It was not long until she was answered, though the figure was hard to spot at first--if she had not been watching for someone's approach closely, she probably would have missed the four-legged wolf as he made his way to her. As he got closer, she shifted her posture, long tail laying still against her leg, in attempts to show respect for him and his pack's lands. Yet, she had dignity that she had lacked when she first walked into these lands, and kept herself from behaving like a sniveling pup showing extreme submission. Instead, she remained calm and composed.
She was distracted for a moment when the suddenly flush of air disturbed the silence, and glanced at eagle that had taken its roost in a tree. It was rather large, but she felt no need to be frightened by it for some reason, perhaps because its attention was focused on the tribe wolf and not on herself. She wondered if it was the his spiritual guide, but she did not see its form flicker or disappear like Ember's had, and she did not feel like it was her place to ask such a thing when she was on duty. Her round gaze rested on the golden bird a moment longer, then it turned back to the green-eyed man.
Sparrow was a bit uncomfortable with his less than friendly tone, but her face did not express so, and she took it in stride and pretended that she did not notice it. "Yes, you can," she replied softly, and bent over to take hold of the sack that laid at her tan feet. "I have come from Inferni bearing gifts to your tribe, from our newly appointed Aquila."
