A satisfied, toothily grin was beaming on Rivers' face. A nice, fat, juicy rabbit was now snuggly oozing in his stomach acids, as he had ate it for his last meal of the day, and all was well. He was looking forward to a nice, dreamless rest, and yawned audibly as he approached the east-most entrance to the common room. Though the walk was relatively short, numerous thoughts were bouncing in his skull, no matter how relevant or how random they may of been. He had been part of the Anathema pack for some time now, but only... maybe a month or two? Nonetheless, he hadn't met many of the others, and wondered if he should get out more, make new acquaintances, and become known. Refrain from becoming enemies of others, too, and be as pleasant as he could. How long would it take to make a few friends in the least amount of time possible? Who knows when one of these friends could come in handy, after all, and his fate could alter in the blink of an eye.
And then the thought of how his life would go in this pack popped up. Sure, he had a group—a family, though the term was very much different, as of now—but would this group accept him? Would his fellow packmates return the kindness he tried to give? Meh, Rivers hoped so. He was tired of that solitary life he lived not too long ago. And this new, fresh life was going to have to be the best. And, by god, Rivers would try his hardest to make the best of it!
As he entered the general common room, he stopped, taking in a deep breath of air. It almost smelled like home. Almost. It would take a few more days to officially settle in, give or take. Exhaling, he glanced around, and spotted a midnight black male sitting against the wall, alone. Should he go ahead and try to make an ally? The darker Luperci seemed okay from afar, but appearances can be deceiving...
Without another thought, Rivers started to approach the man, but kept his distance as he stopped, just in case he was more hostile than he appeared. "Eve'nin'," he greeted wholeheartedly, giving him a smile and a nod of the head. "Nice night, ain't it?"
