Absinth had beckoned Karaka to follow her, the changing seasons bringing with it some fantastic sights. Some she was sure the horned storyteller would enjoy, if she had not already seen them. Absinth had been far too focused on a hunt the first time she was here to care much about the blossoming pink trees, beautiful things like that didn't really interest her after all -- not like the gorgeous creature she was luring here. A hum escaped her inky lips, a mischievous glint shining in her eyes as she cast Karaka a look. "Have you seen this land in springtime before?" She hoped she hadn't, but even if she had Absinth had something even better to show her.

Snapping her teeth together in quick succession, she was able to create a clicking noise from her mouth. Calling her newly acquired raven forth, her real surprise to show the girl. Absinth chuckled as the big bird flew down to them, landing on the ground before her and giving Karaka a quizzical look from it's beady eyes. "Isn't she a darling?" Absinth purred, stepping around the bird with a grin, peeking at Raka's reaction to the bird of omens and death.

Following Absinth was almost painfully easy. She let the older wolf guide them East, simply happen to remain in her presence, and see the sights at Absinth’s side. She returned the green wolf's expression with a smoulder smile of her own. “I Haven’t She admitted. She hadn’t really ventured East yet, and she could see how this territory stood out in Spring. There was so much colour around her, like the world had been painted in violet, pink, and green.

She glanced curiously at Absinth as the other wolf suddenly made a strange clicking noise - and a few moments later, a raven glided down from the beautiful trees. “Ohhhh” Rka said with appropriate enthusiasm. “She’s yours? Look how silky her wings are.” Raka said, leaning forward to properly admire the bird, but with enough caution to dart back if necessary.


"Karaka"

It really did something delightful for Absinth, to have Karaka at her side and so eager to follow her about. But in exchange she had decided to do well in keeping the prospective tales flowing for the story-teller. She craved excitement did she not? Absinth only desired to keep the girl at her side. It was pleasing to hear she had been the first to introduce Raka to the colorful  landscape, her eyes taking in all the sight’s the Nook had to offer.

And when Absinth had called for her Raven, she took joy in the expression that cut across the orange girl’s face. A look of curiosity and awe. Even the bird enjoyed the bright blue eyes that seemed to adore them already, a rough repetition of words following a ruffle of those silky feathers. The words ’shiny’, ’treasure’, and ’pretty’ croaked out from its beak.

Absinth immediately began to laugh, amusement playing on her charcoal face. “Oh, she likes you. Hear that? She’s complimenting you. Raven’s love shiny things, it’s like treasure to them.” Absinth’s gaze drifted from Karaka to the Raven, her smile soft but elated. Telling of her adoration for the bird that was currently peering up at Raka's dangling jewels, trying to decide if those were prettier, or her fur, or perhaps her eyes themselves?
