Anu was certainly one that lived a life stripped of layers. She had always lived a life naked of lies and of deceit. Never had she lied about who she was or what her intend might be. Honesty was the one thing she favored most, and though she lied in a playful manner, there was nothing that she would do but speak the truth when ever if mattered. Soften it, she might, but never enough to twist its meaning. It pleased her to see that Gabriel smiled. He did not wear the feature enough in the Dreamer’s eyes.
His words were honest, and spoke of truth far deeper then his tone. They seemed to both know of it, and they did. Anu instantly saw the difference between the fear that Inferni leader had brought her that one day, and the thought of Haku, or the dead monster Corvus. The hybrid did not provoke the fear in her as the others, even though his face bore scars and his body spoke heavily of the ability to fight. Still there was something that radiated form him that was honorable, something Anu had not missed in the past and yet only unveiled now.
Though the wolfess wished to see the best in every beast she did not have to search for that in the doggish male. She easily saw his wish to keep those he loved safe, to keep threats away from his clan. His love for his children was apparent that last time they had spoken. Anu believed Haku was lost to such a thing, love did not know a home in his chest. He had no heart and had lost his soul long ago.
“You are not terrible at all.” Anu spoke, her voice lacking the tinge of amusement that she once owned. She didn’t believe that her thought of him mattered more then any other, if it mattered at all. But, perhaps he would draw something meaningful from her voice.
