Steal my breath away: Seren

She was surprised at his answer - he did not consider the view lovely? Her visage would shift into one of surprise, with a hint of concern - but she would not lose that friendly smile even among the curiosity. Had something happened to this male? She couldn't imagine what it was, but Lyric was not one to pry without good reason. As he continued to speak, she would settle beside him - sitting down and letting her tail curl around her feet - so long as he didn't move or give a warning for her to give him more space. He seemed to be a friendly brute, despite the faint aura of mystery that seemed to flit about him. "The stars lead me home after I was lost for weeks. Stargazing never got old for me." She would explain, at least a little, why she held her opinion of the view. "But the moon is always brighter, even when it's a sliver." She imagined that it was large, like another sun in the sky - but more gentle, less hot and more forgiving.


She didn't understand what he meant by curving the world though, and she would tilt her head slightly - she had never received a lesson on how the tides worked, her home to this day had never been beside the ocean. "How does it do that? Curve the world, I mean." The female was always ready to learn more about the world - it was why she was a little while away from home, to learn what she could about herbs on her own while the weather was right.


He would introduce himself as Alpine, and her mind would drift to the mountains - the name suited him. Crisp air and vast forests seemed to be where he was born and raised, to her, he almost seemed to carry some of that with him. When asked her own name, she would blush at the compliment, her lips parting and a gentle laugh spilled from within her. That might have been the very first time she was complimented that way - she would remember it - it was nice. And there was something honest about his statement too - glancing at his blue gray gaze, he didn't strike her as a lupine that often taunted or teased."My name is Lyric, it's a pleasure to meet you Alpine. Are you new to these lands - to Alacritia?"
