[div style="max-width: 600px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;"]melantha is fairly confident that none of the topics to be discussed within the meeting hold any relevance to her person. given her recent arrival, the young wildcat's knowledge of inter-clan workings is next to none. but that does not mean she should not attend. in fact, mel is quite interested in hearing the announcements, as it is a wonderful opportunity to start learning some important information about her new home. hopefully she won't have to stay long--not that there's anything wrong with these people, she just wants to find her family--but it never hurts to learn about one's surroundings. only fools and the desperate go into a new situation without taking the time to learn how things work. okay, so maybe she is feeling a bit desperate to return home, but mel is not foolish. the wilds have cultivated her young mind to be cautious and calculating, planning out every step so she can proceed with minimal obstacles. survivors quickly learn how to be efficient. thankfully, snowbound is peaceful enough that melantha no longer has to simultaneously watch her back while trying to sustain herself and teach herself new skills. here, she can just focus on learning and bettering herself. she smiles at the thought of how proud her parents will be when they see how mature she's become. her heart aches at the thought. already, their faces are growing distorted within her mind's eye, and she can longer longer remember their scent. what's next? will she forget their names, too? or maybe just forget them altogether? mel quickly ends that train of thought, refocusing on the present task.
large paws guide the graceful wildcat silently across the terrain, stalking through the shadows and the people, avoiding congested areas and places where she could be easily noticed. while mel does not fear for her life in this place, she still distrusts everyone who lives here. they might be allies, but they are strangers too. the girl is too paranoid to allow herself to let her guard down. that's how people are betrayed and taken by surprise. eventually she finds a place towards the back, rolling back onto her haunches while she listens to the leader's words. what's his name? leigh? she cannot decide what's stranger: his name or the fact that he is some strange equine with a spiral horn. she's discomforted by the knowledge that the person in charge is in the shape of a creature which she has feasted upon several times before. feral horse is always a good substitute when deer is nowhere to be found. enough about that-- tanglewood, the ascendants, and the typhoon. she files away those names for later. thus far, the meeting has been interesting, although she is not quite sure how she feels about a camping event. mel does not exactly trust any of these people to spend the night in the same area. there's a reason why her den is outside of camp.
