To Die By Fire

And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

The arrival of the stranger was not missed by Raisa. What at first appeared to be a flitting shadow against the dark basalt, soon took form as it approached from the base of the slope. She smirked, wondering what purpose this dark wolf had. She could get no bearings from him due to the damnable fumes, and found the fact that she had no choice but to wait amused her. She listened halfheartedly to the foxish wolf directly before her, keeping an eye on their new arrival. And so it is that they flock in droves, she thought to herself, remembering her mother's vanity. The obsidian wolf had caught snippets of their conversation, apparently, as when he arrived at long last he remarked upon it. Isabella was quick to respond, while Raisa thought more deeply on his words, waiting for her to fall silent. A queen never need speak over another, her father had told her once.

As it was, when her time came, she had come to think there was some test in the male's words. Wary of telling him too much or too little before the proper time, she answered in kind, with the barest hint of a smirk on her face. "It has been said that fire burns within me, as does ice, in equal measure. I could not preference one over the other. I should think you need be more specific, Master Deteste." Her orange and blue eyes shone with mirth, while Koros looked somewhat disturbed at the whole gathering. Raisa had always worked to keep him safe, but it had never been hard among the court. The silver foxes were revered, honored as servants to the royal family. Here, these wolves would have no such reservations, and he did not know much about either of these two strangers. Raisa seemed to have no fear among them, however, but her tongue could be sharp at times and he hoped she would not unduly provoke either.
