Curious Visitors [GATHERING]

CALLISTO

Walk | Talk | Think

As soon as she spotted the wolf walking towards her she knew she was in trouble. For starters, she was smiling, like these arrangements and this tournament were perfectly acceptable and the prospect of having their home infested with strangers from neighboring packs was fun. Callisto could see already that this was someone either completely optimistic or easily entertained by things, and in neither case did she see the conversation going at all well for her. Would it have been too rude to blatantly roll her eyes before the wolf reached her? She supposed turning and walking away in the opposite direction would have been at any rate. Feeling cornered, Callisto stopped and waited impatiently, her jaws clenching in a moment of unrestrained frustration.

The woman's chipper greeting came all too quickly, and because it was expected of her to play nice and make friends the grey-legged yearling put on a false smile that in no way reached her eyes and returned the greeting. "Hey!" Already she could feel the smile beginning to sip away and abandoning it altogether she continued in her more natural, rather bored sounding tone, "You from Ebony?" At least she could use this outdoor event to find a few more members of her pack and figure out their names, make an effort to seem like she was trying to find her place amongst them. Yeah, that sounded like a good plan.
