She stopped suddenly when his question rang in her ears. Gazing at her reflection for a moment she could recall the things she'd done until she'd reached these lands. The time spent on ship and the moons of cattle raiding and learning at the knee of the bairds. Dangerous games of the heart and mind, and yet here.. there was really nothing. She knew she'd argued with her sister and seen her brother again. Roamed about to scout out other packlands just out of boredom's sake.. and flirt and play with the boys.. but none of it had been something she'd really been interested in doing.. just passing time. Wrinkling her nose she turned her sparkling eyes to those cirmson orbs. "I see your point." she said after a moment, she was being nosey after all.
She wondered if she really was worth anything here, she didn't have any exceptional skills. She could hunt and scout, but she wasn't anything special. She knew her place overseas yet here she was just floundering in the the tides, nothing special, nothing new, atleast to those who hadn't seen the darker side to the lass. It really wasn't a bad thing, she just hadn't really found her place, or atleast she hadn't realized it yet. She shook her head and admitted. "There seems to be too much time and not enough to do here.." She was ok with that, roaming and wandering the lands did keep her occupied, even if it just made her even more restless than she normally was. She'd figure it all out in the end.
His final answer to her question made her wonder just what everything was, but his life wasn't hers and everything he might write about probably wasn't anything she cared to know about. She realized suddenly with that thought that her life probably wouldn't be of interest to anyone else either. She passed off the thought and with a pathedic sigh she turned back to Laruku. "Well, I best be off before someone actually notices I'm missing.." she joked, knowing that no one would really care where in the world she was as long as she actually returned. Hell, Ember would love it if she disappeared all together, but that was beside the point.
Firefly stood there a moment longer gazing at the male that was family and yet not. She really didn't know Laruku and he seemed to distant and strange that she wasn't sure what he was exactly, but he wasn't someone who worried her all to much, atleast not for now. Smiling to herself she suddenly turned about and skipped back down the alley, knowing she'd return back to the bookstore for a journal of her own, but not while Laruku was right there. She didn't want anyone to really know about the journal she was looking to find.
