Oh, Peregrine was just tickled pink. This was better than she could have hoped for. The farther back she drew, the closer the male, introduced as Kassander, pressed forward. Before Ivory Ridge? Did that mean Karabela's pack was no more? She frowned minutely, a small bit of uncomfortable knowledge breaking into her facade. "Well, yes. Karabela's pack is no more? That makes two of us then." She turned her face away, swallowing to force the uncomfortable lump down her throat. When she turned back to Kassander, the easy smile was back on her face. "I took control of a pack around the time that she took up hers. We travelled the length of Boreas together first, just for shits and giggles. Do you know if... Is she... you know, okay?" It was harder to get the words out than she might have liked, but she forced them out all the same. There hadn't been too many wolves she could call friend, but she had certainly thought of Karabela as such. Another twinge rocked her body, and the sentimentality faded away. She could question anyone within ten leagues about Karabela, she was sure the wolves who called this place home would at least know a rumor or two. That could come later. She was here for a much different reason, after all. She gave him a wide smile when he shared his name, and a small nod. "It's very nice to meet you Kassander!" He also gave Tsiry more respect than Peregrine would have expected, too. Tsiry gave a small gasp and leaned forward to stage-whisper in Peregrine's ear, "Ooh, I like him." Peregrine rolled her eyes and smiled. Oh, now she likes him, Pere thought to herself. Looking back at Kassander, she found a somewhat dazed look in his mismatched eyes. Before she could ask him if she had something on her face, he blurted out, "You're very beautiful," and then immediately panicked. Watching the male flounder left her giddy, a smile growing wider and wider across her face. She couldn't help but wonder if he was as old as he seemed, when he acted so much like a flustered yearling. She laughed like a woman used to compliments, somewhat shy but always gracious. "Oh, well." Another demure chuckle. "You're very handsome yourself." Peregrine took a few cautious steps forward, toeing the line between her space and his, and not as mindful of the pack border as she probably should have been. "Oh, Tsiry?" The lemur sighed. "Those herbs we gathered this morning. Would you maybe mind running to get some for our new friend here? I can't quite remember where I left them to dry." Tsiry hopped off her back and shot the woman a withering look, before stalking back the way they had come. Message received. Peregrine turned back to Kassander just as the wind shifted, pushing her scent at him. She simply waited, letting her eyes trail over him from head to toe. Handsome indeed, she decided with a satisfied purr. |
