Something seemed strange about the boy. He shifted his weight as if it was a motion he knew he should be doing, as well as slightly hunching his shoulders. The signs of aggression were absent even though muscles ripped as he sighed out a cautious answer. Even though a wary expression slightly scrunched the male’s emerald eyes, the girl couldn’t help taking to him. An earthy fragrance confirmed her inquiry about him being a traveler, which only brought back unwanted memories. Clearly, this male had seen better days than she did during her travels. But something in his scent made her heart clench.
“Where we stand is a territory named Cour des Miracles in the land of 'Souls. Would you like to join us?”
The silver girl’s voice was softer now. Her claws clicked on the sparse stones among the ground, a subtle warning to the travel that if things turned over she had claws and wasn’t such a female not to use them. Even if things did get bad, she could always easily call Vigilante and delay the fight until he arrived. She would have to summon him at one point during this exchange. But her chest seemed cave in against her lungs, making breathing a little harder.
Ever had only ever had a Vigilante and an Ayita. They had taken her in when she needed someone but there was only space. But even though she was spending time with them and they were caring for her, that didn’t mean she should take advantage of it. The female was over one years, plenty old enough to defend herself. Despite the troublesome thoughts, the girl remained a stiff poker face, as always. She was gifted at hiding things. The dull glaze in her eyes expressed her boredom as she looked on at the patched male. Ever had done multiple joining exchanges and by now she was just running through the list of requirements.
