Alyssum tilted her head at Itzal's devious smile, wondering why he was making such an expression. But, it seemed not too mischievous, and more friendly than devilish. Though he did look cocky, it soon toned down as he spoke again. It seemed that he was actually new to the pack, which made Alyssum feel a little more senior, even if it only by a centimeter; more coyotes have been joining Inferni lately, which takes up the young woman's time just to try to track them down and at least say hi to them, though she hadn't done so in the past for days. As much as she would like to at least each pack member once, it seemed like an impossible task, what with newer members joining every other week or so, and some who liked to be secluded.
"You can just called me Alyssum. De Fonte is my father's last name, but I usually just go by Alyssum." When she was a pup, she had a nasty dislike for her last name, since it seemed to make all the adults in her old pack angry at her for speaking of the "heathen" of a coyote that was her father; they disliked "half-bloods", half coyote and half wolf, and they especially didn't like their spawn like the young woman. But, over time, she grew to adore her name and wear it boldly, in case maybe one day some of her father's family could find her. It was strange, though not uncommon, to hear that Itzal did not have a last name. Some coyotes and wolves of 'Souls were not born with parents with titles, and just had their first name alone, though over time they adapted their own.
"Its good to make your acquittance as well, Itzal,"Alyssum agreed, giving a little bow by dipping her head and slightly bending her forelegs, as if in a curtsy. When she looked back up, she saw that the hybrid had stepped a little closer to inspect her, which made her feel self-conscious. But, she took this chance as well to look over the boy. He looked similar to her, with coyote features yet with hints of wolfish appearance mixed into as well, but the coyote blood was the dominant form.
