Skogkatt. Celeste's brow furrowed slightly at the word. It wasn't a word she was familiar with. In her home country, they merely called felines "Neko" whether they were big or small. Her ears tuned into his deep voice as he began a short tale of the cats that roamed his home and with the gods. She could see, from where she sat, that his eyes had taken a new light. Ah, so this is where his interests lied. Pleased with herself that she could provide comfort for the man, a quiet laugh vibrated her throat as she watched the interaction between cat and wolf. A loud purr emitted from the cat when his muzzle reached down to touch him. Normally, when Celeste did allow the cat to cuddle with her, he would purr, but nothing of this volume. Surprise herself, she kept her words back as he continued on about his story of Freyja. Becoming more comfortable with the softly glowing smooth stone around them, she shifted her weight so that her sitting position was more relaxed. As the dying rays of the sun began fading over the horizon, she allowed her aquamarine eyes to lift up to the man's own gaze. When he mentioned that his wolves were from the north, she nodded. "Mine are from out east on a far-off island," she responded as her gaze turned away. Admiring the scenery around them, she felt a pang in her heart. Suddenly, she missed home and her family. Memories forgotten filtered back in, but she quickly erased them. Instead, she secretly wished she was back with the boy who could also speak her language. That was always easier, but she had enjoyed this stranger's stories. "Tell me more about your homeland your All-Mother, Freyja," Celestes says after a few beats of silence. |
