It makes it easier for other players to see when your character is speaking. ^^;; The code for it on regular BBcode is: [b*]BOLD[/b*] without the asterisk (*) included. :3 I edited it into your last post for you; you can look there if you're confused! Thanks a bunch. <3

It was strange to smell fresh blood in a place such as this -- they generally only brought their kills in here, and they certainly did not smell like that. The coyote hybrid took a step closer to the other sable-shaded woman, her brilliant chartreuse eyes narrowed as she peered toward the cut hand. “I don't have anything to help you with that,” she advised, and then, almost as as an afterthought, added: “Sorry.” Manners were difficult to come by for the Tuyul, but she was at least making an effort here in Anathema, awkward and difficult as it was for her. “Is it a deep cut?” she asked, wondering whether they ought to head to the more populous areas of the cave and seek one of the healers for assistance.

Part of Eris simply wanted to retreat back into her cave and be with her children, but the woman forced herself to stay put. She had to make friends here and establish a life here -- she did not think Larkspur would be one to depend upon for their social position within the pack. The coal-furred wolf hybrid did not know how to feel about Larkspur, exactly. He had given her children and he had not run out on her or the children; he had remained by her side or nearby since their birth, and even now he gave her this break and ability to meander outside of their cave claim. Through all this, there was the unsettling knowledge that Eris did not, in fact, love him. She depended on him, sure, but did she wish to devote her life to him? The answer to that question resounded strongly within her, and the sable-shaded canine doubted her ability to even make such a deep commitment.

Confused, the shadow-hued woman leaned down and plucked one of the rocks up from the ground. “Amulets? These are just r -- oh!” she said, pleasant surprise showing on her face as she realized they were some kind of crystallized rock. The hybrid woman had no idea what a geode was, and she was not well-versed in types of rocks; she simply knew these were quite pretty. More special, they came from Anathema's very own cave. “I thought they were just regular rocks,” the woman added, punctuating the statement with a short laugh. “Eris Eternity,” she said, introducing herself with that strange surname. It still tasted odd on her tongue, but it sure did feel right.
