	When Aldin and Summer had entered the Courtyard, she looked around with mild interest, her eyes falling on each person who had been there before the two arrived, though what both the Wolf and the Crow said did not go unnoticed by the young girl. Settling Violet Cat eyes on the wolf, Summer couldn’t help but let her exhaustion show through in clear annoyance. [color=#00ffff]”You really should teach that wolf of yours to hold his tongue and learn some manners,”[/color] she bit out, clearly speaking to Lydrim while still looking at the wold, [color=#00ffff]”He isn’t the biggest predator in the pool anymore.”[/color]

	Those words pulled a laugh from Aldin, [color=#c0c0c0]”I’m pretty sure he’s never been the biggest,”[/color] her companion said, [color=#c0c0c0]”There are bears.”[/color]

	Summer glanced over at the Noble when he spoke, sure there were bears, she could be a bear. Then there was the last female to join them, her words showed the same type of arrogance that the Princes and Princesses of Lucerna seemed to have, which only placed that very label on Amahle. [color=#00ffff]”No, we are not a welcoming party,”[/color] she stated simply to the other woman before turning her attention back to Lydrim and the Wolf. She wasn’t particularly happy at the moment, she was surrounded by people she did not know, save one, and away from the soldiers that had made her feel relatively safe. It seemed though, that she would be able to gain her freedom finally, she was excited about it, she was also terrified.

	With curiosity peaked, Lydrim and Vashti glanced in their direction upon hearing the young woman’s words. Lydrim genuinely smiled a bit, putting his hand down by Lyros who had an instant scowl on his face the moment he realized she was addressing him. Lyros could smell the scents of cat on her, letting out a brief growl upon the other’s comment. 

	“He’s just a little hungry from the trip, but I wouldn’t bet against him fighting a bear.” Lydrim said with Vashti letting out a laugh. Lyros shot them both a glare, but turned his attention to the strangers. 

	“I meant four ugly ones, I could rip out your throat-” Lyros sneered.
	
	“Don’t mind him, he just hates everyone. I’m Vashti, nice to meet you.” Vashti said.

	Summer listened to what they had to say, but couldn’t help but snicker a bit when it came to Lydrim telling her the wolf would be able to take on a bear. Some could, there was no doubt, but this one here seemed to need to be put into his place. [color=#00ffff]”Yes, well met Vashti,”[/color] she murmured to the Crow while her eyes staying on the wolf, [color=#00ffff]”Wanna test that theory wolf? I would only need a moment before I give you that option.”[/color] The idea of a wolf threatening her life amused her greatly, but it did not keep her calm enough to stave off the rolling anger that was pushing forward. She was tired, hungry and sore from having to share a saddle with Aldin. 

	Much like every shift before, snapping bones were the first to introduce what was happening, as well as the sound of tearing cloth. Well, there went one of the three outfits she had, maybe if she was lucky she would be able to get more. By the time the rather grotesque transformation was complete, a white wolf filled up far more space than the small Elven woman had. The wolf stood about an inch taller than Aldin’s 5’10 just at her shoulder, her body length settling at 10 ft while her size alone was clearly three times that of the wolf that had threatened her. She was not in the mood to play, either he would have to buck up, or he would have to shut up and accept the fact that he wasn’t as tough as he thought himself to be.

	Lydrim and his companions watched the shifter changing her appearance into a large wolf, seemingly challenging him to a fight. Lyros stood forward and aggressively, growing in a low tone. Lydrim stepped forward and had already had his hands on his weapon, the last thing he imagined was getting into a fight, though questioning if somebody in this group or was watching somewhere else would intervene. The rest had received letters did they not? Someone had to monitoring the courtyard incase something went awry, but he could only make assumptions. 

	“I can’t allow blood to spill without good reason. Might I suggest standing down. I don’t want to intimidate those around us, or cause trouble to the one who summoned us here.” Lydrim replied in a calm tone, giving a sharp whistle, making Lyros let out a verbal sound of disgust but backing down.

	Summer snorted and bared her teeth at the much smaller wolf, stepping forward for a brief moment before circling back around to Aldin and sitting down. There was no reason for her to shift back at the present time, it wasn’t like she didn’t need to worry about being naked in front of everyone, she was used to it. She just didn’t feel like letting everyone see her in all her glory even though they had gotten to see the more grotesque side of things. She let out one last growl before resting her head on the back of Aldin’s horse, watching everyone.
