After a few beats had gone by, though, the girl decided this was bloody awkward, staring at someone staring, and gave a light chuff of greeting, hoping not to startle Korei too badly.

"Hullo," she offered, smiling. "I don't believe we've met, formally. I'm Lily--you're Korei, right?" Her dark tail wagged, wanting to know more about the pretty, staring girl.

Maybe she'd be a friend! Lily didn't have many non-family friends back home.

She was never in want of anyone to play with, but they were bonded by blood, not by true friendship. They sort of had to love each other. Now, wolves had to decide whether or not to love Lily.
