Aside from the loose appendage licking at her heels that swayed minutely every so often, her entire form stiffened, muscles tensing as she stood her ground, the pressure of the male?s judgmental gaze lingering upon her skin as if it was tangible. Mismatched eyes never once strayed from the tyke?s lavender even as he allowed his pupils to freely wander her petite physique, still observing his through her peripherals with a sense of intrigue. His coat fascinated the monochromatic hellion for she had never once witnessed the dappled pattern upon another canine?s fur, jealousy sparking within her at the realization that her fur would never be embellished with the intricate markings that his displayed ? forever a blank canvas that was so easily tainted by dirt and dust. Abruptly, she glanced towards her paws to compare their appearances, insecurity breaching her as her pupils raked over the fur that had been greyed by the ash littering the air and the ground, embarrassment surging through her as she shoved her paws beneath the thin layer of cinders and into obscurity. Almost forgetting her company, his vocals immediately captivated her attention as they flooded the atmosphere, causing her gaze to ascend back to greet his own once again, no emotion seeping through onto her countenance. He voiced his given moniker, causing the child to make a mental note of it, but she made no notion to return the favor, waiting for his speech to conclude. Skull tipped minutely to the side as he mentioned the pack he hailed from, oblivious to the fact that there were establishments outside of the one she had been raised in. ?Lucidel?? she questioned, butchering the name in her raspy tones, her vocals hardly audible even to her own ears. She straightened her skull as he asked for her name, allowing the name to roll from her tongue easily, softly: ?Artemis.? |
