sorry i are late!! 300+
Marika had been spending a lot of her time mending the tambourine she had been fortunate enough to find. It was almost an obsession, as she wanted to to create the most beautiful sound possible from the ratty old instrument. Only naturally should she arrive at the pack meeting late, for she'd passed several additional moments searching for a suitable place to stow it where it would not be disturbed. Her thoughts still lingered upon what she would do with the instrument, with lavish scenes in mind of dancing and singing and playing for all to hear. But there was something important to tend to now, and she couldn't waste any more thought on her tambourine. The girl fairly ran to the Hotel, slipping into the common room as quietly as she could, on dancer's feet.
There were many wolves here. She had misjudged the size of the pack upon her arrival. Of course, she was accustomed to large groups of wolves, as there were many in Russia. But she had in mind that this country was a smaller, meeker one that harbored smaller packs than this, as a general rule. The girl's mismatched eyes searched for Rurik and Liliya; she didn't want to just sit in the back alone. Finding them, she moved to stand nearby, gently grasping Rurik's arm to show that she had arrived before stepping back to hear the news. What Vigilante had to say weighed little on her shoulders, as he was the only leader of Cour des Miracles she'd ever known. Whoever Jacques was, she did not care, as she liked the hybrid man very much. He would do well to lead them with a strong mind, she judged. Marika had no words to add, but she was smiling toward Vigilante. This had been painless indeed.
