A smirk brushed against his lips, a faint expression of amusement that told her things were going to be alright. She let herself grin in response. Despite herself, she was a little amused at whatever had transpired between them. She still didn’t understand why his first reaction had been so… aggressive. He dipped his head to her, a gesture of greeting or acceptance she was not certain, but she settled down onto her hunches. The sound of the waves hitting the blackened beach and the scent of salt that rose on the high winds offered a rough tranquility to their moment. The occasional cry of a gull in the distance reminded her of the world moving on around them, and when it was clear she wasn’t going to be moving on any time soon, her little tree swallow took to perching on her broad shoulders.

She took the slight shake of his head as negation towards her question. They had not met before, and his words would elaborate on that answer. He would explain that he knew of Abaven, the pack she now ruled. The low rumble of his voice didn’t carry too much emotion, so she wasn’t certain what the pause implied as he drew out his answer, telling her it was familiar to him. “Abaven has changed hands a lot recently, and I don’t know how much news has travelled this far, but I lead that pack now.” She would explain to him, curious what his reaction would be to this. What did he know of Abaven? if he had once been a member there she did not recognise him - and clearly he did not recognise her, as he had explained earlier. Of course, she had been born there so it was possible he had been a member before she had been alive, or after she had left it for some years.

“I came to investigate the lands far from home, to shake off my ignorance of the packs and factions that roam here.” which was explanation of her presence here, and truth enough. Her memories did not need to factor into it.

“It’s my pleasure, Xephyris, I’m Shaye” his name was interesting, and not like any she had heard before. It confirmed to her that she knew nothing about him, a fact she came to with some regret. This man intrigued her, baffled her, and she would have liked to have some idea of who he was as she entered this conversation. “It looks like an interesting place to call home. I like it here, there is something wild and alluring about this land. It reminds me of another place and another time…” she cleared her throat, embarrassed at her rambling. “Since your familiar with the North, perhaps you can help me in my quest for knowledge?”
