lay down your head, and close your eyes
and when you wake, the sun will rise

When she heard his words trumpet across the plains, she'd be damned if she didn't show up this time. After just getting settled into the edge, she would absolutely hate to have to rediscover all the new politics and structures of the other herds. So Katerina followed the sound of the King, her face set in relaxed hidden lines. She could feel the tingle of the idea of seeing the whole herd together as one rise in her stomach, Katerina was no fan of mass gatherings. They were so confusing, and she would forever resent such meetings. Reality reminded her though that such functions were crucial for survival, and she was no woman to rebut that.


She arrived soon enough, finding it quite entirely awkward that she had yet to recognize any of these faces besides the sweet Elsa and Tembovu. She offers a sweet smile to Elsa, hoping that the porcelain colored dear was fairing well. After all, the lady was perhaps one of her favorite people she had met since coming to Helovia, she was different to Katerina and the silver took great interest in the snow woman. Then her eyes fell upon Tembovu, perhaps he wouldn't catch her eye, perhaps he didn't want too, but she offered him a small smile, but did not allow herself to hover upon those entrancing blues. Perhaps a part of the silver knew that her looks were so deep, that the silver lanterns of white and coin strands cast looks so whole and emotional, that seconds meant more than the expression of words could in hours. She always feared that, her shield had to grow a defense durable enough for the power of her silver orbs.

Her attention then turned to those gathered, and she tried not to look sheepish with the large numbers already here. She heads to back, wanting to hide in the shadows as much as possible. For any that caught her eye she would give them a nod, but she walked with brisk pace to the edges hoping to avoid any unnecessary contact. Another too seemed to hide(or perhaps there was another case for the woman) and the silver approached the strange looking hybrid creature(what ARE those things?), a little bob of her head showed her respect, hoping that she would not mind her company, she stood near her. A few words slipped from her mouth in hushed tones,  "A lurker I suppose? I am Katerina."  She whispered, almost regretting speaking at all. She just wished that this meeting would just get started so it could be over.
