holding on to what we used to be

I am so absorbed in greeting Taika I find myself caught off guard by the others approaching us. It is in this moment I become absorbed in something entirely new. My mind seems to stop at the sight of him: big and broad without being overly-intimidating like the twins I met in the crags; his gorgeous coat of rich blacks and brows like few I have seen outside my old pack; not to mention the striking spot on his head, how like the moon hangs in the night sky especially with the flakes of snowy powder dotting his coat. I am mesmerized by his every move, the way he carries himself, how he and the others carry on in their conversation without making any noise…-
I am flustered to realized I'd been staring while the others kept right on talking- how… unbecoming of a Speaker! I quickly attempt to put the pieces back together so as not to get lost and make a bad impression. I gather the rich, dark female with the white tips was called Morrigan while the… Roman. My mind begins to wander again but I act quickly and reign in my thoughts before becoming lost again. I am acutely aware of a pat pat patting and I realize my tail has joined Taika's in waving excitedly. How embarrassing. I'm… Coqe- erm, Dream Weaver, but you can call me Coquette. I mutter shyly and inspect the snow at my feet, stealing glances of the ebony-and-mahogany god before me. I could be kept warm at night… I muse to myself- or was that out loud!? My blood runs cold(er), my eyes go wide and my gentle patting stops abruptly. Taika! Yes! We should all dance - together! It has been so long since we last danced. I feel I've made a fool of myself, but hopefully I can salvage this social meeting yet!
