Ugh. Hello, or whatever.

With winter came relief. Her season was passed and no longer sending her hormones into a raging fit, leaving her with some sense of normalcy for the first time in months. Or at least what should have felt like normalcy. Callisto's decision to leave her pack had been made in a rash moment of emotional turmoil caused by her heat, and all the time she had spent since as a loner had been under the mind-altering spell of that seasonal problem. Only now it had receded and she was forced to come to terms with all the decisions she had made during that time and try to figure out where to go from there.

She had not wanted to think about her pack, or her rendezvous with Jakart, so she had made herself focus on her plants. Unsurprising, and yet still somewhat disappointingly, the cat had remained, still doing her part by making quick remarks whenever things became too quiet for her liking. Callisto's patience appeared to have been restored now that her season was gone, but it still did not make the cat any less annoying. But for the most part the feline gave her space, grew bored with her mistress's constant attention to her plants, and wandered off on her own, leaving the grey-legged healer to herself with no other company but the meager store of medicinal plants that she had managed to save through the previous season.

Now was time to take stock of them again, and see what could keep through the winter. She was busy at it, sifting carefully through the small piles of herbs and plants that she kept within a hollow at the base of a tree, when she heard soft, approaching steps of someone growing closer. An ear twitched, and for a brief second of inattention she thought it might have been the cat returning from whatever it was that she did to keep herself busy. But the sound was too heavy for that, too loud... Callisto blinked, finally tearing her attention away from her plants to turn and glance over one shoulder at the noisemaker.

Not the cat, and neither was it anyone she knew. Her brow furrowed in a show of puzzlement above her silver-blue eyes as she regarded the tall stranger. Had the wolf noticed her? Was she walking her way purposefully or did she intend to keep moving on past her? The latter became the answer as the other offered out a tentative greeting, and at first the dark colored wolf did not answer. Why was it a question? Did she expect to be ignored? She ought to answer, Callisto thought, and a bit reluctantly she called back, "Hey." Could she really get away with just that? Why had she spoken in the first place; she should have just stayed quiet. "Passing through?" she questioned, though she honestly did not expect much of an answer. It was not her business, and if this wolf was anything like her she would be reluctant to give out too much information anyway. She really should have just stayed quiet.
