She kicked a loose stone that had been nestled between other smaller stones. Her yellow eyes watched contently as it tumbled into the lake. It wasn't a very great feat mentioning the lake's edge was only a few inches from where the stone had originally been. It still brought a brief pleasure to her though. The kind of pride and pleasure a child would feel at learning they could do something new even if it was simple - like jumping or running.

It was a good feeling but it quickly disappeared.

So she kicked another stone into the lake's calm shores despite the gentle pain that spread over her dainty paw.

She didn't turn her head to see who it was, the scent and voice familiar enough. There should have been a smile on her face at his humorous words but all she did was kick another rock.

"Yes I am. They're a bit ugly, don't you think?" She teased with a bit of a sneer. They weren't awful really, she was just being a pain. "Help me." It was a gentle command to the larger male as she motioned with her head for him to come closer. There were plenty of small pebbles to be kicked into the lake. She would need some help if she planned on ridding the lake of all of them. It was an impossible feat really but that wasn't going to stop her from trying.

She tossed her head to the side in a more than dramatic fashion, throwing the Archer a sharp glance before looking back at the waters. "Is it really taking a chance if I know you're not far? Nor are the others." While she may not have been buddy-buddy with everyone, she didn't expect them to ignore her if she called for help with coyotes. Especially not the dark fellow yearling by her side. He stuck to her like glue it seemed and she appreciated it - most of the time.

"So how long you plan on staying here? Got any big plans?" She dropped the heavy questions with about as much tact as an elk. In her mind though, it was small talk. Anything to fill the silence while she kicked more small pebbles into the water.

She snorted and gave another roll of her eyes. Whatever. Chance schmance. The coyotes didn't scare her but they were annoying as all get out. Maybe he was right or maybe he wasn't. Only time would tell.

A pale ear flicked as his words. Everything seemed a bit vague but she figured he was being honest. Bellatrix hadn't been given a chance to not believe the larger male. "How did you meet them?" Another question hung on the tip of her tongue but she kept it hidden behind inky lips. And what's their worth? The Rigel girl was still trying to feel things out for herself in terms of the wolves she had suddenly surrounded herself with.

There wasn't really much to it. Although she did have to wonder why it took months to set things up here. Obviously they were traveling from somewhere as she had met Ramiel (and even Elias) along the way but...months just for this place? Seemed a bit over the top. She offered a casual shrug as she kicked another stone into the water.

"Must have been a good offer for you to stick around for months." Her words teetered on being a joke or being serious, like she couldn't decide which buttons to push.

Casually she bumped his shoulder with her own, motioning for him to follow her back. "Can't clear the lake of its ugly rocks in one day. Let's head back." They could chatter on the way but truthfully, her paw was hurting from kicking all those rocks.
