Away with the waves | Joining

[Wavepool]

Despite the situation she was in, Wavepool couldn't help but brighten up a bit at the greeting she received in turn. It was always nice to see such enthusiasm in a greeting party, even if it was far from a rare thing, especially considering she had just professed to having an interest in joining, or at least staying for a time. The name she gave for their group however, the Typhoon, that...it wasn't a name that she recognized, which was concerning for a number of reasons. This didn't seem like a small group, not at all, and the fact that she didn't recognize the name meant that she was quite a long way from home, with no point of reference she could use to find her way back. The smile she had been wearing till that point became strained, and it was hard not to give in to the sudden despair she felt wash over her. Again, she was going to be starting over once more, with none of her friends or loved ones in sight, just when she had finally found a home, it was ripped out from under her again.

"I.....I see." Was all she could offer in the face of this startling realization, her eyes slipping closed as she took several deep breaths and did her best to steady herself. "Well, it's a p-pleasure to meet you Vayne, and I....I might be staying here a while, at least until I can find a way home" she said in return, pushing as much cheer into her voice as she could manage, though in the end it still wasn't much. "Could you lead me to where I'll be staying? I-It's....it's been a long day, and I certainly wouldn't mind a bit of rest" She just needed to keep a hold over herself until she could get to somewhere private, then she would be free to work through her feelings, to let everything out.

A new group she would have to get used to living with, with all the hardship that would bring, no easy way back to where she had come from, missing what was possibly the most important ability she had ever had, it was more stress than she needed right now. Something multiple times her size slinking out of the water was also not something she really needed right now, though his friendly posture at least kept her from outright jumping back in fright from his appearance. A somewhat shaky nod of acknowledgment was given to the wolf as the maine coon did her best to relax her suddenly tense muscles, maybe she was a bit more stressed than she thought. 'They're friendly, relax, just don't think about how much bigger he is, how powerless I am ri-no, stop....just...shelter first, worry about everything else after...'
