Watching as the human left, the dark haired woman's form changed to a more black fur covered form that had her remaining on two legs. Her fluffy tail wagging slowly as her blue eyes watched the direction the human went. Her ears perked as she listened to the dimming sound of footsteps. Once again, the wolf was all alone in this dark forest. Before, such a thing she wouldn't have thought too deeply on, but currently she felt a little hollow inside. Yet eager. Perhaps suspecting, or hoping the human would return.

No, Grace would certainly returned. Sure, the human had been afraid, but Zari could already see the wolf blood slowly taking over. And the call of the woods would eventually bring her back. With a excited yip, the werewolf headed back home to her den. Grace was a strange human, unlike many she had met before... But perhaps that is why Zari was so interested.

Throughout the day, she either napped or patrolled in her full wolf form. Her arm fully healed and ready to defend her territory from trespassers. Luckily, there was none. Although Zari had never had a desire to enter the city, Zari was a little curious how Grace would react to such a thing. Perhaps later tonight, if Grace comes... The werewolf could follow. It be at least proper to investigate a possible new packmates home after all.

As the sun slowly fell, Zari found herself waiting once more by the wounded tree, the bear pelt by her side as her tall black form watched patiently.

Back at the castle, Rose was chuckling at the new bodyguard her sister received. [b]"My dear Grace, you are quite fortunate to get such a handsome man to watch you. Perhaps I should start doing mischief as well if it means I get someone like him as my protector. You must agree.... You've been red in the face nearly all day."[/b] the red haired green dress woman spoke as she walked with her sister.
