The male broke into a smile, and though Nayru’s face still displayed no hostility she did not return the warmth. Merely she still stared at him, considering his sudden appearance and theft of her kill. And yet, it really wasn’t a theft, for as he introduced himself he moved away from the stag, leaving it clear and open for Nayru to once more reclaim. The girl made no move, still wondering at the man’s purpose, but her nerves settled as he explained his knowledge of Nayru’s meeting with Ghita. What had the woman said of her? They had parted on good terms, but to say that Ghita was completely comfortable with Nayru or her presence about Aro would be false. And just what Nayru’s presence in Aro’s life meant any longer the girl couldn’t guess. Before the boy had seemed affectionate, in a way Gideon never was, but lately she had not seen the boy around.
"Greetings Jazper Rhiannon-Knight." Nayru bowed her head, but did not give her own name. She smiled then though, her crimson eyes catching the golden eyes of her friend’s father in a way that said “I trust you know my name.” The girl did not like to waste her time or words, but it seemed strange not to give her own title. Always she introduced herself with the upmost respect, yet it seemed now that introductions were only formalities and weren’t really required at all. And it seemed, Jazper wasn’t the type to hold it against her if she chose to keep her words to herself just then.
The man lowered himself into a sitting position and Nayru eyed the deer once more, moving slowly over to it only after he apologized for keeping her from her meal. The girl laid her claws over the creature, wondering if truly she could take it home for she hadn’t killed it, but deciding it wasn’t likely that Jazper wished to drag the beast all the way back to Crimson Dreams. It would have been easier to just kill another buck on his own lands. Yet she did not eat, but dipped her head at the male, unsure as to why she showed so much respect to someone who had denied her the pleasure of hunting.
"This deer is for my family and friends, I am a Jager of Dahlia de Mai and it is my duty to provide food for all." Her voice was melodic and slow, kind as she revealed these small details of herself, not sure what to say to this man. Her mind went back to the meeting with Ghita, how the mother had been convinced that harm would come to her child inside the borders of Dahlia de Mai. Eventually they had come to an agreement, of sorts. Ghita had an open invitation to Dahlia de Mai, to see the lands, and so it was strange that her mate had turned up instead. "Ghita was kind to me when I met her, but unfortunately I don’t think she felt Dahlia de Mai an ideal place for Aro to visit." It was the gentlest way to phrase what they both already knew. And perhaps it didn’t matter, Nayru thought as she offered up the next bit of information. "I haven’t seen Aro in a few months though, I hope Ghita has given him the book I left with her?"
