Moments after the question left her lips she heard someone approaching them and she glanced over to see a tri-colored man dragging a lamb toward them. She looked back to Eniko to see if it was someone he knew and sure enough it seemed that he did. She looked toward the other man to give him a slight smile- that was until he asked what this was. She frowned slightly and her ear gave an irritated flick. Well, it seemed that Eniko's manners hadn't quite rubbed off on his friend. Before she could say anything Eniko spoke up instead, calling her Lady Liviana. She looked toward the spotted man with a small smirk. She wasn't used to being called a lady like that, like it was a regal title, but she couldn't say that it wasn't flattering in a strange way. He introduced his companion and she looked toward the other male briefly, giving him a small nod and saying, "Hello, Phantom." She couldn't quite put her paw on it, but Phantom didn't quite look like a normal wolf. She had never seen or known of a dog before so she didn't know the term for it. She felt like it was rude to ask though so she left it be. She noticed Eniko's slight strain in his breathing, but she didn't want to draw attention to it and ask if he was okay. Weaknesses were not taken lightly where she was from and she was quite enjoying her time talking with the man across from her. She didn't want to risk embarrassing him. Instead she focused on his question and put her attention toward answering it. "Well, in a way, I suppose... We never really considered ourselves "royals" or had any titles other than the alpha. My family led the largest pack in my homeland for generations and my grandparents were very traditional in their ways. Some of it filtered down to my father and to me and my siblings, but it's become diluted over time I guess." A soft, sarcastic chuckle broke up her speech, her lilac gaze glancing out over the water beside them. "Well, some things stayed true anyway. They were pretty particular about having a male heir. That was the only tradition my father was a stickler about. I assume they're still ruling it. I wouldn't know." She paused for a moment, her ears flicking as she thought about her father. So set in his ways yet always breaking the rules. A sigh passed through her nose and she pulled her gaze back toward Eniko again. "Anyway," she began, giving him a slight smile. "Back to you, hm? How'd you and your friend here end up here?" |
