She couldn’t help but watch him approach with her intent silver gaze. His large form towered above her own small frame but Ballad didn’t flinch. She felt herself become a little shy at how close he was, the butterflies in her belly growing stronger. Ballad shifted with her own internal discomfort, both wanting him closer and farther away for different reasons. She explained herself and he followed up with a question as a look of disbelief fell over him. "Do you not remember... anything at all?" Had she allowed herself to show emotions in her face Ballad might have looked ashamed. Corvus apologized as soon as he said it though, as though he could tell her feelings.

Ballad took a deep breath, he seemed interested and she wanted to explain herself. ”Well, not everything.” She started, signing nervously with her left paw. ”I knew my name, and my brothers name. I know how to fight… but everything before the moment i woke up is gone.” Words for mourning and sadness were signed as her gaze fell to the ground. ”Not knowing who I am has been… Terrifying.” The girl’s words were a soft whisper as her toes trailed in the dirt at her paws. She didn’t know why she was being so upfront with him, but he’d been polite and seemed to care about what she said.
