Neverwinter Forest settling light

Ivev had heard the stranger rather than smelled him first- so she was caught even more off guard when the young creature emerged from the forest shadows. He had a striking pelt of speckled tan on a coat of white, like a whorled conch that had washed up on the sea and left him with dark, sea blue eyes. Her eyes peered at him closely, studying him for a moment. Did his unusual appearance signal something? An omen?

The arctic female tilted her tail in greeting, a small smile haunted the return to what he had said.
Yes, I was exploring the forests. This one has different trees than the one in my home. With cottonwoods, oak, alder, and other types, the Neverwinter Forest had its different mix of pine and plants.
Am I intruding on your pack? she added, ears flicking slightly. Ivev wanted to be respectful, and would leave rather that create that horrible conflict she had done in Noctisardor.
