OOC
To be a part of the pack, especially as a high ranking member, it meant really being active around the other canines. Hotaru wasn't the best with social situations, a lot of subtle conversational clues were lost on her. Half of all conversations were through body language, something Hotaru could show but not receive. It made interacting with other's awkward and strange, almost unpleasant at times. Hotaru's near self exile in her first few months had been a combination of the awkward feelings, deep trust issues, and grief. Now with two of the three factors diminished, if not gone entirely, it was time for her to get over the last hurdle.
Quick steps, almost stampeding through the village, suddenly danced in one place and a low growl pierced the air. Hotaru halted, her own heckles raised and her tail shot into the air. Immediate dislike for the new female implanted itself into the grey wolf and she made no moves to hide or quell her anger. Hotaru was the higher ranking wolf and she would get the respect she deserved. "Who do you think you are, newcomer, to treat a Tessitore di Sogno that way?" Anger rippled through Hotaru's voice and her lips pulled back into a low growl of her own. The blind female's ears strained forward and her whole body commanded respect from the other.
Despite Hotaru's ferocity and anger, this was not how she wanted to greet the new members of d'Arte. Hotaru wanted to become their role model, someone they could look to for help. Yet that thought was drowned by her overcompensating need to be respected despite her disability.
