The festival that was ongoing had not been of much concern to the Consul. They had sent one of their members to set up an activity so Crimson Dreams' presence would be known, but when an invitation had been sent inviting herself and Anu to a feast where all the leaders of the packs would be present they had both declined. Savina had had no intention of putting herself in a situation where she would be faced with both Naniko and Jazper. There was too much bad blood and she was not about to put herself through that kind of torture without cause. She had more important things to concern herself with.
Finally however, she had decided to make the trek to the festival to look around out of mere curiosity. The Italian had not come alone either—Vespasian had followed her from on high all the way. Why the osprey had taken an interest in her was beyond her knowledge, but she had to admit she enjoyed the raptor's company. The only major inconvenience was their inability to communicate well with one another. He could make some garbled speech that she understood at times, and she had done her best to learn some of his, but they were so different and she had so little knowledge of the way his kind spoke to one another. Vespasian was able to observe her interactions with her pack, but she had never seen him with another osprey.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the gathering, the Marino shifted into her bipedal form. Perhaps while she was here she could find some sort of leather cap for her shoulder so Vespasian could perch there without his talons digging into her flesh. For now the best they could do was for the sea eagle to soar from branch to branch above her head. Emerald eyes soaked up all the sights of the various stands and luperci who crowded the space. It reminded her of the two times she had ever seen Rome. If only she had been able to spend more time in that magnificent city when she was still in her homeland. Hopefully she would see it again before her days on this earth were done.
