Hold up

Walk | Talk | Think

Oh good, a friendly one, Gale thought with relief. The moment the wolf looked in her direction, he smiled, and she quickly jumped to the conclusion that he would be willing to answer her questions. It was good luck, all things considered, though given her brothers record for hiding it was still unlikely that she would receive good news. Quit being so pessimistic, she scolded herself, you've done this once already, you can find your brother too.

She drew nearer and slowed to a stop as the tall wolf agreed to help her, and delighted by his answer, Gale replied back in a peppy tone, "That's what I wanted to hear." But even as she opened her mouth to start offering a description, maybe even characteristics of Arcus, something about the way the wolf looked at her struck her as...odd. He stared at her intently, curiously, and as she hesitated with her answer she realized why. He knew her, had met her once upon a time when he had sleep walked all the way practically to Donostrea's border.

At first, Gale was skeptical, and it showed in the narrowed set of her eyes and the disbelieving curve of her lips. But as she eyed him, noting the spot around his eye and the mismatched colors those eyes sported, she was forced to admit he spoke truth. "No way," she stated with obvious surprise. "But," she remarked, lifting a paw and holding it out a short distance above the ground, "you were only this big when I found you." And he was most certainly not that height now. She actually had to look up in order to meet his gaze, at least when he was not lowering himself to her level.

The news clearly stunned her, but with a gentle shake of her head, the grey and lavender wolf tried to clear her thoughts. "Well it's...good to see you've grown," Gale added, feeling suddenly awkward and more aware of her age than before. And because she hated being aware of it, she quirked one corner of her lips into a smirk and teased the not-so-little kid because she could, "You're not lost again, are you?"
