Porcupine Ridge Joining

Diane didn't react to Jhala's touch as she had to being touched previously. She had been unprepared for it the last time, and the flashback had definitely not tempered her reaction, but the she-wolf expected such physicality now. Even expecting it, the light nudge stilled her slightly before it served its purpose by filling her with warm reassurance. Her gaze swiveled back to the male, ears perking to her companion's additional query. But before he could answer, they were graced sidelong by the presence of Capriccio.

She only knew who this was because Tagg had described his leading counterpart to her on the initial journey to Porcupine Ridge. Still, Diane was stunned by her remarkable appearance, and merely knowing who she was had drawn her limbs into tucking mode before the assertion of body language could make her. Shy eyes took to Novak as he introduced himself and expressed his values. She was least positioned to judge him at the moment, so she was silent thereafter.

He insisted finally that he felt cavalier not knowing who they were, but Diane considered for a moment that the only one who should be feeling superior in this situation was the Alpha female and her present cohorts. Her short, thick tail waved stiffly. "I'm Diane."
