Oh what was she to do!? It was winter and she could not leave the pack for she knew boys would get her - after all, that was what they did in the winter months. They got girls and brought them puppies and Calista did not want puppies - no, no, no, not unless they were Swallowbane's. Her luck was not as such though for she knew he to be exactly one year too young and besides, where had he been? She had not seen him for so very long that she had been beginning to wonder whether or not he would ever come back for her. Her singing boy had disappeared and as had her adventure boy, Lynk. This not only lead to her moping about come nightfall but also lead to her venturing throughout Spirane (on top of some moping) without a single clue as to what to do. She did guess that the snow was nice, though. She remembered playing ever so briefly in the snow with her niece, Ava, though the younger girl had not appreciated it the same way as Calista had. Seldom did and even in her loneliness and boredom, she could not resist the urge to bound through and roll about on her back in the fields of white. Why would Amaterasu not play with her? Did she not enjoy the games? It had not even crossed her mind that come spring, she would have plenty of puppies to play with and chase.

Then she would have somebody to bound about in the snow with!

A yip - not too far away. She paused, sprawled out on her back with her paws dangling above her - the sound of another. Like a fish out of water, she flopped about until her paws found their way beneath her and she rose to stand. More yips - so many more. They were playful ones at that! Maybe somebody else was enjoying the winter just as much as she! Hardly concerned with the puffs of snow that clung to her ivory pelt, she took off in the direction of the excitement, her strides long and bouncing. It did not take long for her to round the incline's corner, her opalescent gaze finding the form of the smaller (well, shorter but not so much skinnier...) female. Instantly, Calista stopped dead in her tracks, her head tilting from one axis to another in query - no, this girl was not from Spirane. No, no, she smelt of the outside world but... she was a girl. There was no rule about not playing with girls in winter, right? It hardly even clicked that the girl had technically intruded - such a thought was shoved aside by the prospect of company.

With a sudden burst of speed, her lithe body bounced forward towards the female, her own series of yips exploding joyously into the air. Snow pelted down but she took no heed, instead she leapt forward in one final bound - as she landed, she kicked up a small wave of snow that crashed down about she and the other. Once it cleared, she remained seated a relatively short distance from RAINBOW - her tongue lolled out, tailed thumped behind her and once more, her head tilted. Oh if her father could see her now - he would have been wild at how un-ladylike she had been!

"You is enjoying the snow too, yes?" she yipped, "Will you be playing with me? I am needing friends, yes."

She starred up, hopeful, and her ears flickered back as the thought came across to her - really, she had no... friends. Bane was gone and Lynk was too. Her family were so... different to her. They were all Angels whereas Calista was just Calista the Playing.
