warm morning, i wait

An invite had appeared, of all things, casually. The rumor became reality as it made its way around the Maze. A new pack, one Beauregard had spoken about, was hosting a summer festival. Sayuri was delighted to take part, making sure to give news through Akira's note to the organizers. The raccoon dog was still away in Boreas, delivering the news, leaving her alone. She felt restless, pacing through the shady location.

It would be her first event in Boreas... She must look presentable! The day was nearly upon them for beginning this "Summer Fest". She would make sure to bathe regularly, her fur shining like pearls by the time she marched all the way up to Menagerie. She hoped to see Beauregard there, safe and happy. But most of all, she hoped to look at the alphas and gleam some news from them. She was not so foolish to assume they'd spill 'beans'.

Yet, any news was good! She sometimes felt suffocated being here in Tojo-Kai, cut off from the world. It was a pleasant morning. An early morning. Sayuri paced around outside her den, murmuring about beauty regimes. She barely noticed the other's approach.
