He had just settled down inside one of the turn offs within the cave, attempting to curl his body so that he could lick at the wound on his elbow and slow the bleeding that had occurred during his travel. His ear flickered toward the sound of crunching snow, paying attention to the foot falls long before he'd heard her voice. His first thought was that someone from Ivalice had followed him out here, perhaps even Ramsay to see if he was okay? That would be somewhat comforting, but then what if it wasn't anyone from Ivalice at all... what if it was a lone wolf looking to prey on a young, wounded wolf as an easy meal? His heartbeat quickened, his chest tightening as his pupils dilated, waiting for what was to come. Then, the words of an angel echoed through the cave and softly kissed his trembling ears. 'Hello?', he held his breath, waiting to see if she'd say anything else while he remained quiet. Then, she spoke again with a charming, nurturing tone unlike one that he'd ever known. How could anything with a voice that sweet be dangerous? He waited a moment, gathering courage before he finally lifted himself up and came around the corner of the cave to stare out into the entrance and look upon her russet visage, blue eyes piercingly placed like reflective marbles amidst a sea of red. He kept his head low, submissive as he would flirt with the side-ways casting light that came in from the mouth of the den, then finally he would allow it to unveil the silhouette of his face. "Hello," he said quietly, eyes never once leaving her though they were round and pleading. "I am Vadim. Are you really a healer?" His boyish voice held the ring of hope, undoubtedly. |
