Rock me like a river

The voice that found her ears made her stop mid step with just her forepaws and one back paw still holding her up in a balancing act on the raised roots. Her head turned toward the sound with her ears perked toward him with interest. Although the words that he said were mildly mysterious to her, the baritone nature of his voice was lovely. Even though his coat was much more simple than her own, Amaia thought there was a certain handsomeness to it. The simple markings let his strength and stature shine which was really what Amaia was impressed with anyway. It seemed like a divine stroke of fate that she would have been considering her sister's love life and her own just moments before this handsome man would walk up to her to introduce himself. She wasn't one to believe in coincidences, but it was a tad more than uncanny. She understood the general notion of what he was saying to her, though the bit of flirting he slipped in there almost passed her by. She made herself take a moment to process the words again and when she did she grinned and giggled softly as she hopped down onto the level ground again. Amaia nodded, replying, "Si, vivo aquí. Carletta es mi hermana," she rattled off before she could stop herself. She gave a little shake of her head and corrected herself, saying, "Carletta is... how you say... is my sister." She grinned and tried to shake off how badly she felt that her common tongue was so rusty. When she and Carletta and been traveling together she had used it more frequently, but since she had been keeping to herself she hadn't had the chance to keep it in practice. She certainly hoped this man didn't mind. "I am Amaia," she replied as he introduced himself. "Happy to meet you, Archelaus." Her tail wagged gently behind her as she spoke. "I am... baronet? A hunter?" She wasn't entirely sure what a squire was, but if she had to guess from looking at him she had to assume it meant he was a fighter. The only reason she knew her own title and job was because her sister had explained it to her. "I only live here short time. Carletta live here first and I come too." It was almost a bit frustrating that she had to try so hard to communicate with him. She liked to think that eventually she would learn the common tongue more fluently, but at the same time that made her sad. She liked her language and the reminder it gave her of their parents and family back home. It was something she would always have with her she supposed even if she didn't use it every day. |
