An ear flicked when hearing the dark wolf speak, and while he would offer a response, his eyes grew brilliant when the white wolf sounded with joy. Liviu’s tail swayed side to side with a small smile hinted on his lips. Finding a bit of ground safe enough to not swallow up this stone, he gently placed it down for the other to grab for herself.

“M’ go by Liviu,” he answered, clearing the last bit of sludge from his cheek. “That would make the two of us. I hadn’t much knowing of these parts either.” His sight broke away from his company, checking for any other faint figures in their surroundings. He then shuffled his weight to prevent sinking back into the soft earth; his ears perked at Eris’ curiosity of this stone the other female held interest in.

Although he saw the slight gleam it emitted, he couldn’t sketch a complete picture of the bauble. He tried to have a closer look at it with a wiggling nose, if the lighter female hadn’t already picked it up. “It was small, a smooth sorta rock. Perhaps a gem? I couldn’t tell you of what beauty it may truly have.” Liviu’s head went into a tilt again, and his eyes trailed back to Muses. “Does it have a special meaning to you?” he asked her.
