”We came up from the south...it's so much milder there. We were quite startled by the weather ourselves.” he explained calmly, though his eyes watched her without faltering.
Sage allowed her body to relax against the cool floorboards of the crumbling shack, her yellow eyes glancing around the small room with slight interest. She was more interested in the pair before her, though. It wasn't often that she saw a man traveling alone with a pup; usually, it was the other way around. Really, the girl wanted to ask about it, but knew that this was a time for tact. The ivory stranger did not seem entirely at ease with her presence, but she attributed this to her coyote heritage, and hoped that he might be able to overcome it. The hippie Lykoi was nothing like most of her ancestors and relatives, after all.
The tawny girl shifted her weight a bit, trying to gain a comfortable position. She took the blanket from about her shoulders, instead bringing her knees to her chest and draping it across her legs, hugging them gently with her arms. With a slight shiver, her voice rose against the howling wind curiously.
"The south, eh, love? A particular place, or did you wander?" she wondered, not quick to assume that he'd had a stable home; she hadn't, in fact.
After the girl had reeled off about the Earth Mother's control over the weather and it's odd pattern, the man had asked: ”By she...are you meaning Rhiannon? Or someone else?”
Sage's face momentarily expressed surprise, but she had to remember that this wasn't Juniper Peace, and not everyone knew who she spoke of. "Ah..my apologies..." she said lightly, shaking her head at her mistake. "The Mother Earth, I mean."
The Lykoi girl tried to speak quietly so as not to wake the sleeping boy, who was indescribably adorable, curled in a comfortable slumber in the stranger's arms. She leaned forward, raising a petite hand and pointing vaguely to the boy. "Who's this?" she asked, her voice low, a wide smile on her face.
