The Sunspire And while I'm alive

At first, when she noticed the other, Maia ignored them.  She didn't much want to talk, and her brooding was 100% a full time job right now, no interruptions plz.

Then she noticed how awkward the other looked, and immediately she felt a tug of remorse poke through her churlishness.  Yeah she didn't feel much like talking, but she didn't want to be a complete jerk to her new packmates either.

"Hey," She said, her tail giving a gentle wag.  Then she remember why she didn't want to talk in the first place... likely this wolf would laugh at her too.  Shoot.  So that was all she said, the word muffled by the bird that she kept clamped in her jaws.  Good excuse not to chat, eh?
