She smiled brightly at Valentine's greeting and sat beside him, but she knew very well she should be appropriate. She'd offered him such an affectionate greeting mostly because she had been the only other wolf in the clearing. She wouldn't touch him as she made herself comfortable and awaited the rest of the pack no matter how comfortable she would have been snuggled up under his chin. She'd try and keep herself from getting too distracted by him and wasn't being particularly mindful of the arrivals, but she'd return Birna's nod respectfully along with her name. "Rhythm Destruction." She could imagine she knew very well who Valen was. Revenge and Mercy were next and she'd try to smile at both, but as Mercy's gaze shifted from Valentine to herself the obvious displeasure was quite unexpected. Her ears would fall to her head and she'd watch Mercy to see if there might be an explanation, but she'd already shifted her attention. It didn't seem that any one else paid her any mind until Ash came up and addressed her by name. He'd first ask Valen where Cas was, and then herself. She shrugged, it was certainly not her job to keep track of Cascade and what she was going to do next. Sometimes she wished she knew however. The taller woman would take up her place beside Valentine, and Rhythm would smile politely towards her, not really expecting any kind of greeting. It seemed that Ash was very much satisfied with the answers he'd been given by his father and Cascade because he was soon off, only to be followed in by Evangeline. Rhythm might not have really noticed her if she hadn't come raging in at her. Blinking at the envenomated words Rhythm was at a loss before the girl went on, and Rhythm couldn't do anything but stare in shock. If she were coherent she might have said something about Valentine being incredibly forgiving, making bad decisions, and letting your emotions get the best of you but Valentine was much quicker to interfere. Vana would slink away and Rhythm would sink down to lay in the grasses at Valentine's feet. She knew very well that she'd made the second (maybe first, she couldn't decide) biggest mistake of her life, and somehow Valentine hadn't sent her on her way with a new shiny scar. She wouldn't notice the other arrivals, quite shaken by the young Imperialis's words she'd linger submissively by the Alpha's paws in the moments before he spoke. He'd calm slightly as he addressed them all, and she would slowly rise back to a seated position. This meeting did well to open her eyes to previously hidden hostility in her direction and as Valentine struck his decision she had no doubt she would get some visitors in the next few days. Until then, she would be enjoying patrols with Seraphim. Her bright blue and purple gaze would find him, sitting next to his sister, but he'd still seem to offer her a little bit of a smile, and she'd return the gesture. What she certainly hadn't expected was that Vana would be her mentor. Again blinking in surprise she'd glance to Valentine in case she heard wrong, but as her eyes shifted back to Phim and Vana she knew she hadn't. What was going on in that head of his then? She wouldn't doubt him, but would offer an obedient nod as she found her way to her feet. She'd leave the siblings be for now, later she'd collect Seraphim for their patrol and eventually Vana for what she hoped would be a first lesson. Finding herself giving Valen one more loving glance before she went her way the woman couldn't help but wonder how all of this might pan out. |
