Phoenix Maplewood disconnect and self-destruct

Gaia had been relatively quiet since her arrival – it wasn’t that she did not wish to prove herself to Saena, simply that the woman had birthed her puppies, and she in turn had taken to a quiet approach at her duties and out of the way of many.
 
Today, this more silent approach was to maintain the borders – and dutifully, the pale woman would stop every so often, leaving her scent before trailing forward, allowing the beauty of the spring day to cheer her soul. Soft creams and gold glinted in the sunlight, and poised above all else, the girl cast her mint-colored eyes in the direction the wind teased her toward – having not quite considered the fact she might actually come upon another.
 
A moment of hesitation spurned her to drift away. To allow one of the more experienced members to deal with whatever rogue saw fit to traipse their borders (nevermind she had been such a lone wolf only weeks ago) – and yet swallowing, the girl hedged forward, her stride smooth as she attempted to eradicate any nervousness from her posture.
 
He was respectful of their borders thus far, and as she neared, noted the bone and meat within his jaws. “Hello,” she offered, her tone soft as she studied him quietly.
