Zuriel was still assessing the woman across from her even while Lior introduced herself. At the question of her last name, Zuriel gave a small nod and replied, "Yes, it's Adravendi. Nice to meet you, Lior." She tried to make herself relax a bit. There was no reason to be so on edge, or at least she didn't think so as of now. She rolled her shoulders as she tried to shake out some of the tension trapped in her muscles. It was almost frustrating in a way to not have more control over her own emotions. They had been running rampant with instinct-driven responses at the smallest of noises or movements lately. She was already growing tired of jumping at every little shift in the breeze. Her ears shifted toward her new acquaintance when she spoke again, asking about why she was curled up here. She glanced at the estuary around them, realizing this probably wasn't the first choice of most for a resting place. It was quite marshy and the bird sounds were pretty loud at times. "More out of convenience than anything I guess," she replied with a small shrug while her gaze came back to rest on Lior. "Most of my family lives in the pack over there." She made a small motion with her head toward Celestial, "I left a while back to do some exploring and soul searching, but I um... I had to come back recently. I just... haven't been able to face my brother yet. And my sister is here in the estuary with her new pups so I've been staying with her." Of course she wouldn't just spill all her gritty details on a stranger. She didn't want to drag others that weren't her family into her mess. "Besides, the bird song is kind of a nice distraction at times. I haven't been feeling well the last new days so it gives me something else to focus on." |
