Sage nodded, just relaxing until Celeste woke up. "Odessa brought a bunch of books back for us," he noted softly. "And she had friends coming who can help go through them." He heasitated. "Some other werewolves," he added quietly. He'd been excited but now he was just....nervous. They'd grown up in a werewolf culture. He hadn't. He knew nothing about other werewolves. He'd never even met one. How was he supposed to act? Respond to things? He didn't know.

Celeste yawned and nodded, gazing over at the books sleepily. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Odessa went to answer, letting in her friends and greeting them all. Molly, Adrien, Louis and Jade. They were all siblings, all with dark brown eyes and hair, and a scruffy look to them. Jades hair was in rows of cornrows that draped down her back, Mollys was buzzed, Adriens hung to his shoulders in loose waves with little braids here and there, and Louis' went just past his jaw, half of it pulled into a ponytail and his bangs sticking out.

Sage had stayed with Celeste, though his ears twitched when he heard the knock and Odessa greet her friends, suddenly nervous. "I've never met another werewolf," he hissed to Celeste, grabbing her arm. Hell, he'd never had any friends, period. "What am I supposed to do," he added.

Celeste shrugged sleepily. "Its kind of obvious you didn't grow up in a pack. They're friendly, it'll be fine. They'll understand, packs are rare these days now that their queen was assassinated by the Empress. They're from one of the smaller remaining ones,"

Sage winced slightly. "It's that bad," he grumbled, though he wasn't surprised. "But what if there's something I should be saying or doing or...I don't know," he groaned. He felt bad he was bugging her with all these questions and things while she was still half asleep but....he wasn't sure what else to do.

"Honey, its fine. Just act normal," she mumbled with a yawn as the other werewolves came in and said hello. Celeste smiled softly at them, "Hey, guys,"
|

|
Sage sort of just nodded, shifting his weight back and forth nervously as the other werewolves came in. He'd sort of frozen there until Celeste greeted them, before mumbling his own greeting almost shyly. It definitely wasn't normal for him to act like that....but he supposed part of him knew he was the outsider here, coming into their pack. He probably shouldn't be acting like he fit right in. At least, not yet.

Louis smiled very nonchalantly. "Hey," he greeted them both. Molly waved, Jade said hello, and Adrien pursed his lips and nodded in a greeting. "Well, Odessa told us that you needed some help with some Were history. What can we do?" Louis asked. Celeste explained their situation and soon enough, everyone got to work, going through the books, finding everything they could.

Sage felt himself relax slightly when the other werewolves didn't seem to be any different than anyone else he'd met. He got to work with everyone else, trying to struggle through some of the books best he could.

The group made it through half of the books, finding little to help their situation. Before long it was nightfall and Celeste got up to go feed the children. The Weres got ready to go, talking friendily with everyone. Louis turned to Sage, "Hey, wanna go out tonight? We're all going hunting way out by the pond,"
