His loud laugh surprised her so much that her black ears slid backward momentarily. He had always struck her as a soft-spoken individual who was very slow to smile, much less laugh. Once she got over her surprise, though, she felt more flattered than ever. Turquoise grinned at him, happy to be able to say that she could get the surly Alpha male to crack a smile and let loose a laugh.

"Uh, well, my family's huge. I love them a lot but it's easy to get overlooked or walked all over in the Blackthorn Clan. So I left. I was on my own a while, then decided I missed them too much and went back. I left when it became too much again. I met Rivet not long after and the two of us were traveling by ourselves a while, enjoying the nomadic life with just the two of us. Then we found our way here and we decided to join a pack. And here we are." She paused, then made a phlegmatic snoring noise. "Boring stuff, right?"

And now what? If she had truly spoiled her relationship with the svelte DeMonte, would they both stay here in Neverwinter? Turquoise felt a bolt of despair. She was already rather fond of this pack and didn't want her misbehavior to ruin everything. Her jaws suddenly closed together and she tried not to grimace outwardly. Guilt and anger (with herself) washed through her in powerful waves again and she lapsed into a stony silence, her turquoise eyes averted away from Styx.
