The wind fell across their faces, coming from beyond the border of his home. Mati could smell the air free of the scent of Inferni, and it told her that they were gaining on the edge of the clan's lands.
She felt awkward when there was no response to her comment, quite the sign that her words were innocently misinterpreted. Mati swallowed hard, and felt the distance between them widen even though they stood right beside one another. She had not meant to seem sassy, it was a compliment to the coy-woman wasn't it? Her eyes fell away from Silas, her shoulders feeling heavy and her arms already aching from the weight of the bags. But never did her pace slow, and her face fell to watch the ground as Silas' had to concentrate on the path that they walked. As to keep from saying the wrong thing once again, she stayed quiet. At times it was just best to remain silent.
They walked together for a ways, though it likely felt longer then it truly was, before Silas spoke with a question on his tongue. Mati raised her head at the sound of Cambi's name. She wondered if they knew one another. Yeah, The Church female answered, the words riding on an exhale. Mati took a moment to think of when their relationship had moved from being pack mates to friends to something more. Few months. She answered, still looking ahead. The question came only after a momentary pause, Do you know her? She had been worried in the past that she would be discriminated because she was with another female, but it seemed to be the least awkward of truths that had been exposed today and found no energy left or real reason to avoid the subject.
