hearing ghosts

At the appearance of another wolf, Oberon slowed to a stop, peach and black head tilting slightly as he examined the other in the momentary silence. For a moment it seemed as if she would continue on her way without saying a word - certainly he would have done the same if he had been the one approaching a stranger, but then Oberon knew that he was often the exception rather than the rule. The wolf pricked his ears towards her as she began to speak, offering an introduction and a simple question. For a moment, Oberon found himself thrown by the question, but spoke easily enough at any rate, voice quiet. "I'm Oberon Illiadis." He wasn't sure if his family name would mean anything to this female; his mother was infamous but perhaps she was young enough that she would not have heard of Jupiter. And even if she had, there was no guarantee that she would know Jupiter's last name. He lapsed into silence for a moment, considering his answer for a moment. "I'm just wandering." He said at last, shrugging slightly. Was he just passing through? Probably. But it was possible that he might spend a night or two here. He made no promises about his plans for these lands. "And you?" Never one to waste his words, he let himself fall silent again as he waited for her response. Was she simply a wanderer, like himself, or did she live nearby? He was sure that some wolves had to; these lands had ample prey and enough space that one could avoid strangers when they came through. speech, |
