Hello Loneliness my old friend.

"I would call it caution" the alabaster nymph stated, turning back to the stranger "not waste." she'd correct gently. Heloise disliked another speaking so low of themselves but in the end she knew she couldn't exactly change another's mind. it was what they felt, and she had to accept that. the northern winds ruffled her neck fur silently as she stood, adopting a soft smile. the other woman had every right to be cautious. the area was harsh, the people harsher.

she knew that she had been cautious as a rogue wolf. sometimes she was cautious still. especially in this land of giants. "well, thank you" her rear declined to the earth, settling beside the pond. it hadn't been a long trek but she was a bit tired. "I am called Heloise, a member of Winterfell" rank meant little to a lone wolf, so she refrained from speaking of her title. her head tilted to the stranger. "do you live around here?"
