To live without hope is to cease to live

The sable hybrid considered the stranger. There was something faintly familiar about her. The coyote thought she had seen those eyes before, though she could not possibly begin to place just where. Eris had no doubt this was her first meeting with this stranger, but perhaps they had known one another in another life. Not knowing the woman's name, The Auxiliary could not connect her surname to one of her very own Arbiters. She had not bothered to collect the trespasser's name, and if she had, the sable-hued woman would not have known the surname in any case.

The Auxiliary listened with a lazy sort of curiosity as the other canine spoke, appreciating the foreign tinge of her voice. Appreciative of such flavor in the voice, the coyote smiled wanly, recognizing it as the same the coyote had carried. There were no liars and snakes here; the old woman was not a threat, in any case, and the hybrid woman did not see the gain in lying to the stranger about the whereabouts of her mother. Your dear mother is safe, The Auxiliary assured the canine. She's eaten my pack's food, though, and I would agree that a favor is in order, the hybrid said, looking to the blue-eyed woman curiously.

There was still no anger or aggression within Eris, and she had not treated Verusha entirely unkindly -- perhaps she had been a bit rough in putting her in the cellar, but the woman had been fed generously. Still, Eris was curious to gauge the other canine's reaction. What do you propose to offer? the coal-furred wolf asked, genuinely wondering what the rusty-hued woman would offer in return for her mother's life and freedom. It wouldn't seem that was quite in the balance, given The Auxiliary's cool demeanor, but the sable woman guessed the serious of the situation wasn't entirely lost on her companion.
