The femme had woken with a start, it had been a few days since she had come home. But there were still nightmares in the girls head. She still had the almost two years of being kidnapped engraved into her memory. Not that kuzon was a bad man, if anything he saved her. But still she didn't understand why he would lie. She had seen Rhyme with her own eyes, had heard him tell her she wasn't alone, yet she still didn't believe it. She paced into the forest, knowing where she needed to go but yet finding herself unsure of where to go. She was in her head again. Lost in her little world. Every step she took, took her in a circle in these woods. But she didn't seem to even notice. Her ruby gaze was vacant as she thought. How could she not be alone, when for two years thats all she had known. She had thought to be the last destruction. Yet there her uncle had stood before her. Maybe it had all been one of her dreams? That had to be it right? Maybe she was just that lonely that her uncle had come to her in dream and she had dreamed of her mother's den. She sat without knowing she had or without thinking about it. She probably looked dazed to an outsider. Mindless wandering "Hopeless words"

It was hard to stop when she had been running for so long. Her instincts were crossing wires, she couldn’t stand still. Run! her inner voice cried at her, but she was so hungry and tired. She just needed a moment… she didn’t want her existence to be fleeing through lands at top speed for the rest of her life. She wanted to enjoy it too, to stare in wonder at sights she had never seen before. She wanted... she wanted the life she should have had.

She was starting to slow, her breathing heavy little gasps when she came across another wolf. Her first instinct was to skitter away, but she was so tired, and the wolf looked nothing like the people she fled from. She fought against herself, refusing to be a coward.

More to prove that she could then anything else, she came to a stop a few lengths from the other wolf. The stranger with sunset eyes wandered with an absent mindedness of someone lost in other worlds. Sera cleared her throat, knowing she was missing huge gaps in knowledge when it came to the most simple things… like how to greet a stranger. “Are you lost?” she asked softly.

"Speech"

She was lost in herself as another came forward. The female's voice cut into the silence as she cleared her throat and asked Polt if she was lost. She jumped and turned with wide eyes, like a pup who had been caught out too late or sneaking somewhere they weren't supposed to be. It took her a moment to discern that there was no danger here... yet. She settled down but her head stayed down lower than her shoulders and her eyes returned to that dulled down ruby they had been. She glanced at the woods around her. Her shoulders lifted slightly before they returned to their former position. Was she lost? She didn't know. Frankly she didn't remember entering these woods. Her own manners were a bare minimum, but she also didn't want to give a wrong answer. Her eyes looked to the woman before her, looking her over, maybe even searching. Maybe she would find an answer to the question there. Did it hurt to maybe ask her though? Maybe she would answer the question for her. "A... Am I?" She asked and immediately tensed and winced. Hopefully the woman didn't strike her for answering her question with a question. She really didn't know though what she wanted to hear as an answer. Mindless wandering "Hopeless words"
