She watched the man as he got himself in order. As she thought, he wasn’t as inimical as the front he tried to put up. But, Alyssum did not judge him, nor blamed him. She just thought that he should have been more confident with his poker face, yet she was not going to tell the wolf what to do so as to not provoke a negative reaction. Instead, she just smiled back as positively as possibility without the motion seeming hollow and fake.
“Loviere, I see,” the hybrid murmured, nodding as she repeated his name. She did not know many foreign canines, but the Dinabalo’s must have been the most alien to Alyssum as of then. Perhaps it was Spanish? She was not sure, and she still did not know why the meaning of names still interested her. The de Fonte always had the strangest of hobbies that she pursued, and would go after them without rest; she even learned a little Latin to better understand root words in names. She always assumed that her pastimes were only made to purposely annoy her old pack, but as she got older, they stayed around, so now she thought that she was just born out of the norm.
Alyssum’s concerned face creased further as Loviere explained his situation. She somewhat understood the male, to emotional extent; being out casted as a pup, she knew how felt to be alone even when surrounded by people. “I see,” she said quietly, then, suddenly, she asked, “Do you know how to defend yourself?” Though the question might seem random to the wolf, it was sensible to the hybrid to know if he did know how to fight for himself. If he didn’t, then that was not good at all; she knew not all here in Nova Scotia was kind, and would attack him without provocation.
