a wild muse appears! quick, catch it! -leaps-
Saul Chibi is by Requiem!
The black teen in front of him now resembled the dark bundle of fur that had been so curious about everything, not so many months ago. Physically, they were identical despite the growth spurt of course. On the other hand, she looked like she'd aged so much since those overcast days in Ichika, she was very quiet now, she held herself differently, reserved from sticking her nose in to things. He wondered what had happened to her to make her this reserved from the world around her, especially when she'd been so exuberant and playful when he'd first met her. Still, it wasn't like she was in his life and he had no right to know about her business- he'd left Ichika, including her family, behind a while ago now.
Of course, there may have been a glimmer of hope for her when he mentioned the tree carving. Her head bobbed vigorously in time to her tail wagging behind her and Saul allowed a wide grin to cover his face. She was a sweet kid and he hoped that something bad hadnt happened to her. The smile faded and Saul allowed his to drop to as she spoke once more, giving the name of the pack Skye and Shawchert belonged to. Saul hadn't met anyone from Cercatori in a long time, but he remembered his reading lessons with Skye, the carving lessons with Shawchert. He nodded to indicate that he knew where she meant, before concentrating on the sadness in her voice and posture.
And you don't like Cercatori? He questioned, trying to figure out what it was about Cercatori that made her sad. Shifting softly, he crouched down, resting his knees on the ground and hoping that she wouldn't back away. Jace was a good mother- he knew she would have left Ichika for a good reason. It intrigued him, but he doubted Dalgina would understand her parents motives.
