FAILWAIT D: 500+
Cambria was constantly thankful that she had her family and Crimson Dreams to call home. The world was a scary place and she knew that she was lucky to have such a stable environment to live in. Unlike some youths, she did not see the world through rose colored glasses. In fact, her view of things was probably even darker than it actually was. Each person she met and did not know was a potential threat to her person and it was only after they proved that they meant her no harm that she would ease in her tension and converse easily with others. The young girl really had no itch to explore the world as her brother and sister did. Home was safe, everything outside of it was an uncertain threat. Why would she leave that comfort and safety? It made no sense to her. Coming to AniWaya was fine though. Her best friend lived here and now she knew Dawali as well. It was close to Crimson Dreams and the trip between the two could be made quickly. She did not fear anything bad befalling her when either place would be within calling distance.
At the Kalona's deep chuckle she almost laughed herself, his jolliness contagious in the best way. He seemed like everything a tutor should be: knowledgeable, kind, wise, and with a light humor. Cambria knew she was lucky to have found such a teacher in the skill she wished to pursue. Her confidence was already growing in his presence and they had not even commenced any lessons yet. This only continued with the next words that he spoke. He thought she was clever too, along with all the other nice things that he had already said about her? It seemed impossible to her blinded eyes that such qualities could be so easily seen by the wise luperci, but innately she trusted his judgment and so did not question him with her own insecurities. Her only response was a small, happy smile and an accompanying wag of her tail. With Dawali to guide her, the task ahead seemed much less daunting and she guessed would feel more akin to play than work despite knowing what they did was serious.
Obediently she followed the AniWayan towards the entrance to the building, excitement mounting to see the animals inside. While his answer made a lot of sense to her, it seemed she had not really asked the right question. She had no idea that some packs cared for animals and used them for various things, especially horses, and she did not know why they would keep the animals around and care for them. "Oh, okay, but why do you keep them? Do they do something for you?" She had kept Leafy, but that had been for his protection and care and for her to have something to distract herself from the accident that had happened to her. The girl didn't know why else wolves would keep other animals. Dawali unlocked the door and walked inside and she followed quickly. It took her eyes a moment to adjust to the lower light, but her nose was instantly assailed with a myriad of new and different scents. Her cream-tipped ears flicked at the horse's noise and her eyes grew wide with wonder at the animal that Dawali touched. Cambi's jaw hung agape as she nodded, yes, the horse was beautiful. She had had no clue that such creatures existed and now she was completely captivated by the mare.
