Compared to herself, Caelia would classify most wolves in the 'sort of nutjob-y' category, so someone a little more jumpy than mos - well, it didn't come as much of a surprise to her. She'd seen far weirder than Jasper these last few months anyway. She was just glad for the sun again, and no amount of awkward, skittish antics would worsen her mood now that it finally begun to lift. If anything the stranger was a little amusing to her, looking like Caelia might lunge at any instant, though she didn't make even the slightest threatening movement. Jasper was a curious one, that was for sure. Only the faintest hint of amusement gleamed in her eyes as she watched from a comfortable distance, observing as she tried to find the words to respond to her. Hell, she even relaxed enough to sit down, which was reassuring.. no doubt for them both. "Yeah - me neither, if we're being honest," she admitted carefully. "Nothing at all. Seems to be fading now, but all of it still makes me wary." The seasons had their periods of unpredictability - she remembered the long winter, and in her youth the volcanic eruption, but these last few months had been by far the strangest of everything she'd experienced. The very thought made a chill run down her spine. "Not that I was touched by it - the sickness, I mean - but I lost packmates to it." As she got older death seemed to become more and more a regular part of life, though it still stung to lose those familiar to her, even those she wasn't terribly close to. For someone who hadn't endured it, it was impossible to explain just how dark it had all been - both physically and metaphorically. "You're new to these parts, then?" Caelia asked, figuring she was based on how she talked about things. |
