Eris is by Kiri!
A faint smile showed on Eris's muzzle, though she did not much feel like smiling. She could agree with him -- the woman found the entire stretch of the Pictou river rather gorgeous, and she did love to see its backward flow. Water-magic, she called it, though she had since connected the odd movements with the incoming tides. The sable-shaded woman spoke her agreement in a soft voice, only a single word spoken. They did not need to wax poetic on just how beautiful these lands were -- she had chosen them for that reason. The rugged beauty of these salt marshes spoke to the very heart of Salsola, after all. Yes.
Her chartreuse eyes studied him as he looked to the elk, and as his gaze returned, her own moved to the beast again, not wishing to appear that she was staring. He was large -- she had noted his size from the moment she'd seen him, though at first the dark woman wondered if his size was not an illusion of his Secui form. Her own halfling morph was a great deal larger and bulkier than either her Optime or Lupus, and the dark-hued coyote knew it was much the same for most Luperci. He spoke at length, though the hybrid absorbed each of Reykr's words, listening to them with her usual keenness. She provided a polite chuckle at his jest, her smile remaining far away from her eyes.
I noted your size very well, stranger. Why do you think I remain treed? The smile was sweet, but there was a hint of venom in her green-yellow eyes, dangerous as it was enticing. Without giving him much of any chance to interject, she continued, choosing to answer his question vaguely and provide her own in turn. I do not live far, no. By Father -- you mean, your god? she inquired, posing the question with no shame or uncertainty. She would know about his spirituality, if he was so willing to provide the information. Such conversations interested her more than where she lived -- though, of course, Eris had plenty of reason to wish to protect her home Salsola.
