It was relieving to know that she hadn't interrupted anything and wasn't making a nuisance of herself, acknowledging his response with a satisfied nod. While she had intentionally sought him out, it was for a different reason compared to what the male perceived. She simply wanted to welcome him and get to know him a bit better as he was the first new addition to the pack she was aware of. Although her parents hadn't directly told her to, it was normal for to independently use her initiative. It wasn't like she was creating a negative impact upon the pack, in fact, she was certain the male could benefit from her knowledge. Besides, how embarrassing would it be for her parents to instruct her to socialise with someone new?
The girl noticed his slight anxiousness and the way he didn't return the smile. Maybe she was just expecting too much from him, or maybe he was the one expecting something. Was she the first member of Threar to formally welcome him and seek out an acquaintanceship? She hoped not; where were her family's manners? Perhaps he was a little lost with this new life he had recently started and had been waiting all this time for someone to step in for guidance. To be honest, with all events and festivities buzzing across the lands, it was difficult for her to remember all of her responsibilities. No, she harshly told herself silently. Forgetting was no excuse for not welcoming the male any sooner. A nervous yet guilty gulp inaudibly shoved its way down her throat. What if he had already made an unfriendly impression upon her because of this? Then it seemed she would have to make up for what she had lost in the current conversation she prepared to engage in.
"How are you settling in?" Although usually she was the one to eagerly chat throughout most of the conversation, she hoped the male would be the one to take that today. If she was the first the welcome him, then she assumed he would have a few unanswered questions for her to answer. Depending on what he asked about, it could help to familiarise him with Threar's customs and roles. It would be a rather self-centring discussion if she was to boast about her family and pack, which would surely bring an unpleasant impression upon her. However, there were a few questions she was looking forward to asking herself, that is, if she got down to asking them.
