It was strange going into the home of their rivals, or rather, the home of their once rivals and now allies. Rylan still couldn’t wrap her head around the confusing matter. Nonetheless, she had to follow what Alpha said, along with the rest of the pack. She could feel the tension in the very air as everyone was on edge, ready to attack the other despite the commands of their leaders. Rylan stayed close to her pack, unsure if it would be too safe to try and socialize along with the vampires. Both Alpha as well Keller, the pack’s Beta, had gone upstairs. She wanted to go too, but the Alpha urged them to stay put. Of course his right hand would be able to go, probably in case something went wrong. Then of course the rest of them would go up there. 

[i]Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. And Alpha should be fine. He is the Alpha for a reason,[/i] Rylan thought, almost nodding to her own reassurance. She found a seat as she didn’t know how long this was going to take and looked around, looking at any art or other sorts of décor that was for display. She didn’t like sitting still for so long, especially in within the vicinity of many vampires. 

She hadn’t been so close to so many before and it wasn’t the most comfortable situations. Rylan took to distracting herself by means of doodling in her “Conversation Pad” as she called the eleven by eight inch pad of paper she used for talking with. She had a phone, but not being tech savvy, it proved was a bit too difficult for her to use. She also doubted the majority of those around her knew sign, so Conversation Pad it was. In the margins, she doodled little cartoon versions of her pack, although she wasn’t an artist it was mostly stick figure looking canines. It was a fun way to spend her time as she waited for word about whatever they were talking about upstairs.

Rylan then perked, as did several others, pack or coven, at the sound of people coming down the stairs. Both leaders as well Keller and the Coven leader’s right hand had descended the stairs. Rylan halted her doodling, standing up with interest. She grouped along with the rest of the pack. The tension still didn’t waver, and if anything, spiked with the emergence of both leaders. Keller was doing her best to quiet down the pack but there were urgent questions being shot towards her by the others, and consisted of Rylan holding up her pad of paper over the heads of her pack mates, also asking what was going on.

They quickly quieted down, not that Rylan was making much noise in the first place, as the Coven leader called for their attention. She had explained they, pack and coven, will be working together. Safety was in numbers, so it made sense they worked together. Though, how well would they work together after being enemies for so long? She didn’t have any say in the matter as Alpha had also agreed to these matters as whatever he said usually went. She was a scout and her opinion hardly mattered.

In the end, she knew this conjoining of groups would be good for them. She hardly knew much about their greater enemy. [i] Cacciatori? Was that it? It sounds sort of like some kind of pasta. No, no, I shouldn’t be thinking of food, this is important. Well, I haven’t eaten since breakfast. Maybe I can go hunting after this...[/i] Rylan lost track of the issue at hand when the idea of food came up. However, her train of thought ended with the shout of the Alpha when things got too loud on their side. The leader of the vampires went back upstairs not too long after she had come down.

With the little meeting session had ended, everyone began to talk amongst themselves once more. It didn’t seem their leader was answering much questions at the time, so Rylan had settled for Keller, who may know more than she did. The scout moseyed toward the Beta with an obvious curious look to her face. “Sooo, how long do you think this whole teaming together thing is going to work?” She asked with writing, giving a polite smile and stay a respectable couple feet away. Rylan then quickly added, “Also do you think Alpha will allow us to schedule in a little hunting session? Food sounds really good right now.”
