Return of a Stranger

As she stood up and found her footing, he stopped and simply kept to his observations. The white screening over her gray coloration were unique by far, though it was the color of her eyes that caught his attention as he studied them carefully. Something about them seemed off enough for him to suspect her of possibly being blind, but her awareness of his position made him doubt that enough to hold off on coming to assumptions just yet.

As she smiled, he met it with a gentle pulling of his own lips to do the same. He'd nod his head lower just slightly as his ears relaxed and his neck kept respectably level. "Pleasure to meet you, Armai. I am Marcellus Brute.. but please call me Brutus." While he did not hold any resentment toward the name his mother had given him, he was far fonder of the nickname bestowed upon him by Cesar as the first only seemed to harbor memories of the darker times in his past.

When the wind died down, he was able to catch more of the scents that lingered on the woman than before and a change in his demeanor was almost immediate. There was an aura of alertness that surrounded him as his muscles tensed and his eyes drifted along the ice and snow that surrounded them, glancing at every icy pillar or snowy bank in search of the predator that he suspected to be lingering close by.

"I don't mean to alarm you, but we might want to get moving.. quickly. I've only ever caught that scent once in my explorations but I'm certain that it belongs to one of the big cats that reside in the north. They can be vicious creatures, and I do not feel like getting in a fight with those claws today." His words trailed off as he took steps closer to her, gradually experiencing the growing scent that Nox had left on the woman, was it.. coming from her? He had not fathomed that possibility and quite frankly it was a perplexing idea, leaving him standing there staring at her rather dumbfounded as his nostrils flared and his nose stretched to get closer to her. "...but you know that already, don't you?" How odd.
