Shook hands with the devil

As she listened to Tamsyn explained the situation to Sirius, it almost felt like she was hearing it from a top down, third person sort of view and it felt strange to think of it in such a detached manner. She wasn't sure what to think of any of it at this point. She had really only known of Tamsyn through stories and and very foggy memories. Everyone else here was a complete stranger. The bloody mess that had once been Osmond made her a bit uneasy, but all things considered she felt like this was a lucky turn of events. She no longer had to worry about Osmond, the band back home wouldn't be looking for them or expecting them back since Osmond had basically cursed them all anyway and had sworn that he was better than them all before they left, and if how Tamsyn was acting was to believed then the wolves here were trustworthy at the very least. Tamsyn's voice pulled her attention and when she requested for her to go rest in the den for a moment while they spoke Rhona readily agreed and walked away from the pair. She slipped into the shadowed interior of the den and looked around for a moment, seeing that there was two chambers built off of the middle joining part. Tamsyn's scent led off to one of them, but the larger, scarred woman's scent was just as heavily intermingled there as well. It was incredibly obvious that she and Tamsyn were together in some way even though the idea of two women being together seemed very foreign to her. Even though Tamsyn clearly trusted her, after seeing what she did to Osmond it made her a bit nervous to be in their space. She moved toward the other chamber, but that was the scent of a complete stranger so she didn't exactly feel comfortable going in their either. She laid down toward the back wall of the middle changer for a little while, but she just couldn't get herself to relax. Eventually she gave up on the endeavor entirely. It didn't seem to matter how exhausted she was - her mind just wouldn't stop spinning and she couldn't get herself to relax. Rho went back to the den's entrance and looked out at the pair just moments before Tamsyn got up to leave and their eyes happened to meet. For a moment she thought she had been found out and she would get in trouble for spying, but Tamsyn's kind face eased her worries. She poked her head more out of the den as Tamsyn drew closer and she listened to the things she was told. Her amber gaze looked to Sirius at Tam's insistence that she get to know the large male better and she quickly realized that she was going to be alone with the man whether she liked it or not. He obviously seemed very nice - or at least far nicer than any man she had ever been around before - but the idea of being alone with him still made her a bit nervous. But if he had really helped Tam as much as she said... She watched Tamsyn leave for a moment before turning to look at Sirius again. Finding her way out of the den, she walked toward him with her ears back and head low - the submissive stance so engrained in her at this point that she didn't even realize she was doing. She sat in front of him and peered up at his blue gaze curiously. She purposefully sat herself in a way that the carnage would be at her back so she wouldn't have to look at it. Where did she even start? Getting to know strangers was just another thing on the list of things that she was quickly beginning to realize she didn't know how to do. She was so utterly unequipped to deal with the world and she had never realized it until she was forced to face the world outside of their band. "They used to talk about her in stories when I was a pup," she said with a nod toward the direction Tamsyn had gone, her voice soft and uncertain from lack of use. Her own voice sounded a bit odd in her ears, but it was something she would have to get used to again. "One of those stories that they would tell us as a warning for why we shouldn't act out or speak up, as if she was an example for why we should just behave... but I always kind of admired how she never gave up." |
