Now that the duo had drawn nearer to the strangers, Clover was better able to see to whom she spoke. The other woman was very small – even smaller than what Clover would have expected of an adolescent. It was a strange thing, and her brain could not quite calculate what exactly Clover was witnessing. It seemed as if her smoking had begun to fog her mind. Her own gaze found the lilac of the other Lykoi, and Clover silently praised their beauty. It was not a common color and surely she had never seen anything like it before now. She noticed too that the ribbon wrapped around her tail in fact was similar in color. It was a strange thing, the tail wrapping, but Clover actually found it quite beautiful. In those few moments before she spoke again, she found herself wondering if perhaps she could attempt to do that to her own tail, and if it would look as pretty as Zana’s did.

Lykoi? Her soft voice finally responded, gaze rising from the ribbon and finding the lilac of her eyes once more. That’s my father’s name. Her voice grew somewhat softer as she added, We must be related somehow, and gaze flickered to Daisy’s mane of ivory while she tried to recall if she had heard of a Zana before. She couldn’t remember. I’m Clover. Clover Love Lykoi.

Beneath her, Daisy took a step forward, obviously somewhat unsure why they had stopped completely. Clover patted her broad neck silently, while her thoughts remained focused on the woman before her. Are you from Inferni, then? Perhaps she would know of Clover’s siblings and bring news.
