Coli stirred softly, her sensitive ears catching the sounds of the water boiling in the other room. For a moment she was disoriented - she had not been sleeping at home for the past several days - but she was back in her bedroom now, curled up atop the creaky old mattress left over from when the humans had dwelled within. She lay still for a moment, savoring the silence as she stared at the dusty ceiling. The pack meeting last night had been surprisingly fun... The many faces made her nervous, as always, but she found more and more of them to be familiar, and not so hateful after all. Rath had been especially friendly, and seeing her aunt and half-brothers had been pleasant. Her father was alive and well, as usual, but polite as he had to be at formal gatherings. Still, her mind whirled with too many unknowns, too many questions. The lithe werewolf sat up, slipping lightly to the floor.
She ran her claws through her disheveled mane, trying to work out the tangles as she entered the kitchen. Deuce was already there, tending to her water kettle on the fire. Coli felt a small pang of guilt, seeing that the proud woman was still sporting Willow's bandanna about her neck. Coli missed her sister, too. The house was too quiet without the spunky little girl causing trouble. Coli had never been too close to Taliesin, since he respected her need for privacy and had largely left her to her own devices. Still, Deuce must be hurting right now, having her children all leave her behind. "G... good morning, Miss Deuce," she murmured meekly, taking a seat near the warmth of the fire. They hadn't had a real talk in some time, and perhaps now, with neither of them having other plans, this would be their chance.
