Vashti had moved to the off side of the room for the moments that she waited for the patrol to begin. While there her brown eyes floated across every face in the kitchen; either smiling amidst a bubble of laughter, toneless with thought, or seemingly annoyed.....possibly at the noise of the room. 

  Leaning against the wall the tall girl let out a breath and let a smile come to her face. She had missed the bustle of pack life; while traveling she hadn't realized how lonely she had become.......her heart felt full again, even though the fact that this wasn't her permanent home hung in the back of her mind. 

  Sighing at this Vashti reached up to play with a lock of brown hair which had pulled from her braid. Twirling it in her fingers she almost didn't notice a young woman speak up over the crowd. 

  Lifting her gaze she watched as she, a rather stern female with dark skin, announced the patrol volunteers would meet on the deck.

 Pushing herself off the wall Vashti strode confidently through the crowd. Passing the female, whom from the Ulfric's words she assumed was named Sasha, she cast her a simple nod and made way to the exiting doors.
