Horizon Ridge there's something here that's broken

She was not familiar to the way Conan acted and spoke around her. He spoke with such casual, friendly tones, very different to Declan. But even so, she had never been 'worthy' enough to speak to a male in that way. Or, at all, unless they specifically asked her something. In that case, she was to answer respectfully and in short sentences. A single word, if she could. Her petite head tilted when Conan dismissed her from using the word 'sir'. It confused August more than anything. Did this stranger not wish for her to show as much respect as she was taught to give to the opposing gender? "Y....Yes si- Conan," Her soft voice still managed to waver slightly.

When the commanding one, Declan, approached, August remained still, eyes firmly trained on the ground once more. He made a circle around her and the maiden had to force herself to not flinch. This had happened to her on more than one occasion in her old pack, but it never ceased to frighten her. But then again, she was used to being afraid.

Before she could do anything more, Conan directed a question at her. The first half, she did not answer. She truthfully did not know her reasons for being here. The girl had no other place to go. To the second half, she simply shook her head, hoping it would be a sufficient answer.
