Transparent Soul

Her turquoise gaze lifted with surprise when she heard someone greet her, her eyes landing on the very dirty and dusty form of Hikaru. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't even noticed the smaller male approaching her. "Oh, good evening, Hikaru," she replied with a soft smile. She had kind of assumed that might be the end of it since they only ever really saw each other in passing going in and out of the den they collectively shared, but to her surprise he invited her to go down to the water with him while he cleaned himself up. For a moment she didn't really know how to answer, wondering if she was even in the mindset to be good company, but since this was the first time she had ever really gotten a chance to talk with Mortis'... friend? Partner? She wasn't even really sure what to call him - she didn't want to pass it up. She smiled a little wider after a beat of thought and gave him a nod, rolling to her paws. "Sure!"

She waited for him to be ready to go and then walked down toward the water's edge beside him. It hadn't really occurred to her how it was strange that they had been living in the same den for most of a season without actually talking to each other. Although, if she was being fair to herself, she hadn't really spent that whole season staying in the den since she had often slipped out to go stay with Artorias instead. "You and Mortis are pretty close, huh?" she asked conversationally as they walked, trying not so subtly to figure out what kind of relationship he had with her brother and start learning more about him in the process.
