Stone Circle Celebration!

The howl sounded, and Adeline's head jerked up, her ears perking. Crap, she thought. Now was not the greatest time for a meeting, as she was currently belly-deep in a mud pit, and therefore covered in it. It had been a fine idea, and she had a blast, but she couldn't imagine it would be a very positive image for the daughter of the Alpha to arrive so dirty. Oh, well, she though, trying to remove herself from her play pit. 

But, that was easier said than done, and before she knew it, she was way late to the party. She had ran as fast as she could, but it was obvious arriving at the end of her Dad's speech that she had missed the beginning of the celebration. She shot Steady and Valette an apologetic look before taking a spot next to Philos. She didn't hesitate in trying to touch her shoulder to his, purposely trying to smear mud on him with a grin.
