There was something to be said for the woman with the ability to walk as a ghost. Halo Lykoi made no sound on the crispy dew-splattered ground. The woman had been blessed with a predatory grace which surely enabled her a great amount of skill on the battlefield, for even when dazed, a coyote is not an easy creature to startle.
At the sound of the feminine voice, curious but not spiteful, China's body jerked slightly. Her large, elegant ears dipped instantly forward, vague cerulean eyes focusing with narrow pupils on the beautiful creature before her. Another truth - Halo was indeed a beautiful creature, and China had such inexplicable weakness for beauty. A gentle smile framed her somewhat absent expression. "Yes, Triarii," For although they had never met, she knew the other woman well. All members of Inferni did.
Wanting to appear respectful, even though her heart was not in the act, the pretty silver doll rose to her own feet. She steadied herself with one palm against the pine tree, wishing as she did that she might be able to feel the pulse of the Earthmother within it. But no, that door had been closed to her. The old grief bubbled close, showing in the dark shadows beneath her eyes and the hollowness in her smile. The woman's ruby eyes made her uneasy, but they were familiar, and deep within her she was startled to note the pulls of attraction. What of it?! Surely, she had broken this taboo enough to no longer be dismayed at her body's treacherous love for its own kin.
Shaking fingers plucked at the bottom of her denim skirt, wishing she had a lighter to smoke some of the joints rolled in her pockets. "Can I help you?"
