Headed for a New Land

He was obviously so much more confident out here on his own. He could stand taller and more assuredly than she could ever dream of even with a pack less than a call away. Romulus was very polite, a quality she was thankful for but more than that she respected. He had a proper feel about him, like his very bloodline carried greatness and he was a proud descendant of that. She didn’t and couldn’t know for sure, but he wasn’t some nobody slob that was for certain. He joked softly with her, admitting that he was sort of a healer, it seemed much like er he was making th attempt but that didn’t mean he was very good or knew much. Lilith didn’t think she was capable of much more than gathering herbs right now.

She smiled as he joked, if only because she knew so well where he was coming from. Garnet gaze fell from his silvery orbs in her own bashful manner as he looked to her pack and assumed the same for her. Lilith was learning somehow, it was one of the easiest crafts to master when you were so physically weak you couldn’t even climb a small hill without getting winded. Mostly she was just ashamed of the why of it. Because she couldn’t do anything else, because it was there. ”Yeah I guess.” Did she tell him she was out here gathering because she was sick and the girl who was looking after her sent her out for them. Lilith wasn’t sure she would have been out gathering on her own without a purpose from Gwyn. ”But you shouldn’t trust me with anything more than gathering.” She warned him with another shy smile as she glimpsed back up at him

Even if he wasn’t confident in his healing abilities he was in his leading capabilities, with little hesitation he eagerly led Lillith back down the hill. She didn’t hesitate to follow him. Though the going down was easier she still felt herself breathing deeper by the time they reached the garden and the flowers beneath the elderberry bush. ”It’s like you knew.... Thank you. Again.” This time a little flush added some color to her cheeks as she said thanks for the tenth time since she met him ten minutes ago.

Lilith gathered her flowers as Rom spoke about his ancestors having lived here, and being on of the first in two generations. Her own silvery dappled ears perked towards him as he explained. Her ruby eyes lowered to the fruits he offered from his decorated paw as he asked and assumed about her own origin. Was she so obvious? Lilith popped the berries in her mouth, pleasantly surprised at the sweetness. Her eyes widened slightly but her expression was obviously pleased.

”Kind of, I was born in the pack but we lived further north back then.” Not that she remembered much beyond her illness during those times. ”What are you going to do now that you’re here?” She asked him almost hesitantly. She couldn’t imagine surviving without her family, but then again she wasn’t near as capable as the stronger boy. Lilith was lucky she could manage a trip out here to the gardens on her own let alone try and navigate and survive in a world she didn’t know by herself.
