demurred as the pair of women approached, one younger and darker furred followed by what looked like a phantom. They introduced themselves politely enough, but there was a certain aplomb with the way they conducted themselves that told Theory to be patient, pay attention, and listen to subtext. She straightened up and introduced herself. "I'm the Headmistress of Abaven. We've shared borders for some time, but unfortunately this past year of weather followed by the long night..." she rolled her shoulders in a shrug. "It kept me from making this meeting sooner, and I regret that." She paused for just a moment to collect herself before launching into the more long-winded explanation about Abaven's new focus. "My pack has long been a family-oriented pack that took care of its own - but my focus has since expanded. We're dedicating ourselves fully to education, especially youths, but wolves of any age or alliance will be welcome to study alongside our professors." Theory surveyed them for any inkling of a reaction then slowly sat down. "I just wanted to spread the word and let you know what our intentions are - you're welcome to send anyone who's interested."
