Walk | Talk | Think

It had taken quite a while for Callisto to work up the nerve to reenter Ebony's borders. She was still paranoid that Maximous was going to show up, trying to be friendly with her or pretending that nothing had happened between them, but so far she had been saved from that awkwardness. He was keeping his distance, sticking to the Firefly Lake she assumed, and so she had chosen the Rock Garden to make her reentry. Overall it seemed to be the less populous part of the pack lands, and though it was still no Stone Steppe she figured she would have to get used to it.

She padded about along the edges of the pack lands, avoiding the center and staying well away from the border the rocky locale shared with the lake - in no way was she ready to test her luck yet. Silvery blue eyes were constantly moving and her hearing was on high alert, expectantly listening for any sound of approach or passersby. Not even before the events that had caused her to panic and runaway had she been the friendly, conversational type, and if anything she felt even more reserved and closed off now. But everything felt quiet, empty, relaxing. And with her unwanted pet cat away doing her own thing, Callisto was for once wholly free.

What did she do now? She was back in Ebony, true, but she felt just as lost as when she had been growing restless inside her den on the Stone Steppe. She needed something to do. Automatically her thoughts went to herb gathering. What she had saved before had been left behind and abandoned in Max's den, and no way in hell was she going to go asking for it back. But if she did gather herbs, where was she going to put them now? She had no den, no storage space to keep anything in. In fact, a den probably should have been her top priority at the moment, especially since she had no idea where she was going to be spending the night. Maybe she could even make it cat proof before the pesky feline came back around.

Having made up her mind, Callisto's stoic but observant stare started to pay closer attention to the rocks and formations around her, searching out a location that sported a den already or showed promise as a potential densite.
