Hushed Willows so.. this all seems horrible

The sound of the wind gently flitting through the willows continued to sooth her very soul.  At times Banner could swear the rhythm of the rustle mimicked the whisper-quiet in and out of breathing.  Marauder's Keep as a living thing - that was a lovely thought.  The short female chuckled to herself.  Having the time and frame of mind to even entertain such musings made her feel lighter.

She paused, her head turning to the side.  Someone was near.  She knew it was a packmate - what outsider would be stupid enough to wander in here uninvited? - and instantly lowered her tail.  Her ears flattened against her skull in deference to this wolf who was likely ranked above her.  Politeness, restpect, all that.  Banner moved in the direction of her newfound company, a light smile settling on her face.  Her new focus should be on making good impressions.. or just being the best version of herself.  The one she hadn't known in months.

A male, colored even darker than she, was heading in her direction.  Banner paused again and dipped her head.  "Good evening," she offered in her soft voice.
