Offering a nod in acknowledgement of his thanks, the youth cast another glance Sceral's way. "Celandine Argyris. I'm Hypatia's sister." Introducing herself as an extension to one of her siblings felt all wrong on the girl's tongue. Resisting the urge to spit, as if the words actually had a taste to them, she resolved to never do such a thing again. A queen would not introduce themselves as such, and so she mustn't either.
Finding herself unwilling to delve any deeper into his search, the waited in silence. Seconds passed like hours, as she felt an awkward tension growing. Celandine couldn't help but wonder how long it would be before they decided she wasn't coming. Would she have to send the honey-colored male away, or allow him to wait at their borders like some sort of scavenger planning it's next meal?
When Hypatia's familiar paw steps began to appear, the Argyris girl felt relief. The tension seemed to disappear, taking with it any worries she might have had. Her tawny sister's reaction to the male did not surprise Celandine. Oak Tree Bend had a less than savory history with the Plateau, and she knew her father would not be too keen on finding the scent when he made his rounds of the borders.
Only moment's later, she became aware of another familiar gait, headed strait toward them.The youth knew she was in trouble. Phineas should have been notified immediately, and she had failed to carry out her duties. Bowing her head in shame as he approached, Celandine knew sucking up would do her little good. "Do the Plateau wolves come down and prance around your borders often?" Oh no, he was in a mood.
