Both new and old faces were welcoming to the she-cat. The new, because she found that the Clan was growing in her absence, and that would always be great. And the old, because then she wouldn't have to manage a whole new set of friends. Not that she had really close ones anyways - she would have to work on that, surely.
Anyhow, she addressed the first two, Sweet and Celina, with a smile and a nod. "Hey, you two. Surely you're fairing well?" as a medic, she wanted to be sure she wasn't missing out on the injuries. Though, surely, Lottie was doing just fine without her. The panther seemed capable to hold the entire responsibility on her shoulders, though Wist wouldn't burden her partner like that. At the questions, her tail flicked, as did her eyes as she turned them down to Peach, who huddled into her belly fluff and stared at the familiar, and unfamiliar faces.
"Orchid gave her to me as a birthday present." she stated simply, at first, bringing her nub around to nudge the rodent closer. "She brought around a lot of bad memories, but I've learned to suppress them, I think. It helps that she brings around good memories, too." Heavens, if she could bring Joey back, she would. But, Peach was just as good, if anything. Peach was growing out of the pet stage and into the child stage, just as Joey did. And, though it scared Wist that she cared for the somewhat sentient creature more and more, she found it enjoyable that she could develop a love like this again.
"And... ah, I actually don't know?" Joey could've been a bat, a squirrel, a frog - anything, and she still would've picked him off of his mother's corpse and raised him as well as she could. "I guess they're just cute, and they do this... thing, when they're scared or startled?" she didn't want to demonstrate it, as that would harm Peach's trust in the big family that was BlizzardClan. "They play dead and wait it out until their predator is gone, seeing as most non-sentient predators want to chase down their prey, y'know? 'If it's already dead, then what's the point?' kind of thing." she shrugged gently, before moving on.
Of course, a cheesy smile would welcome itself onto her face at the sight of Storm; even Peach, who was slightly fearful of the forming crowd, found herself bouncing around the combatant. "Storm." she purred back, deciding to forego the teasing banter she usually had with him. At his simple question, she let out a quiet giggle. "Much better than a few weeks ago, I can tell you that. I bet in, like, a week, I can even go without this damned band-aid." she motioned to the winding piece of fabric that settled around her still healing nub. "What about you? How are you feeling?" she asked. She waited for the answer, though a few more people shown up, and she couldn't just ignore them.
Alexa and Fadingmoon were the new faces, and because they seemed to contrast one another a lot thus far, she found herself amused with their differences. Surely BlizzardClan would thrive with a more diverse personality group. "Alexa, Fadingmoon, it's nice to meet you both." she hummed, with nearly as much enthusiasm as she did with Storm, but not too much, as not to make it weird. "My name's Wisteria, and I'm one of the two medics here. Though, Lottie's probably the better one." it was a little joke to her, but it did poke at her minor insecurities. Still, she smiled, and answered Alexa's question.
"I, believe it or not, prefer fall weather. My fur coat doesn't allow much room for the summer sun, and sometimes even spring makes me sweat way too much. But somewhat windy and rainy days? Those are amazing." she let out a happy purr before moving on to Pierce, offering the male a happy nod of the head. He was a constant in all of their lives, and definitely one of the better ones. She even dared to call him a role model in her own life, despite not being that much younger than him.
"Good afternoon, Pierce." she hummed, tail swishing behind her. As for his question, she was unsure. "I like sweet things, a lot. I think that's because my tastebuds were murdered when I was a vampire in my past life." she shrugged. "But lollipops and jolly ranchers are definitely favorites." really, any suckers were fun. She didn't have to chew and waste energy doing so, therefore she could do more while still enjoying the taste.
