The arrival of her father made her tail sway happily against her legs. She leaned into his affection and then promptly sandwiched herself between both parents. She felt safe there, but was still too shy to interact with the stranger. Even when Ibis introduced her, clearly knowing her, Arielle kept quiet and close to her parents.

Of course, she really had no say in the matter—she would follow along wherever her family went, but she would be internally fretting about it until they were safe once more.
