Silver Moraine his garden at argenteuil

Renoir speaks with an accent and inflection that are foreign to Saena's ear. Being a native of the area, Saena speaks with her own accent, mirroring that of the Redhawk-DiSarinno clan but morphed by time away from them. She's not able to tell her accent, and wouldn't even be able to tell the subtle differences in a Redhawk-DiSarinno wolf's voice or in fact in any DeMonte or DiSarinno's voice, but Renoir surely can hear the difference as she can hear his. She presses her ears to the side, flared open, to listen more intently, and only realizes he's asked a question after an uncomfortable silence stretches between them.

"Oh," she says with a start, then clears her throat and abashedly says, "yes, fine. Well, no." Contradicting herself isn't the greatest impression so Saena starts again, working her tongue over her lips once or twice before letting him know that, "a lot has happened to my pack lately. We have enemies all around us." She was embroiled in tension, and the source of much of it, but she doesn't realize it so she doesn't tell him.

Canting her head and trying to ignore the welling aggression in her breast, for clearly Renoir poses no threat to the Phoenix pack, Saena casually asks, "so what are you doing around here, anyway?"
