Her offer was received with a laugh – and given the she-wolf knew very little of the stranger before her, she was uncertain how to take this. Her wolfish brows lifted higher in surprise, waiting for him to reveal the pun that might have coaxed such amusement from him.


Something about the River wolves extending their recruitment – and then Lachesis’ name fell from the wolf’s lips. Of course, the stranger had not thought to make it known he knew of the white healer.. and within moments, what amicable conversation they might have had before was now riddled with suspicion as the honeyed wolf backtracked her thoughts. The conversation seemed less casual now, and as the regal considered anything she had said to him as nothing important, only then did she relax.


And in turn, her own lips curled up in amusement, though perhaps colder now. Closed off. After all – something was off for the wolf to not have mentioned he had met one of her own – especially as he had been so curious about her only moments before.


“The invitation is not a permanent one,” she noted then, her eyes flickering over him before she gave a nod. If anything, the sudden distrust she felt for the man had left that option in flames, though she did not bother to share this bit. “Take care of yourself, Merys,” she offered in turn, taking the cue that their conversation had come to a close.


Her own slender form took her leave then – pale paws moving forward, determined to continue to look for her daughter once more.. and making a special note to ask @Lachesis what he thought of her brief interlude.
