While she waited, Clover nervously balanced the books in one arm and used her free hand to run her fingers through her golden hair, smoothing it. She checked her hands, making sure her rings were just so on her fingers and that her bracelets looked alright. She knew it was not smart to be this way, but she was eager to impress Harlowe. Both darkened ears were perked eagerly, waiting to catch the first sound to alert his arrival at the borders. Would he come? Would he appreciate her gifts? Clover shuffled the books from her one hand, and cradled them against her chest with the other arm.
Instantly, the girl beamed at the sound of foot fall. Straw eyes watched the surrounding area, watching for movement. When she detected the form of another, her smile faltered slightly. It was not the cream and seal-point boy she had been hoping to see, but rather a black and white young woman Clover did not know. She could only hope the lady wasn’t here to scold her, and send her off on her way. After all, Dahlia wasn’t particularly known for its pleasant relationship with Inferni.
"Oh, hi there," her soft voice chimed, while her eyes studied the vibrant crimson that stared back. She suddenly felt very vulnerable and somewhat foolish for being there, and was glad her tawny fur veiled the light blush along her cheeks. "I was just looking for someone." Had the woman realized the call had been meant for Harlowe? She figured it didn’t hurt to ask. "Um, do you know if Harlowe is around, by chance?" The more she stood there, anticipating the arrival of her dumb crush, the more Clover was beginning to feel like a naïve puppy.
