She should have just stayed inside her den- but the lightning. The thunderclap slammed against her ears, causing her to flinch. Vathmos felt as if the lightning called to her, beckoning her to join it and use it. It made her feel powerful to be in the presence of the storm, as it thundered overhead and the rain drenched her fur. She felt gross, however, the mud sticking to her paws and water dripping off the tuft of fur on her chin.
She barely heard the owl over the downpour and turned to pad towards it. This group was strange- in her old tribe, they would move in a grouping and overpower whatever small creature they came across. Vathmos had been excited to join this new group, but she still often found herself alone, and that made her insides queasy. She needed others and she needed the stability of the clan. When she finally found them, her eyes went to the water, catching glimpse of the alligators and taking a few steps away and off to the side. She had seen crocodiles drag her brethren into the deep- and the ones who did get away didn't last too long after.
She blinked, finally tearing her eyes from the water and towards the owl, briefly glancing at Leroy. Back home, they would have just attacked and eaten this fool. Tanglewood was foreign to her in this way- they didn't exclude others, they even allowed lions in their ranks. Deitruteeya, deitruteeya, liitownose... she cringed. "Isaac.... I am Vathmos. I'm sure there's no issue with you joining."
