Uh .... uhh ... !” Suddenly the van tortie has whipped around to face Ilijas, mismatched eyes going wide as she staggered back on three legs. She sniffed cautiously for a moment at him, at the looming crowd of others. At first, her worry just seemed to layer on top of the discomfort that’d been building from before, but when that key word clicked in to her thoughts, she broke with a smile. ”S-Sun, Sunhaven!” Bottleblonde repeated back to the feline, blinking excitedly. But she settled from her outburst, retreating with a warm face to lap at the feathery white fur on her chest. Her gaze was stammered, flickering back and forth between the five animals and the forest floor. So long ago, she might’ve not been able to even face such a gathering crowd of people, espesically with the attention seemed to circulate to her. But now, though it was no easy feat, she could still manage through it, because she knew the purpose of standing up and not backing down from such a thing.

So she opened up a bit, stepping towards the Sunhaveners again with a sheepish nod of her head. ”I’m Bot-Bottleblonde. I’ve been, been looking f-for this pla-place. Sun-haven.” She spoke softly, the jaggedness of her stutter complimented by her light and willowy tone. By now it was apparent, the shaking of her voice, a stutter that had once blossomed because of anxiety and stress, but now stayed with her as a reflexive speech impediment. Of course, she was still so doelike, fretful and wide-eyed, but the braveness of her soul made it very clear that she wasn’t exactly struggling to speak to them, it was just the difficulty of getting the words from her brain to our her lips. ”I came. Came here t-to join. To s-st-stay here.” Boo dipped her head, glancing towards Monroe and nodding, with a grand smile. Yes, rest, she would definitely need it. This place would soon enough be her new home, and being able to start fresh, begin new plans, it would take a lot of energy!
