Gatherings made her nervous, even more so than she usually was and the small coyote shivered as she heeded the call of the leader she feared to a meeting with people that would most likely terrify her until she would be allowed to escape. It would be glaringly obvious who the new person was, the one without friends or social bonds to anyone else, so she lagged and took as long as she politely could without upsetting anyone to arrive. By the time she got there several members had already arrived and more were coming.

She recognised some but others were completely new to her. She stayed on the outside of the group, towards the back. The outsider. The unwanted. Gemma held her arms around herself and tried not to shiver as Ulilohi spoke of new beginnings and washing away old feelings, being together as a pack, all those sorts of things. And it didn't seem to touch her at all, the white woman didn't feel included by any of it. Her very sparse knowledge of AniWayan language and lore had taught her that they were a very family orientated culture and that was the problem, she didn't feel part of the family.

Her blue eyes swung around the small gathered crowd, all of them probably knew each other and she was on the outside of everything. She had no family that would celebrate with her, most of her biological family hated her, or friends with which to perform this celebration, and her only fire was the Great fire itself, she couldn't very well rekindle that. The sting of rejection was keenly felt, even Teo didn't want anything to do with her anymore. She felt a sob fighting to burst its way out of her throat but she subdued it only just.
