Alena was no stranger to stories of rough lives and hardships. For loners those kinds of stories were fairly common. She had to admit though that his story was particularly rough. To lose all of that all at once, she couldn't imagine what he was going through. She had never really had ties to family or friends, so she didn't know how to relate to his situation at all. She simply nodded in understanding and focused her attention back on the task at hand. Her senses were always tuned into her environment and sharp as a tack. At one point in her life she had entertained herself by learning how to sense things around her and track scents and sounds. It had been a hobby that ended up helping her in her job down the line and saving her life on more than one occasion. This being the case, her ears caught the subtle sound of rocks shifting nearby. She slowed her steps, her senses going on high alert. When she heard movement around them a second time she knew it was more than just the natural shifting of the ruins. She slowed to a stop, scanning the area around her with her violet gaze. "Did you hear that?" she asked softly, her muscles tensed in preparation for whatever was coming. "Speech." |
