Alyssum blinked in surprise herself as she seemed to frighten the male, and she tensed as he spun around to face her. She did not mean to scare him—but, she did not think through her sudden greeting, and saw that the fault was her’s. For a moment, she thought that he might attack her, predicting the worst case scenario, but he seemed to realize something and calmed himself. The woman herself readily relaxed, her tightened hands unclenching themselves. She doubted she’d want to risk a brawl with a confused wolf, much more a pack mate, and the confusion making the moves sudden and on the spot. She had confidence, if not arrogant pride, so did not feel much threatened anyway, though, but an apology was called for nonetheless.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to spook you there,” she said plainly, deciding not to beat around the bush that she clearly noticed his reaction. She was quick to change the subject and she slowly approached the man, careful to show that she still meant no harm. “Really now? That’s good, that could’ve hurt the horse real bad if it had stayed there,” Alyssum stated obviously. “You know how to ride, or do you take care of the horses, too?” The woman’s eyebrows met at the middle for a moment in a grimace, and added quickly, “My name is Alyssum de Fonte, Prova—I actually joined the other day, in fact. What’s your name?”

Though the woman would not outright admit it, but she had forgot her formalities; roaming around with either people who already knew you or did not care about your name, one forgot that they would need to introduce themselves. The hybrid felt a little embarrassed that she had jumped straight into conversation, but, eradicated the feeling as soon as it came to her. The way she worded her speech could have seem that she was getting to her introduction, and that she did not forget at all, and perhaps brown canine would not notice as well. It was a strange thing to fret over, but, she just did.
