As she watched, his eyes caught upon something. Feather, perhaps, as his head turned sharply towards her. There was a silence between them, and she felt.. Captivated, strangely, by the intensity she felt in him. There was an old wisdom in his eyes, grief and regret that hurt her. He reminded her of family, through she could not fathom why. Only a moment passed, through neither of them broke the silence, before he reacted to her. His hackles raised, and there was war in the ashen tone of his gaze. He looked.. Powerful, in a way no other wolf had struck her as so. She felt her knees bend slightly, centering her gravity. She made no aggressive motion towards him, even as she prepared herself for his assault. Her tense wait dragged on, and the fight bleed from his muscles, he softened as through a change overcame him from the inside as well as the out. It longer moments before she let herself relax. She had only scrapped at the edges of what it meant to be a soldier, and some part of her knew that he could have ended her then, if he had wished it. It was the cry of Feather who circled above her, that let her muscles loosen, and an almost sheepish expression crossed her muzzle, through she had not been the one to instigate the hint of violence. She shook loose her stiffened joints and felt herself freeing a little from the spell this strange wolf seemed to have woven around her, just by his mere presence. When he spoke, there was a roughness to his voice that hinted that it had been a while since he used it. Yet, his voice allowed her to calm a little further. Whatever first instinct seemed to have overcome him, it had clearly passed. “Forgiven.” she said, her own voice soft, letting the whipping wind of the cool north drag her words towards him. “Do I… know you?” she asked, letting a hint of confusion bleed into the words. He spoke to her as though he knew exactly where she was from. |
