This place was... interesting. She hadn't meant to stumble upon it, but once someone stepped paw in the desert, getting lost was easy. Wandering west from Fern Gulley, looking for something interesting, something she hadn't seen before, it wasn't long until she was turning in circles. Dizzy, most likely dehydrated, Calliope was surprised when a gust of wind blew by and revealed a staircase seemingly out of nowhere. Maybe she could find something down there?
Descending the stairs, a large arena opens before her. This definitely had been something once upon a time. Her eyes go wide as she traverses the aisles down to the open area that is all dirt and sand. Hopping down over the railing, Calliope lands with a thud. Her movement echoes, but she can't ignore her thirst anymore. Thankfully a small opening on the wall where an ornate bowl and decoration protruded from it seemed to magically hold crystal clear water. It poured from the strange animal's mouth and slowly overflowed over the edge of the bowl. Quickly slaking her thirst, she steps back and turns back to face the center of the colosseum.

The thud of paws against packed dirt has Calliope whirling around. Water still drizzles from her jowls as she stares at the bulky figure of the stranger. He stands there, clearly not noticing her, yet. Holding back a moment to assess the situation, Calliope allows her pale gaze to rove over his form, the muscles, the contrast of vibrant against dark, how the bridge of his muzzle is shapely, everything about him screams different. Interesting, indeed. Definitely someone she wants to be closer to.
So closer she went. Doing nothing to hide her approach, she calls out to him from across the arena. "You!" Calliope's voice is raw, maturing in such a way that one might mistake her for an old woman that smoked way too many cigarettes. "Ever been here before?" She stops a good ten feet or so from him, those appendages reaching out from his legs looked like nothing she wanted to mess with, yet. Not until she had a better idea of who he was and how far she could push his buttons.

Truthfully, Calliope was only aware of her surroundings when she was looking to make sure she wouldn't get jumped. When you're born into a family that partakes in violence for a living, you tend to grow up a tad paranoid. Whether the arena had once been full of wolves or used for bloodshed was lost on the young girl because all she can see is the blue and red wolf approaching her. Meeting in the middle, both of them looking each other up and down. Was there a tension there or was she imagining things?
Her brow furrows a bit, head canting to the side. He didn't know much about everything? All of Boreas? Cal's ears flick backward and she finally glances around. Notices the dirt, how bright the sun shines down, the many stairs and seats for thousands. Sure, she didn't know anything about this place either or much of many lands around Boreas, but she at least knew of some of them. Well, he wasn't giving her much, was he.
Turning her gaze back to the man, she thinks for a second. "What's your name? Where'd ya come from?" Her tone is more demanding than curious. Cal would get answers whether he wanted to give them or not.

Calliope watches as the man moves back into the shadows. One of her brows raise in question. Did he not enjoy the heat of the sun beating down from above? Not that she was particularly fond of it either, but she wouldn't let it beat her either. Her mouth opens slightly, tongue panting, trying to regulate her temperature. Okay, so maybe it is a bit hot and the air very dry compared to her normal place of residence. The sticky heat of the south was more preferable than this arid desertscape.
When his introduction is said, she turns her gaze back to him. "Well, Ronan Reyes of Nueva York," her words are drawn out, body transitioning into a more aggressive posture. "I am Calliope Fallen, if you care to know," she continues to step toward the shadows where he lingers. "Since we're already in the view of so many, care to take me up in a spar?" Calliope cants her head once more, a daring smirk playing along her lips.

His short and terse response is good enough for her. Calliope doesn't think herself much of a talker and is pleased to get the show going. Her own gaze regards the man. Not much taller, but bulkier and more mature. She still had her own growing to do and thus was also very inexperienced. Yet, she wouldn't gain any if she didn't try, right? Not that fighting a large stranger with weird fucking wings was the best choice either.
When he lunges forward, Calliope quickly turns around so that her hind end is facing toward him. Noticing how he lowered his head to try and bash her, she'd rather her ass have a bruise than be knocked out from his thick noggin'. When he does collide, Calliope grits her teeth, letting out a grunt as she's shoved forward. Using the momentum of being shoved, Calliope curls her front half back toward the man and aims to bite down on his cheek.

She is young, sure, but if she learned anything from her parents, it was to never expect strangers to be nice. When your own family wasn't beneath kicking you to the curb, why would a stranger treat her any better? Not even expecting the man to allow her to get a chance to bite at his cheek, she has to react quickly. His teeth are coming to meet her, aiming right for her nose. Fuck. What should she do?
Tilting ever so slightly, Calliope meets him right back in the middle and aims to latch onto his lip. If he wanted to go for the sweet spots, she would too!
