Her personal task today would be to learn from the large prey animals the roamed these parts. She had already learned the land, each little hill and hole, each patch of thick growth of grass. Her mind had a photographic like memory, easily able to see and remember the land only once was her only talent. One not even Squall had learned of yet. She had never thought of it as a talent, had just thought everyone else was the same way. So carefully she walked into the herd of the giant beasts. There was some neutral understanding she was not there to hunt. They let her wonder among them, watchful yes, but knew the predator was not on the hunt. A natural balance of understanding. She found a little crop of a hill to sit on and watch through pale green eyes.
They were interesting, huge, strong, and worked together. The young girl could have sat there all day just watching them. But a howl was sent, telling her to answer to it. Ears twitched nervously, had she done something wrong? Was Squall looking for her? She did not know the owner of the call, but she knew she must go to it. Paws lifted the earthen tone girl up and slowly weaved her way out of the herd. Tail hung down, slightly tucked in, and ears laid down on her lowered skull. There in the distance she could see the other. Pausing for a moment she tried to figure out who it was. She had seen her before at gatherings but that was it.
Rohini had yet to show the courage she had during the storm when she saved Pacifica and Squall. She had not carried the same calm, strong and confident air as then. It was like it had never happened. With a sigh she slowly made her way over, pale orbs looked anywhere but at the woman directly. She felt so out of place now, out in the open infront of this wolf. Body lowered to a crouch, her mind barely aware of it. She said nothing, waiting for the other to speak. She could not give a proper greeting to someone whose name she knew not of. "Speech"
