That's not who she was nor who she wanted to be. If this was ever going to be her home she had to start pulling her weight and proving that she was one of them, not just a guest had outstayed her welcome.She knew that this was what she had to do, what she wanted to do, but even so she was nervous as hell. Like hundreds of butterflies were fluttering around in the pit of her stomach.
Dragging in a deep breath, Lenae gathered- the tatters of- her courage and ambled up the goat track to the summit of the Monadnock. Letting out a little 'boof' in greeting, Lenae's tail swished behind her as she approached the leading pair. Okay, this wasn't so scary. She liked Piety and Wraith, they were good to her and had always been since the very instance she had met them.
"Hi...I don't want to be a bother but can we talk? It's nothing bad, I swear! I just- I am...Sorry, can I start again?" She rambled till her lungs tightened in her chest. Taking a steadying breath, she shook her head and tried once more.
Not so bad, they were good people.
"You see...The thing is...What I'm trying to say is... Ah heck, this sounded a lot better in my head. Sorry." Her lips curved down into a frown as she looked to her paws. Wasn't she doing great? Awful.
