Phoenix Maplewood the night begun to shine

Oh yes - there was definitely something very odd about Desdemona. King's pity only rose at her proclamation, but even as his sympathy was piqued, he wasn't sure how to go about helping the woman. Still, he saw that it would do no good to argue with her in this state. It seemed cruel even to think about it, so he kindly refrained.

"I am humbled to have been met by you on your own borders," he replied instead, choosing his words carefully as he tried to buy himself some time to think. Was there anything he could do for the woman? She seemed quite devoted to her forest, here - King might even have thought to leave her there, except she seemed so terribly alone, and as much as he wished it were so, she did not seem happy in her 'home'. "You know of Easthollow - do you think you'd like to visit it?" he suggested, inwardly wondering how Valette and Steph would feel about a mentally ill wolf being brought to their doorstep.
