Neverwinter Forest living like we're renegades

She proved it. Her replies were just as noncommittal as he expected they would be. Once upon a time he'd done much the same. Now? He wasn't a lone wolf. He wasn't always looking over his shoulder and so carefully guarding himself from sharing too much information lest it be later turned against him. He simply was. In this moment, he was amused by her bluntness and decided on humoring her. It'd been a while since he'd tested his own wit against another. Challenge accepted.

Her words were composed of nothing valuable and so he replied with nothing at all. He merely nodded, a silent indication that he'd heard her before a light mist rolled through the area. It was refreshing and well received on his part, the mist. It rolled through and passed as they were both left in the comfort of silence.

He watched as she lifted her eyes only slightly to gaze upon his form. He made little indication that he'd seen it and didn't make a show of it. Out here? As far as he concerned they were on neutral territory and therefore somewhat equal so long as they continued to share a mutual respect for one another's space. If she wanted to size him up, she was more than welcome to take a look, but as he well knew, many wolves were far more than what they first appeared. He was no different from them.

Her voice rang out again, haughty and proud. There was a fire in her spirit that spoke to his own. The smallest of grins touched his muzzle as he listened to her go on. Wish her harm? Mm. She'd done nothing to win such attention from him. Until she spoke again, at which point they reached an impasse. "I asked that question to you first. Answer it, and I might also share." His lips were sealed. The Spine was a private pack. They shared none of their business with anyone.
