Catori was used to ranging about but since her time in Morningside she'd stayed mostly static in the territory. Getting out and exploring made her happy, and while she longed to return to Grayday as soon as possible, she was enjoying the trip. Getting to know Aviana was nice too. Cat didn't want to pry too much but she was curious about why Sebastian and Aviana didn't live together - but then she and Seelie didn't live together either no matter how happy she would have been with the prospect. 

Maybe soon. 

She grinned when Aviana got more excited - no doubt this was the pack that they were looking for and as they approached Catori bumped her shoulder against the girl in a friendly manner. She took a neutral stance as they waited for the brother to find them, tail wagging slowly behind her. "Nervous at all?"   Catori asked curiously.  

Catori knew how she'd feel once she tracked her cousin down again. She knew it would be something intense, and although she wouldn't say it was how she'd feel about seeing Chelan again it was still at the forefront of her thoughts. "I bet I'll feel the same when I introduce Gray to Seelie,"  She admitted. They'd only briefly talked about their families, ranging made it a little harder to properly get traction on learning about one another. But still, family was a common theme. 

" Oh! Oh, no, I'm not - not the Alpha.'  She said quickly when she was introduced to Sebastian. She offered him a polite smile before looking back to Aviana and again to the male. " My mate, his daughter, and another pack mate run the pack. I just cause general mischief."  She teased with a smile. "We're settled on the plateau near the coast - we call ourselves Morningside." Catori introduced proudly. Alpha female or no, she still loved their group. 

 

For Catori up until that moment the war had been very impersonal to her. Now that she actually knew someone tied into it, she was more invested. She watched Aviana with concern - it wasn't easy to hear that your sibling was going to be involved in something like that. "You should come visit Morningside afterwards, maybe rest up with us?" Catori wasn't entirely sure of where Blackfeather was - but if it was on the way or feasible in any way she knew it would be good to let the siblings have time together and Pema could look Sebastian over. "Please stay safe - this is just....this whole war is ridiculous." She said bitterly.

Catori didn't like the idea of having one of their own (even just by association) involved in the brutality of war. If she had known these were the same wolves who had taken her Coelacanth and had held her captive, brutalizing the tender sprite, she would have razed them to the ground herself. "Our healers can look you over - and we're wonderful hunters. We'll get you recovered in no time." Catori promised. She didn't like to think of war in general as it seemed so....barbaric and just primitive. For some, that was the thrill. Catori didn't understand it. "And we'd get to know you better while you visit, so please. Head our way as soon as this is done." She wanted to end the visit on a high note and try not to think just of the negatives but it was so hard to do. 

When Aviana suggested they leave Catori made a little face, chewing her lip. "Do....do you wanna stay a bit longer? I can scout around the area and meet up with you around sunset. Give you guys some time to talk without me looming around." She was joking when she said it but she had that nagging feeling....if there was a chance something might happen to Chelan she'd want to spend as much time with him as possible. "I'll come back by soon." She promised before she reached over to gently nudge Aviana, snout touching her cheek briefly in a sign of affection and solidarity. "It was nice to meet you Sebastien. Don't be a stranger." She said with a wag of her tail before she headed off to see the lands around the Caldera and give the siblings some time together.
