Romeo take me somewhere I can be alone

None of them were monsters? Irin tilted her head slightly at that, examining the wolf who stood before her with boldfaced curiosity etched onto her features. What did he mean, none of them were monsters? And had he truly thought Glaciem wolves were monsters? How could any wolf think that the heroes were the evil monsters? And to Irin, Glaciem had always been the heroes. But maybe Ryker thought that Valhalla was the heroes. ?I guess you?re right.? Irin admitted slowly, Why, was that a compliment escaping the maw of the female? Yes, yes it was. She was admitting that maybe she had been wrong; that maybe the vivid picture she had painted in her mind wasn?t correct. Would Ryker recognize it as important? Perhaps he would, and perhaps he wouldn?t. There was nothing Irin could do either way.
Irin was amused to hear Ryker?s depiction of a monster. It was, in fact, pretty close to what she had expected. ?Well? More or less.? Irin admitted, twitching her tail slightly in the air behind her, a sure sign that she was beginning to relax in this wolf?s company. After all, if he had wanted to attack her, he would have already. It seemed that he was trustworthy, or at least, not about to attack her, which was essentially the same thing. ?But you?re very cultured. And kind. It?s been a long time since I?ve met a wolf outside of Glaciem that was nice to me.? Karmen came immediately to mind, though there had been other wolves before then and there would surely be more soon enough. She had reasonable expectations for the world.

Was he offering to take her to Valhalla? Irin hesitated, gazing at him curiously as he continued to explain, his words calmer than she would have expected. ?Sadly, I?m not much of a mindreader.? Irin murmured, shaking her head slightly. Mind reading would have saved her a lot of trouble.

A hesitation followed Ryker?s words, and then Irin frowned, examining him with wide eyes. ?I . . . I would never hurt you. You haven?t done anything to me? and even if you had, I still wouldn?t have gone for your throat! That could kill you!? Shock colored Irin?s voice, along with a strong hint of admiration. ?That?s very brave of you.? Irin admitted, nodding her head slowly as she examined Ryker. She did admire him for that. She had always been a more timid wolf, and envied the bravery of the wolf that stood before her in the purest manner possible. It wasn?t a twisting, ugly jealousy; merely an appreciative sort of thing. She wished that he had been a member of Glaciem, in all honesty. He would have benefited Glaciem.

The question of trust threw Irin for a loop, honestly. She hesitated, staring at the wolf for a long moment before an answer came to her maw, unbidden. ?I do.? Irin murmured, ?If you were going to attack me, why would you have waited this long? I do trust you, Ryker Tsarev.? His name had quite the ring to it. She liked it. It sounded very proper and strong, like he was the kind of hero that her mother would have told stories about.

At the mention of fish, Irin?s stomach gave a loud rumble and the female let out a soft laugh. ?I trust that they?re not poisoned, too.? Trust. It was a strange word. You trusted the wolves that you loved with your heart; you trusted all the wolves that you met with your life, for they could easily chose to take it from you. Trust could be so easily placed in the wrong wolf, but Irin thought that Ryker was the right wolf. Or at the very least, not a terribly wrong wolf.

Padding forward with a wag of her tail, Irin nosed at one of the fish curiously for a moment before opening her maw and snapping it up, practically inhaling the small meal. It hadn?t been too long since the last time that she had eaten, but food was food and she wasn?t about to snub it.

thank you seren! <3
