[RUELLE]

When Ruelle stumbled upon the territory of the Condemned she arrived battered and bruised. They were like her, in a way, as a wanderer. Looking for a home. She hoped this place would accept her as a true member eventually. Two weeks had passed, and the knowing glances didn’t go unnoticed. She was new. New was bad. At least, that was what she learned after spending months alone in the wild.

She longed to make some kind of connection here. If this was to be her new home, she was going to make friends. Loneliness gripped her. She was determined to shake free from it one way or another.

Initially too timid to make conversation with anyone, she wasn’t aware of the hierarchy here. All she knew was that a certain pelt of black and gray became too familiar to her. Seeing Romulus in passing felt like she already knew him before he knew her. This was a start. It was the day she’d finally approach him instead of sitting by. Ruelle wouldn’t allow any more wasted opportunities to slip through.

”Hey,” Approaching him brought each of her paws deeper into a pit of anxiety. Ruelle did her best to stifle the emotion. ”Hi. I was wondering if you’d like to go pick some herbs and flowers for the Gurus with me? I’m Ruelle- by the way.” She smiled, tilting her head.
