Reminiscing

Walk | Talk | Think



Oh dear. It seemed she had caught the young woman unawares in a moment of unbridled emotion, and averting her own gaze politely Tahlia ignored the gesture the younger wolf gaze as she lifted a paw to her cheek tellingly. Whatever had been on the girl's mind had been nothing pleasant, or so she thought, though she could hardly figure out what about this place might trigger tears. True, it had seen many better days between the time she had first joined with Seracia to the present, after it had changed hands numerous times and even been inhabited by another pack. Perhaps it was something personal then, something Tahlia would likely get no chance of knowing about.



When at last she could finally present herself properly, the russet and black woman allowed her attention to divert back to her and caught the almost sheepish grin she gave. She answered it with a kind smile of her own, triggered into a moment of niceness that seemed even to veer away from simple politeness, as if there might have been more reason than the girl simply being a stranger in need of a smile to warrant it. "There is no need to apologize," Tahlia answered with gentle assurance, hoping the girl did not think herself judged simply because she had been a little emotional. Heavens knew Tahlia herself had her moments, and very recently she had started learning to be kinder to those around her, family and stranger alike.



But it happened to be the confession that came next that hooked her attention and drew a sudden curious sort of frown about her mismatched eyes, her head angling slightly to peer at the girl more wholly through her good eye. Came back home? That must mean she had lived here at some point. But...during whose reign exactly? Even more curious now - could the familiarity she felt upon seeing her actually hold true connections with a past relation from Seracia? - Tahlia ventured to ask, trying not to be overly intrusive, "You were in a pack here once?"
