Alana wasn't sure where her paws was leading her, but she had managed to follow Caesar's scent trail all the way here, so he couldn't be far now. All she had clung on to was a mixture of optimism, hope, and a distinct scent, but even she didn't know what he looked like. Maybe it was one of those things she would be able to tell as soon as she saw him, or followed the scent to the end of the trail. The only thing she knew was that his name was Caesar, something she had learned from listening to all the other people talk about him.
As soon as she realized that his scent was growing stronger as she walked down a particular path, she started looking around and whispering his name. "Caesar?"

Seeing her Clanmate stuck behind caged bars, Alana visibly grimaced as she saw the wounds that Bill had created on Caesar's shoulder. "We have to get out of here. Do you know where the keys are?" the concerned tortoiseshell apprentice inquired, looking around for other possible means of exits. She couldn't bend the bars, and everything else seemed to be unbreakable, but maybe Caesar would have another idea. Now that it was night, they were less likely to be spotted as they tried to make their escape. At the same time, it pushed a stronger sense of urgency to avoid being snatched by claws within the darkness.

With a determined nod of her head, Alana stealthily crawled under the tent, still cautious of observing her surroundings before disappearing under the muted colors of red and yellow. Her range of motion limited, the apprentice struggled to turn her head around and look for the key, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a lighter color that didn't quite blend in with the ground. "I think I found it," she whispered aloud for comfort, continuing to wiggle her way there before she finally reached the key. Twisting her head to pick it up between her sharp fangs, she would wiggle her way back out there and return to Caesar's side.

Tilting the key into position, it would take a while before she pushed it around the right amount and heard a small, but audible click. Pulling the door open, she would crouch by Caesar's side and offer her shoulder for him to lean on. "Come on, let's get out of here," she whispered encouragingly.

Even with the choice of name, Alana wasn't sure that she would have made the connection between his name and whether or not he liked plants. It was an interesting tidbit about himself though, so she didn't mind getting to learn more about their new Clanmate. Unlike Flowerypaw, the tortoiseshell apprentice would have never been able to summon up the courage to host her own meet and greet. She preferred to stick closer to the shadows by the sidelines, quietly observing others and finding new information every now and then from an interesting conversation. With a large yawn as she stretched, Alana found herself wandering closer to the rest of the group.
"Hi, there. My name's Alana," she responded in return, seeing a couple of new faces around here that she hadn't met before. Glancing around the group to familiarize herself with their scents and appearances, she would smile warmly towards them. Alana had a neutral outlook on plants, but she found herself fascinated with their herbal usages from time to time, which is why she had spent the majority of her last life studying up on their multiple properties. Her herbal knowledge was vast, but she didn't tend to think much of it. "I'm a fan of water lilies myself, and I find the purple and white ones particularly beautiful."

Wondering what was going on, Alana padded by the edge of the area and watched silently by the sidelines.
