Esarosa watched the ivory-coated woman scanning over her facial features, emerald gems meeting the duo-toned gaze. She saw the frown form upon Varda's face, as though disappointed they weren't talking about Celestial further. The expression was brief, as apparent curiosity replaced it instead - was she actually interested in Argead? Without asking any other questions about the new pack, she would simply ask if Esa had truly joined it. Ah, so Varda wanted to know if she'd settled. Shaking out her thick pelt of obsidian, Esa stood tall and let her chest puff out somewhat proudly. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I have," she replied in a brazen tone, green orbs glimmering boldly as she eyed Varda, "And I'm going to be a hunter." And she'd be a damn good one, too, she'd make sure of that. After all, she'd learned from the best, and had provided for herself since she'd left her birth pack in the dead of winter, before even her first birth season. While she asked about Miksa, she caught sight of Varda's narrowed gaze, instantly feeling on edge about it. What was that look...? She cringed inwardly as she realized her suspicions and feelings of jealousy were justified. Varda didn't want to talk to her about Miksa, most likely for the same reason that Esa didn't want to talk to her about him either. She snorted and lifted a brow as the woman replied quickly, saying she'd seen him back in the east, but didn't mention whether or not she'd seen him recently - she wasn't sure whether to believe the woman. Esa knew he was in the west, that's where she'd met him last, and it hadn't been long ago. He said he was going to be living in the west. Her eyes shifted to the water and she leaned down to quench her thirst abruptly as thoughts ran through her head, missing the nastier looks the other woman shot at her. So, she hadn't seen him... if he wasn't in Argead, and Varda hadn't seen him... where was he? Her head lifted then. She would find him first and convince him to come to Argead. Her royal emerald gaze shifted back to Varda. But what if this woman wasn't telling the truth? Her hackles rose ever so slightly, remaining silent and trying to read the other's expression. Her train of thought wouldn't fade even as Varda spoke again, with what now looked like a forced smile as they made eye contact once more. Something was making the snowy white lady tense. When she finished speaking, Esa disrupted the silence with words of her own. "Good to hear that you're well," she began in an even tone, revealing neither genuine nor antagonistic intentions, "It's too bad you couldn't come to Argead, it would be nice to have a familiar face around. Maybe if I can find Miksa... since you haven't seen him, he must still be alone." Openly, she would shoot Varda a glare through slit eyes, ears folding back slightly. If the woman was lying about having seen him, Esarosa would get her way soon and find out one way or another. She'd be found out eventually if she tried to with hold anything. If their friend truly hadn't been seen, then she would go to find him and she'd not rest until she had. I won't lose to Varda... I can't! |
