What I Believe In

Paws would carry her along the shore, head low, mismatched eyes looking out to the lake. Just a few minute ago snow had begun to fall, and already there has been a thin blanket forming. Seraphine thought it was relaxing, the cold of winter, it made you feel. If you were out too long your body would begin to freeze from nose and spread over your body. You had to fight to stay warm, dig a den, curl up i a ball. Perhaps it as having to survive that brought emotions from the girl, made her actually feel something. With a heavy sigh she would finally come to a stop by a tree that stood out from the rest, a few feet from the treeline. She'd plop down on her rear, shoulders hunched and head lifted to look up at the grey sky. Oh how things have changed in her year of life. "normal. speech. thought. you." Awesome table by Raii <3 |

It wasn't till a few minutes after arriving that the girl would realize she wasn't alone. Of course, this was unclaimed land, many wolves would be wandering around, coming down to the lake to hunt and get a drink. At first she would see him, a dark figure approaching from along the lake's shore, then his scent would flow into her nostrils. Head would lower, mismatched eyes falling upon the man who took a defensive posture. Seraphine would silently watch him, not really putting her guard up, which she probably should have in case the wolf decided to attack her. "Hello..." Her voice was kind, no tone of aggression hidden within her smooth voice. The scarred girl would remain where she sat at the base of the tree, the man coming from her right, a few feet away. From what she could see, though he was big, his body was thin, ribs showing and coat not in too good of shape... Was something wrong with him? "normal. speech. thought. you."

She needed something to distract her mind, perhaps this man would be able to help with that, did't matter if it was only for a bit. Her good ear would twitch at his voice, a single word, hi, detached and nonthreatening. That was a good start. As he grew closer she would notice something about the man, his eyes. A brow would raise, but she would try not to stare. From what she could tell, his eyes held no color, just a clouded glaze. They would move around in the sockets but unable to focus on one thing. Was he blind? "It seems winter is upon us," his voice would break her thoughts, making the girl quickly shake her head, her gaze going to the snow around them before refocusing on him. "Indeed, this is the first time I have been around snow... me and my mother mostly stayed in warmer regions." She'd answer, not really giving away too much information about herself, but enough to keep the conversation going. Seraphine would sigh lightly, lifting her head to look up at the dark sky. "Do you like it?" She'd ask curiously. "normal. speech. thought. you." Awesome table by Raii <3 |

Head would lower at the man's reply, he did not like the snow, the snow and cold wasn't for wolves like him... What did the mean? Was his fur thinner than it looked, too harsh for him? But then an obvious answer floated on over, if she was correct when she looked at him, he was blind. He couldn't rely on his sight like most, had to work on focusing on scent and sound, the vibrations given off by every living creature, ending small waves up the paws. But if that was true, we did he stay here? Why didn't he go to warmer regions where hunting would be easier? So many questions flooded her little mind, but because she was respectful, the girl would not ask. A question he would ask in return, did she like it? Head would turn away, orbs looking at the tin blanket of snow covering the ground. So far she did, the way the lakes fell from the sky, gently falling, she thought it was beautiful. With the war and other things going on, it was hard for the girl to linger on one emotion for long, so she had bottled them up, not allowing herself to feel angry, sad or worried, just numb. Ina way the cold would make her feel something different, the ice, tingling in her paws, it gave her something else to think about. Survival. "So far... yes." She would finally answer softly, not quite a whisper. "The way the flakes fall and cover the land, it is beautiful. But at the same time it's dangerous, the cold can freeze your body, mess up your senses..." Was this getting a bit dark? With a deep breath she would look over at the man, an ear folding back against her head as he moved a bit closer but still kept his guard up. "I'm Seraphine..." With another here she couldn't think what she usually did, felt like the man could somehow pry into her thoughts, listen. "normal. speech. thought. you." Awesome table by Raii <3 |
