Whitefish River I made wine from the lilac tree

@Winterbourne just between us girls...

One by one, she was adding them all to her list. Getting to know each and every member slowly as time ticked on. Every now and then a familiar face would disappear, only to be replaced by new ones. It seemed like a never-ending task. Even if it was dizzying and difficult, she was determined to keep up. 

One, in particular, has been around for a while, since Ira's announcement for Constable. Today, she would come to greet him. Swiftly she ran to his den, lithe legs carrying her quickly to her destination as pads quietly padded against the soft grass.

Once she came to where she believed the grey man to reside, his chosen den, Reiko peeked in - well somewhat. She tossed her head to the side, alabaster audits peeking out from the side of the den like twin missiles as she called out. Goodmorning! She wouldn't dare look in just yet, not until he was ready, but she would pester the man at least. She would spend time with him today if it was the last thing she would do!

slight pp with permission!

He wakes to the sound of an unfamiliar voice, startled enough to flinch slightly — but thankfully, the whole affair doesn't seem to rouse @Evergreen, who only stirs faintly. Winterbourne rises slowly, careful to avoid jostling his companion as he steps from the den as quickly and quietly as possible. Shhhh! It slips from him the moment he sees the woman, an automatic reaction to her loud greeting. His tone lacks malice, though he knows it isn't exactly polite to shush a stranger anyway. Still — Evergreen's sleeping — we can talk over there. His own voice is hushed, and he turns to lead her a reasonable distance away without waiting for a response, determined to get her away from the den before she wakes Evergreen.

Excitedly she waited at the mouth of the den, but that came to a quick halt as the male came out quickly with a hushing. Drawing herself in small, tail tucked low, and ears pressed against her crown, she felt her body lean back as to give the man as much space as she could without falling over backward. As Winterbourne escorted them to a further spot to chat, she still very small, from her previous excitement, she felt it all drain away, regret, she waited until Winterbourne felt it was a good enough distance for her to voice herself again. I'm sorry, it's nothing pressing, we can always talk again another time. Adverting her gaze, Reiko only felt like she had made a major mistake in her attempts at just getting to know each member of Kaistleoki.
