Walk | Talk | Think
She maintained her stern expression, ready to fight and argue if he saw fit to question or counter her terms. He was typically so compliant and understanding that it would have been out of character for Jakart to become irritated over her sudden reversal of their affair, but then again she could no longer say she knew what he wanted or expected from their complicated relationship. Because of that uncertainty, she prepared for the worst, awaiting argument and irritation, hurt and pleading.
He reacted with neither. For a moment he might have been thoughtful, confused even, but on a sigh Callisto could see the acceptance settle in. Is that it? Would he let it slide, agree to be done with the physical relationship they had developed and just move on? Can it be that easy? She stared, skepticism within her silver-blue eyes as he told her the new terms she defined were alright with him, that he could make the adjustment. Rather than answer, she stayed quiet, watching him as if expecting him still to revert back to one of the responses she had already been prepping herself for. It can't be that easy...
As if forgetting the conversation already, Jak darted forward and over to a rose bush, asking her about the plant as she slowly drew closer and continued to watch him warily. "No," she answered, turning her gaze from the grey wolf to the plants. Pretty blooms, that was for sure, but dangerous with all of its hidden thorns. She could relate. "I'm not sure it has any uses." Maybe that was something she needed to explore better, just to be sure of it.
She was still staring at the plant when Belladonna came bounding back toward them, a eagerness in her step. "Hey, I might have found an interesting place up ahead," she chimed in as she strolled to a stop, her spindly tail up and waving as the black cat looked from wolf to wolf. "Might be worth looking at?" It was better than wandering aimlessly, no matter how green this place was. With another glance at Jakart, Callisto began to walk in the direction her companion had returned from, and let the eager cat retake the lead again and bring them to whatever she had found.
