Back in my day...

Kintsugi had dutifully waited in the woods near the lake, busing herself with singing practice and examining the local fauna... at least she was until a squirrel ran across her path and distracted her enough to pull her away in her pursuit of it. All of her stalking and chasing hand nearly gotten her to the beach and of course that was when Manea happened to call for them. She jumped and immediately started to run back toward the lake, upset with herself that she was going to make herself late. Still, even if she was going to be late, she didn't want to look mussed or flustered so she paused just before she left the tree line to catch her breath and smooth down her fur before she trotted out to go join the others. Luckily it looked like she wasn't the last one here since her sister and one of her cousins hadn't quite made it yet. At least she wasn't the most late of the group and that made her feel a little better. "Salve, Avia," she said happily as she settled onto one of the cushions that had been laid out for them, picking one next to Dominus. Hopefully the last couple of the pups arrived soon so they could get this lesson going!
