Blacktail Deer Plateau cyanide seeds

Rue swallowed as she approached the group, wondering what exactly she was getting herself into here. The three of them seemed just a little too... close somehow. Like literally. Like the cocoa-pelted woman was pretty much plastered to Issun as if they were mates (who knows, maybe they are), and Minori was like.. waaaay more in their personal space than Rue would ever find comfortable herself. 

What was going on with Minori? She looked like she could be royalty, all drawn up in a show of slightly-too-posed supremacy. Minori was certainly an important wolf around here, but putting that fact on display was quite unneccessary.  One of the things that Rue admired about Minori was the easy, dignified grace with which the warrior usually carried herself. This change seemed unnatural and forced, and not to mention... what would this new woman-- possibly a new recruit-- think of such behavior? 

Rue halted a few wolflengths away from the pair. She held herself casually, with a friendly smile and wave in her tail. Her honey eyes were warm and inviting. Only those who knew Rue well would see the pull of worry at the corners of her expression. "Minori... Issun. It's such a relief to see you both recovered." Rue had done her best to care for both of the mercenaries' injuries, but both of their conditions had been quite serious and Rue was no expert. She did not like to recall how uncertain their recoveries had been.

"Hello, Miss," she addressed the cocoa lady next, with a reassuring smile. Rue dipped her head to gesture for the woman to come forward, inviting her to remove herself from Issun so that they might better have a conversation. Rue could barely see what she looked like when she was all tucked up against the man.

Minori had welcomed her already and introduced their territory, so all there was left to do was introduce themselves. "This is Minori, our Gamma and esteemed mercenary. I am Ruenna Redfern, Beta. Am I correct in assuming you wish to join our ranks?" Rue's tail twitched expectantly.
