Setting
Anne was smiling trying to reassure Zoe and Adrian when she heard someone coming closer. She smelled her scent and recognized her right away, Claudie. She was finally at their reach when greeted everyone "Good morning". She covered herself with her sleeves a little too fast and oddly, she must feel uncomfortable still... and rightfully so was all Anne could come up with for the moment.
Anne stared at the pale girl that was a new addition to Adrian's former pack, and was a bit surprised as she stared back at her. "Hello, I'm Claudie Nightshade." Anne waited for a moment wondering how she could react to her greeting, at first she stared at her expressionless without being too rude. But a thought clouded Anne's judgment, more like a memory came came back to her, the smell of vampires specially the scent of this female and the scent of the blood of the many wolves, cold and dead on the floor. I couldn't save them... was the last thing she thought before her mind came back to reality. There was nothing else that could be done about it, that much was true, however that didn't mean that Anne needed to like this woman.
Even though she had decided that she would not treat her differently until she proved her wrong, Anne couldn't help but feel anger towards the woman that had made her feel helpless. Even worse, she made Anne remember that there were and would be times when not even her medicals skills would not be enough to save those around her. At the end, Anne simply nodded at the woman without introducing herself or giving in a smile, simply a firm nod, Well, this is going to be awkward all over again.
Before something like that could happen, Anne spoke to everyone in the group, "now we're just missing Bryarly right?"
When Claudie came up to them, Zoe turned her head and tried to give her just as warm of a smile, but her uncertainty and still mistrusting judgement towards the girl must have shown through, for Claudie seemed to give her some sort of a guarded look that was just short of being friendly. The vampire girl's presence still made her more than a little uneasy. And she noticed she wasn't the only one; although Adrian was very friendly toward Claudie as if they were long-lost sisters or something, Anne seemed to tense up at her approach. Zoe noticed how she didn't respond right away and how she avoided having to greet her back by noting how Bryarly was the only one missing now. And then Zoe realized why Anne would feel angry at her. She had had to heal all those werewolves Claudie had injured at the night of the attack she had led, and some of them hadn't made it. This trip was going to be more awkward and unfriendly than Zoe had originally thought. It was sure starting out on a bad foot now that Claudie had joined them. Zoe blinked out of her thoughts and nodded in response to what Anne said. "Ummm, yeah, do you think one of us should go check on Bry and fetch her?" she asked, kind of relieved that Anne had changed the subject and steered away from interactions and introductions with Claudie.
