Briefly Ara found her eyes straying to the cat that stood at Callisto's side. A friend of sorts? She couldn't help but think of Novel's friend Elohim, who had been scarce for some time, and wondered if these two shared a similar relationship. She wasn't offended by the blank, vaguely disinterested look she was offered -- she remembered the same sort of demeanor from her when they'd met as kids. It was not at all unlike the look that Steel usually wore, she thought to herself, feeling a pang of sadness at the thought. She was grateful when a spark of recognition began to shine in the other girl's blue eyes. Ara would offer a small, encouraging smile to her, nodding in turn. It would've been impossible for her not to remember Callisto, though their meeting had been brief. Faces were not something she forgot easily; she was content that her life had been simple enough that she could recall their meeting with ease. "And you told me about not liking mint," she'd add gently, remembering. The day came back to her slowly, as she examined Callisto quietly. "Lavender is still my favorite though," she admitted a bit bashfully. Perhaps because it had been one of the first she'd ever really collected, or maybe because it had always helped her father's pain and had helped him sleep.. and the scent was quite pleasant, too. Her head would dip again in a nod as Callisto reminded her of her name. "I'm Ara," she'd tell her gently. "Weren't you.. in Ludicael then? As a child?" She remembered being told that, and it struck her was quite interesting now. Had the pack been ruled by Jupiter then, the same woman that had enslaved so many wolves here before her death? It was curious, and she tilted her head as she considered how the pieces might connect. |
