You Can Have It All, My Empire Of Dirt

The boy's demeanor was a strange one. He looked scared. Or maybe she was trying to read into it too much. Whatever the case, whatever he was here for beyond returning to the clutches of Insomnia, seemed important. The boy she had never met but had ended up as one of her prisoners answered her. Informing her that nobody knew he was here but that he wanted to talk to her alone. She glanced back towards pack lands, then towards the lands that lay past the boy, almost as if she was expecting this to be some sort of trick. Surely if he knew he was a prisoner of hers, he would've kept his distance like the others, no? But here he was. He stood up to continue addressing her, wanting to offer a trade. Her head cocked to the side, dual-toned gaze searching his as he offered his name. Enki? That was his name? She had never met Recluse's younger litter, and truth be told she didn't have anything against them at all. She just liked to get under Recluse's skin.

"Medusa is listening, Enki." Her tone remained neutral, not unkind, as she waited to hear what he wanted to say. Any other wolf might have just swooped down on him and taken the opportunity to keep him here without a second thought. But Medusa had been doing her best to be merciful to those she had claimed from Habari. And so far, she'd been doing exactly that.
