Alyssum was reading a book when the knock on her door came. She had finally got everything situated in the room, and while she had a number of possessions, they were spread thin and the large quarters still seemed empty. But, it was a change for the best, she told herself, since moving from the small room on the lower levels allowed her to organized a bit better. She even had a small space for the few books she had, and had only picked up one a mere thirty minutes ago.
She lowered the book as the thud echoed the room, and wondered who it could have been--perhaps a pack mate looking for her assistance, she thought--until Jazper spoke. A smile came upon the woman's face and discarded the book, lacking any grace as she absentmindedly tossed it over the bed she sat upon, and reached the door as fast as she possibly could. "Hey, Jaz, it's good--" She had begun to speak before she opened the door, and when she did she had to cut herself off as his appearance surprised her. He was wearing the clothing she would typically see during special annoucements or events like the ball, and it confused her, though not in an unpleasant way. She noticed that the black tie was a new addition, and found the little thing endearing.
"Is something going on?" Alyssum asked curiously, noting that he sounded a bit anxious and stared at the flowers he held with a rather tight grip. She wondered what they were for in the back of her mind, but decided it was all in due time that it would be explained, she supposed. In any case, she pulled the door out a bit more and waved a hand for him to enter, seeing that there was no reason to hold a conversation at her doorstep when he was a welcomed presence. She, assuming he was right behind her, walked back to her bed, but decided to remain standing instead of settling down into the furs, and watched him expectantly, unknown to her what was going through his mind.
