Broken Antler Fen Here

"What's up, Aduin?" Ness asked by way of greeting him, though the question was actually rhetorical. Ness cared very little for the views of the meek. "No need to be shy around me— I'm pretty chill." A featherweight attempt to draw the boy out of his reserved demeanor, but an attempt nonetheless. Her attention returned to the decidedly "more fun" Sebastian as he asked her about joining them, and Ness smiled, appearing genuinely flattered.

"I've actually just recently settled on this bitchin' mountain up north from here (more my style, you know?) so I'm not in the market for packs, but I got a desperate need for friends." She was a social wolf at her core, and knowing a startup Alpha seemed an advantageous venture for her. "I'm probably the best kind of friend you could have," she said, looking at him so seriously, her two-toned eyes dared him to tell her different. "You'd practically never be bored of me. I'm a pretty big deal, Bast. Speaking of which— do you have a problem with intimidating, possibly killing others? I might need your help with some.. no, a fuckton of stalkers."

Ness drifted off thoughtfully, then glanced at him, eyes dancing in jest. "See. Fun," she announced matter-of-factly. She considered the fact that she could do well with the gray male. She would certainly move him along faster, that was for sure. Ness belatedly realized that she had just encouraged him to settle here, and she wondered if she should have; not that it mattered now. "Are you two from this area?" she asked, deciding to include Aduin, looking to him briefly.
