Voices crowded the air, but she was not a part of their conversation. She was not one for loose gossiping about nothing anyway, which was what she saw this as. She would have been satisfied to learn that Talitha had lost the silly book she had scribbled in, but apparently the story was another. Oversized ears dressed with lovely auburn twisted somewhat at the insult, but she knew how to play this game as well. ”Should be careful throwing private diaries around,” she said, as if she agreed and offered a well meant suggestion to avoid it in the future. Talitha had in fact stormed away and left the silly little thing behind. ”for it would have been a shame if other people learned of your disgraceful act during the first war.” Halo was crossing lines, and she knew it. How much had Talitha toughed up since last time the two had interacted? She seemed different, but how much had changed?

However, she could not help lifting her fine eyebrows as the other Lykoi woman spoke a lie. ” A few months, you mean.” Talitha was a traitor. How dared she pretend otherwise in such a fashion. But now the newcomer with the strange name caught her attention. Ruby wandered to the name carved into the tree. She would have to agree; that was a totally useless thing to do. ”Carving your name into bark, I’m sure it’s a worthwhile diversion,” she said, voice dry with dull disapproval. And what a lovely way to waste a perfectly good blade? Halo’s blade ate through flesh and blood only.
