She often didn't come to Cetus, despite her proclaimed 'family' living here. It was a family of which she only knew one member, Dragon, who seemingly formed it with his own friends with the help of a giant sea-serpent he called 'father.' Willow had often found better company with Adeyemi; but 'family' was the wrong term to describe her relationship with her hatch-mate. It went beyond that, as if they were two of the soul.

She ruffled her feathers. She was here to... 'mingle,' as she had told herself, but she soon remembered that Dragon was still in Polaris, and the crow was nowhere to be found. Not that she appreciated the company of the crow but it would have been nice to see a familiar face somewhere in the swamp.

This meant, however, she had to seek out the others. She wasn't going to go near Aquarian, which left the bat, the pig, or the lizard. One was blind, one was seemingly mute and the other would probably rather eat her than speak to her. Maybe. She wasn't going to take that risk, however.

She decided to let them find her instead of wasting her time looking for them - they might not even be around like the crow and Dragon anyway. She landed on a raised root, looking around in silence.

She would prefer this, to sit in quietness, at least until someone decided to talk to her.
