Dew Turns to Frost

The footsteps of another were faintly heard, only really recognized because he went splashing through one of the various muddy puddles that littered the swampy area. She watched him as he bounded toward her with a rodent in his mouth, his bi colored eyes meeting hers for a moment before he dropped his rat and looked up at her. He was a gangly thing, growing into himself still - and his willingness to talk to strangers was both endearing and alarming - what would his parents say about him being so very bold?
"Looking for dinner." She answered simply, quietly, her voice just barely a whisper. Her red eyes stared back at him with an amused expression, a tiny quirk to her lips. Around too many others she had the tendency to clam up or skitter off, but this young lupine awakened no nerves within her, and she had no problem answering his question. He seemed to have found his own dinner, but since he was young he seemed to be playing with his food.
The third party seemed to see her before she spotted him. This boy was taking up much of her attention, and between his voice and her own, she had not heard him coming at all. Io didn't react to the older male until he spoke, and she subtly inclined her head to watch him. Listen to him - he had managed to sneak up on she and the younger male, but it seemed that was not his intention at all. Her heart gave a good hard thump in her chest, just as it always did when she was nervous, and a part of her was tempted to leave... but he seemed so respectful, bowing his head to a wandering woman and a child - once he introduced himself, she decided that she would stay opposed to excusing herself.
"Io Sovari, a pleasure to you too." Her voice gave away her shyness, but it held a lyrical tone in addition to the waver. She didn't give him the same nod, but she hesitantly looked him in the eye, and offered him a small smile. Atop her head her ears twitched, a nervous habit, but it was quick - easy to miss toward those that weren't looking for it. Looking down at Levi, she wondered for a moment whether he had any association to this male, Kypsis, but they smelled nothing of each other. In fact - Levi didn't really smell like anyone else at all. It seemed this gathering was consisted of rogues.
