The tan-furred wolf made a gesture of dismissal to Blaise's posture. This startled the girl, though not in an unpleasant way. In Aether Hollow, low-ranking canines were always expected to physically display respect towards leadership, at least initially. It seemed that the tawny woman had not even expected this behavior. Though a little confused, Blaise let her ears raise and her shoulders straighten into a more comfortable position. Blaise was further assured that things were done differently here when she was offered the hare, told that she should eat before getting acclimated to the rest of Northstar Vale. Her smile grew softer, blue eyes warmly appreciative. Thank you. That's very kind. She remembered how hungry she was only as she took the hare into her jaws and began to eat, the thick sweet flavor welcome on her taste buds. She had fared surprisingly well as a lone wolf, considering the difficult weather, but she remembered always being hungry. The hunger became such a constant sensation that Blaise soon took little notice of it. With the likelihood that she would be well-fed from now on, she felt strange, sharp pangs in her stomach at the enticing smell of a meal that was all hers. But the hunger pain ebbed away just as quickly as it had begun when she finished eating the hare Xi'nuata had so generously given to her. The gray wolfess set the remains of bone and fur aside, licking the last of the blood from her muzzle. My name is Blaise Oceanne, she said. What is yours? Blaise thought it best to introduce herself before they continued with whatever Xi'nuata had in mind for this encounter. |
