When Hilda had suggested flower picking, I thought it was something fun, like stopping to smell the roses or something. But instead I was helping her examine plants and picking some herbs. I didn't complain though, I was in desperate need of some company so I quietly did the job she assigned me.
I soon noticed her frequently glancing in my direction and thought at first maybe she was worried I wasn't doing it right but then I realised she wasn't looking at the herbs we were picking but at me. Even though she's pretty much the only person that talks to me around here, Hilda was still a stranger to me.
"Am I doing it wrong?" I asked, pausing in the act of picking another flower.
She shook her head. "It seems to me like you and Alpha Xander are going out of your way to avoid each other, the servants are talking and once they start, be sure the entire pack is going to be aware of it too."
