Steal my breath away: Seren

Quote:

His answer was not what she had expected - it was... poetic, in a way, but he didn't speak as if he were a lupine trying to impress her somehow with glitter woven words. He was honestly trying to explain to her what she had asked, and she would find herself gazing at the ivory brute, only to look out at the view the cliff provided. His words were similar to her own thoughts of the gentle moon, and the smile on her lips would tug ever higher, her eyes creasing with a swirling mixture of contentment and joy.


Alpine's own laughter swept through the air, a gentle chortle, one that she would find herself wondering about - what was it like when it was louder? More comfortable? Would he ever truly be comfortable beside her? He seemed to be warming up to her as the minutes ticked by, and the female would blush slightly as he gave his opinion of her name. Was she a song? A tune? What sort of melody would she be if she were to hear what others did in her? He had to tell her one day, she wanted to know...


But he had questions too - ones that Lyric could answer at least partially. She had never heard of a pack described as life - but that was exactly what family was, wasn't it? Something to live for - she never wanted to go back to living alone again. "Yes - I'm a member of Valhalla, my mother, Erani, leads the pack. It's in Western Alacritia - you should visit one day!" She didn't want this meeting to be the last time she saw Alpine - he was a face and figure she hoped would be familiar from now on. As for telling him of her mother - she wasn't boasting of her own rank in Valhalla, so far she was simply another member hoping to train to better herself for her family. Who Lyric was most proud of, was her mother - already the girl saw so much in the woman, she wholeheartedly believed she was the best healer in Alacritia. To add leader onto that only gave Lyric something more to strive for.

"The packs I know of are Seracia, Ludicael, Tortuga, Glaciem and Ebony." Amenti seemed to be gone, but she wasn't sure what exactly had replaced it. "Glaciem and Tortuga are more dark in nature, and Ebony is a newer pack - I don't know much about it." She would explain, hoping that her brief namings would be worth something to the brute. "Seracia's in the South, Ludicael and Ebony here in the East, and Glaciem and Tortuga are to the north." If he ever wanted to look for any of them, he could now go about it knowing what region each pack was in.


"Where do you come from, Alpine?" Blatant curiosity would flicker across her visage, and the girl's tail would give a few gentle waves as she patiently awaited his answer.
