Come One, Come All

Lyric didn't want to be alone, but she didn't know how to talk to anyone anymore. He was everywhere in this pack, it would be more his home than hers if her mother wasn't leading the place. The girl couldn't find it within herself to hunt or take anyone else's well deserved meals from those that did hunt. For others she still managed to smile, but it was nearly impossible to do on her own anymore... she knew it was selfish, to be so unhappy when she was home - her family was here, they'd do anything for her... but without Alpine everything had just lost it's shine.

When Chrysanthe found her on the borders, she had wished that anyone but her sister had found her. She had a knack for reading her despite her smiling visage - and she just didn't have the heart to talk about what was on her mind. Thankfully, Erani would call for a meeting shortly after the russet faced woman started prying too hard and they would make their way to the meeting place in silence. She did her best to look chipper, and it probably would have worked without a hitch if her sister and niece hadn't decided to sit with Alpine and his acquaintance. It was hard to convince herself that she was just his friend - she was gorgeous, small and probably much better to him than she had been during her short time as his mate.

She would meet all eyes but Alpine's as she took her seat on her sister's other side, sighing as she look down at the ground. Being in the same meeting as him shouldn't make her want to cry! The girl was silent while waiting for her mother to address the pack, her mind wandering enough for her expression to fall slack without her noticing.
