Lightning Bug

She was glad that he seemed satisfied by his answer, perhaps even a bit surprised by it. She knew she had been surprised by how large this land was when she had first arrived so if he hadn't seemed a bit surprised by it she'd have even more questions about the land he was from. Her own homeland hadn't been tiny by any means, but she was sure it was still a fraction of the size of this place. A lightning bug drifted past her nose and her eyes followed it for a moment before she heard him huff, or perhaps sigh, and her eyes came back to him. She thought that her question had been a simple one, but it seemed perhaps that she had touched on something a bit deeper for him.

He didn't answer right away and she could only watch him curiously while he shifted and stared up at the stars. Her eyes drifted down his back while she waited for him to speak now that she was able to see his unusual markings a bit better with his slight shift in position. The light from the bugs and stars made the white spots stand out even more so against the darker brown. She wouldn't have long to examine them though. He finally spoke and her lilac gaze got pulled back up toward his. He seemed wistful as he spoke of his far off homeland. Him calling it his kingdom didn't slip past her and it only made her more curious. If it was really his kingdom then it offered a bit of explanation for his proper mannerisms and speaking. Her brows raised as she watched him stare off into nothing and heard a short growl pass his lips. She expected a bit more explanation when he turned toward her once again, but instead he stared at her for a moment and then just brushed the whole odd behavior aside to comment on how they might have more adventures ahead of them here.

Liviana wanted to immediately ask more questions about his home, but she had to restrain herself since she knew that it was his turn to ask a question. His question wasn't so much surprising in its content, but more so in its wording. She had never heard of a whole land being governed. Even her own home had been broken up into packs like this one was. "Well, there is packs scattered around here and there. Each one has a different alpha and a different set of rules. At least that' what I've gathered from my interactions with them. Each pack has their own territory, but much of the continent is open and free to use as you please. Like this lake for example. My pack's lands are just over there-" she said as she motioned with her head toward the direction she had come from. "Most of the packs seem fairly.... friendly toward each other. Which is strange for me, but no one else here seems to have concerns over it." She was trying not to answer questions about herself that he hadn't even asked in her answers, but it was hard.

She wanted to ask more about his kingdom, but at the same time she didn't want to send him into another thoughtful daze. She decided to just go with her assumption that he had ruled the place he was speaking of and move on for now. Instead she fixed her thoughts on the 'us' he had used when he talked about adventures here. "So there's someone with you then?" She didn't see anyone else around, but maybe they were just gone for the moment.
