She had avoided it for as long as she could, but eventually she had been coaxed out of her den by hunger. Thankfully it was after Maximous was long gone, but not before some little scavenger had tried to steal the meal he had brought right from her doorstep. The scrawny little cat had put up a fight and had refused to leave, instead hanging around the den in the hopes of picking up scraps of meals - or as Callisto was quickly beginning to think, just to bug the hell out of her.

Even now it trailed at a safe distance behind the grey-legged girl, the cat's tiny paws light and her air that of mild interest as her golden eyes regarded her surroundings. Callisto glanced over one shoulder at the irritating feline, still tempted to try turning on her again but she knew better from last time that the cat was going nowhere. She might have been a teeny thing, barely keeping her weight, but she was quick as lightning. Catching her was going to be a challenge.

"I would have thought someone like you would prefer staying away from packs. We've no problem eating your kind, you know," Callisto called out to the black cat, once again returning her attention forward as she tried to set her silvery blue gaze upon the Ebony border that she approached. From behind her, she heard the feline's disinterested answer, "Your kind hasn't caught me yet." Callisto felt her expression darken at the thought. Yet.

Her spindly legs stopped her just outside of the pack lands, and cautiously she peered inward, scenting quickly for any sign that Max might have been on this side of Ebony. His den was on the other side, by Firefly Lake, but there was no telling with him, especially since he had already made one visit to her old den directly to find her.

"Waiting for someone?" The dry question caused a bit of the fur along Callisto's spine to raise as she cast a pointed glance over her shoulder, hoping the cat would take the hint to scram before she completely wore out her welcome. Turning back, she parted her jaws and called out in a quiet howl, summoning Kassander to her. They had not parted on the best of terms during their last meeting, when she had officially made her comeback, and she had no idea how this one would go either. But she did need to tell him, and hoped somehow he might have an answer for the new predicament she found herself in.
