Yes, she is gentle and nervous and good and kind and maybe a bit naive, but she is not dense. Imperia can sense something malevolent about the beautiful Genevieve. She reminds Peri of Katherine—a girl she grew up with back in her pack, someone who made her believe they were friends through the use of fake smiles and gifts, only to be revealed as the mastermind behind all the bullying and all the gossip. It was devastating to learn that someone she loved her entire life only pretended to reciprocate. What's worse is all the private thoughts and feelings Imperia told Katherine in confidence were utilized to maximize her suffering. Is it so bad that she wants to love everyone? Why must people reveal their corruption time and time again? Peri learned the hard way that as much as she wants to see the good in everyone, she must be aware of ulterior motives and bad intentions. And this Genevieve is raising all sorts of alarms. But Imperia does not want to be rude, so she ignores them for the time being. "Ah, merci beaucoup—thank you," she says, ducking her head shyly. Imperia never really was good at receiving compliments. She loves them, but does not trust them. "A tour would be much appreciated." There is no reason for Genevieve to harm her on clan territory, so Imperia thinks it will be okay to accept the other's offer. Before she leaves to follow the pretty female, Peri pauses at the sound of a timid voice. Ah, the little feline! "Thank you," she says warmly, offering Gordon a friendly smile. "It is wonderful to meet you." And Imperia means it, too.
