+3 :: KIKI WAS TOO SLOW. I have been dying for a thread with her. << Rowan, Larkspur's slave, is with him. She's the one speaking now while he creeps in the forest.

There were many days where Larkspur traveled alone. Today was not one of them. Rowan had accompanied her master on his expedition, joining him once she had finished her chores. This worked well for the dark wolf, who had spent his morning tending to the sheep and horses. Once finished, he had rounded his patrol off to the north. The russet woman met him halfway, toting along a woven basket. Fish were good food for puppies, especially now that Eris had finally begun behaving as a proper mother. Instinctively, Larkspur desired to care for the children—even though he found disdain for them in his heart. Time would have to heal that wound, carved by a bitter woman who cared about no one save herself.

It took them almost half an hour to find the river, and it was here the pair was met with a peculiar site. A she-wolf, new and unfamiliar, bent over in the water. Curious, but unwilling to approach her himself, Larkspur spoke in a hushed tone to his slave. She seemed surprised by his request, but left his side with quiet, fast steps. Half-hidden by the treeline, the Arbiter watched the stranger with growing suspicion.

“Bonjour?” The heavily accented voice called, light and feathery. Rowan was ultimately feminine, a striking offset to the majority of the women here. Her red pelt gleamed in the sunlight, a further sign of her superiority amongst the slaves. Larkspur ensured she was always healthy, always well-groomed. This, too, she enjoyed doing. Fish were helpful in such a case, even if her brutish master did not understand that, and this was part of the reason for her suggesting they gather them today. “Are you…well?” She struggled with the English, desperately obvious in this. Only French and German were easy; English and Spanish had been a severe learning curve.
