I always feel like someone else She smelled her approaching company before she saw her. It welled up upon the wind, stronger than the traces of wolves past and all but blocking out those faint hints of previously spilled blood. Her eyes snapped in the direction of the aroma and briefly echoed surprise. The she-wolf she spotted appeared to be almost comfortable. Confusion washed over her. How was it that she could possibly be comfortable roaming around such a place? Perhaps her eyes were deceiving her. For all that body language was generally reliable it was possible to be tricked every now and then. Or maybe she was just the kind of wolf that was unmoved by such eerie lands. The thought made Spero inch just a bit closer to the land as she stared at the approaching fae. While the wariness had initially been strong it dissipated quickly enough upon the stranger speaking. Not to mention that her demeanor was generally a pleasant one. Spero straightened herself up so that she was no longer practically pushing against the ground. A bit of that caution was there of course but it was now largely overshadowed by curiosity. When she spoke her voice was light but tinged with the very interest that pushed her to speak. "Bevroren? I haven't heard of it... is this place part of it? It smelled... odd. Like plants and water but also wolves, lots of wolves, and blood. Old blood. The smell though, it lingers." Not that she doubted that Athena wasn't able to smell it herself. In fact she couldn't help but feel a little silly even as she was speaking. Yet she couldn't manage to keep the words from spilling out of her mouth. For all that the stranger claimed that it wasn't that bad it certainly managed to put her on edge. Still, that wasn't reason enough to potentially embarrass herself. It was an an attempt to undo any damage she may have done that Spero added in what she hoped was a slightly more dignified voice, "I'm Spero. And no, I haven't been here before. Or anywhere near here as a matter of fact. I am sorry if I trespassed on your territory without noticing though. I mean I didn't notice any borders but... I'm sorry. If I did cross something, I mean." |
