A Little Twist Of Faite

The amount of hesitance displayed on her part before she decided to move forth to further investigate this structure seemed appropriate. But the fact that she did not refuse to approach outright, also showed that she seemed to trust him as well, which was good. Adrian did not think he looked very threatening. There were certainly an abundance of others in this world that could easily take that award. But he was aware that looks could be deceiving, so he would keep his eyes on Faite. He had always been one that enjoyed studying the actions of others, he was one who liked to delve into their thought processes. Not merely to find out what someone thought, but the why's, the reasons behind certain beliefs as well.

He would admit that he was young, and if not that, certainly not old, and perhaps still quite naive. Each encounter he had only furthered his level of understanding, everyone had something to offer. In Faite's case, it seemed to be quite a bit.

She offered her opinion on sheltering in the structure. Adrian found himself mostly agreeing, with exception to one detail. The surface he stood on was already quite cool. He could imagine that in the winter seasons, it would only be worse, even if he managed to gather enough materials to make a suitable cushion between himself and the floor. Though he doubted he would linger here for so long. He never managed to reside in one place for more than a few weeks. And now, after discovering this? There was no telling what else might be awaiting him.

An opinion was not the only thing Faite had to offer, however. Further intriguing the tan wolf, a curious statement was made on her part, which did not make complete sense. How could she be so quick to offer him a chance to return to her pack, when she did not even know his name? Were they nearby? Should he potentially be worried about an ambush? Adrian allowed his gaze to study the lady for a time.

While he would have been immensely reluctant to speak of his pack, where he in her position, Adrian decided this was at least somewhat in line with Faite's general behavior so far. She did not seem like the type to peddle in small talk, which he liked. Her initial approach and inquiry had been straightforward, a clear indicative of what might be a more professional manner. If she was offering this chance, it might also incite that she held a position of higher power within her group, especially if it was lead by her brother. Adrian took note of the details, the pack name, Celestial, as well as that of her brother Regulus.

If she had wanted to hide, lie to, or otherwise mislead him, she probably would not have offered these convincing little details. Adrian exhaled slowly, realizing he had been silently contemplating her words for too long. It was an unfortunate habit of his, and would, in extreme circumstances, cause some to believe he was socially inept. That thought had not always been entirely unfounded.

"I would be willing to.. meet, and converse with your brother." He spoke, sitting himself back in a more comfortable position. He had merely been pondering her intentions, now it was actually time to consider the question. "But before.. I decide to accompany you, I would like to know as much as you are willing to tell me about this pack." Surely she could understand his caution. After all, if there was anything she could tell him right now that would rule out this offer entirely, it would probably be best to hear it now, so an entire trip would not be wasted. Would he be willing to join with a pack again?

That would all depend on what he was told. Packs had their benefits, undoubtedly, and simply considering these was enough to at very least make him consider the option. Even without knowing anything he was admittedly tempted. After all, it was not as if he had anything better to occupy his time.

He had not offered his name before because it had ashamedly slipped his mind. But now it seemed, it could potentially work to his benefit. As a sign of trust now, he could offer it. "It slipped my mind before. My name is.. Adrian."
