Making an entrance

With his invitation accepted she stepped away from him for just a moment so she could push together the herbs she had been organizing so that they were in a smaller, neater pile for her to come back to later. She also reached up and got her black traveling cloak that was hanging on a hook behind her workstation and tossed it around her shoulders, pinning it closed with a silver maple leaf shaped broach over her left shoulder. She hesitated for a second, but ended up grabbing her bracer that held her dagger and slipped it into place around her foreleg as well. It was the middle of the day and she didn’t think they planned on going that close to the borders, but crazy things had happened before so she’d rather have it and not need it than the opposite.

Once she was ready she turned back to Mercury with a soft smile and nodded, walking out of the infirmary with him before taking the lead out of the familiar halls of the castle, bringing them out to the plains. In the bright mid day sun that was made even brighter by the light that reflected off of the light coating of snow that blanketed the ground the leaf shaped broach and the silver circlet she wore gleamed and stood out against her dark fur and cloak. Once they were outside they fell into step beside one another easily while they made a meandering loop through the plains that sat under the overlooking castle.

While they walked Mercury kept the conversation going, asking whether she had been in the Hallows all of her life. She nodded, letting her mint and lavender gaze linger on him. “I have. Our mothers founded the pack just shortly after finding out they were expecting us actually if I remember correctly,” she replied with a little chuckle. “We haven’t always lived in the castle though. The pack started out in Boreas, based around the Sunset Falls. They decided they wanted to be more spread out from the other packs in the area though and that’s when they found this castle and moved us down to Auster when we were little.” She wasn’t usually so talkative, but Mercury was easy to talk to and very thoughtful with his questions so her usually reserved demeanor didn't hold her back like it usually did. “What about you? Where are you from originally?”
