A small snort left her lips and nose at the comment that marvelled at how her ears were still attached. For a moment her thoughts drifted to darker tales of her mothers youth, but she was quickly drawn back to the present as he continued.

The cocky grin reminded her of her mother further, no doubt Morganna had a similar sentiment about Archers, but the younger woman would keep that to herself for now, stamping down the lingering resentment that was mingled with budding homesickness. Questions of origins she wished to put behind her pickled at her skin like briars, though her discomfort wouldn’t be evident on the outside. “Far to the east, near a place called Wildwood. It’s an old world, with old blood. Nothing quite so impressive as yourself where I come from.” Her grin had turned coquettish for just a moment, using subtle flattery to cover for the imbalance of power, and her reluctance to tell the whole tale. Truth be told, the Wildwood was much closer to her Aunt Ravenna’s pack in the Willows, you would pass right by the Pookastone to reach it, but she doubted this man had any interest in tracing down her roots, beyond the current conversation at least, and if he made it that far, well, certainly the Scowle wolves would make their presence known first.

She supposed it said something of the locals that wolves under a year could wander unhindered by their neighbours. Maybe they hadn’t grown up with the yeth hounds, kelpies, pookas and tales of broken children’s corpses she had. “But what of this place? I’ve never seen such a strange cave system in my life... and is your home far from here?”
