Fantastic. And she's crying, apparently. Hestia sniffles. She'd wipe away the tears, but her paws are absolutely filthy and she wasn't in the mood to get mud all over her face. Hestia, in an act of somewhat petty spite the stranger probably didn't deserve(hestia really doesn't care if they do or don't), refuses to look their way for a long minute, at least until she hears their voice.
It's a cougar, and it's a lot bigger than Hestia herself. But -- it's got a red bandanna or sorts wrapped around his eyes, and they're not looking quite at Hestia's face. Blind? Fantastic -- not only can he not see her, still crying, but he can't be a threat. Or not much of one, at least. Either way, Hestia doesn't care, and the fact he can't see her causes her glare to intensify, just because he can't become insulted by it. That was the worst way to get attacked, really.
"It's none of your business," The cub snaps, a half-hearted growl coming from her throat. The effect is promptly nulled by the frankly pathetic sniffle she makes afterwards. A part of her is tempted to make a jab at the other's blindness, just to make her feel better about this whole thing. But first of all, Hestia had standards, and she's not gonna make fun of the blind person for just because she's a mess. "M-My name is Hestia, and she better be here soon," She tries to swallow down a hiccup. It doesn't work very well. It just makes her throat hurt more.
It's a long few moments in which Hestia just stands there, her face twisted in a deep, heavy scowl. She's not even faking it -- well, for the most part she's not. Hestia is just angry all the time. She has a lot to be angry about. Just in general. Her mom, or Amunet, or just her shitty luck in general.
Movement caught Hestia's attention again. She's not actually sure who it is this time, so Hestia reluctantly turns her head to see. Her expression doesn't change until she actually sees Amunet. The leopard is the same as ever, and for a long few moments, Hestia can't really think or feel. Amunet was here -- it's been weeks, and here Hestia finds her in some gross swamp out in the middle of nowhere. Hestia's lip curls, and then she's angry again. She can't find her voice yet though, can't bring herself to object to her mentor's affections. She's numb, yet she's angry, and she's relieved. What a horrifying combination. Hestia hates it. However, it's only when Amunet says she's here now that it spurs Hestia into action.
"And where were you then?" Hestia snaps. Her tail is bristling in a way that suggests it would be fluffed up if it weren't so filthy. She bounces away from the leopard and turns on her with a wavering growl. (she almost trips over the cloak) She doesn't really want to be separated from Amunet it seems, and for a split second Hestia feels bad for yelling. Then in another, she doesn't. So she needs to scream it out some more, Amunet is probably used to it by now. The only ones who'll probably care are the bystanders hearing Hestia scream at levels previously unheard to man. (she's kidding about that, but she still feels just a smidgen bad for the blind guy just sitting around. Blind people have better hearing, right? Very unfortunate.) "Where the hell did you go? Why didn't you find me! Or at least leave a clue!" Very dramatic, just suited for not-family drama. Hestia rounds on Amunet. She's crying again, absolutely fantastic. When will the day come that Hestia isn't an emotional fucking wreck. Let her scream in peace, please. "Why did it take so long? It's not like it's ended well, for me!" The rest of her words are hard to understand -- still loud, just unintelligible. Absolutely fantastic. Now she's a blubbering mess. She's made an absolutely fantastic impression on Tanglewood, one of the most ruthless groups out there. She intruded on their territory, screamed into nothingness for one of their members, and cried a lot. Just what she needs in life.
It doesn't take long for Hestia's anger to dissolve into near nothingness again. The little snow leopard hiccups as the tension practically melts, and Hestia drags herself back over to Amunet in defeat. Her throat is raw by this point, and she's also proved once again that she can reach a shocking volume of noise if she's pissed enough. Now, Hestia attempts to bury her face into Amunet's fur. She's already emotionally drained to hell and back, and is in no way prepared for any drama she's going to end up facing while presumably joining, considering Amunet already seemed somewhat settled here. Absolutely fantastic. Just what she needs
