ERIS PYRE

______________________________

"Eris Pyre of the Ademre," she answered with her full and complete name, hoping it had the same amount of gravitas that she heard when it was said aloud. There was a careful truce between the pair, but Eris found the silence deafening. What would he take from her when he called in his debt? She was a rudimentary healer at best, but perhaps she would improve by the time he needed her assistance. Nonetheless, she hadn't told him she was a good healer.

She didn't like the way that he looked down on her. It was true that she was used to being looked down on, given her small size, but he had a certain air about it that she didn't like. His gaze made her feel smaller than she really was. When he mentioned the surrounding terrain, Eris tensed. "I should get along just fine," the smaller wolf insisted, leaning towards the pit to take a good sniff. There was something distinct about the smell, for sure - it wasn't the typical loamy smell of soil, it was a little bit different. But would she be able to reliably navigate an entire minefield of them? Eris didn't like her odds.

"But," she tentatively began, "if you want to ensure your debt is paid, I wouldn't turn down some assistance." She turned her nose up to him, trying to make eye contact as best she could. Although he was larger, she was more afraid of the quicksand.
