Jade Fern Grove a saint bernard sits at the top of the driveway

her smile falters at his expressed confusion, shit. she'd said 'she' hadn't she, but...it's not like that was wrong. she mirrors west's dubiousness as brows knit together, casting a quick look towards the retreating figure of the spectre. she knew zephyr could come across as a bit outlandish at times but that instinctual need to defend her siblings against forces that did not share their blood was hard to ignore and so she kept her mouth shut as she tried to think of a way to explain such a declaration when she didn't understand it herself. in the end, slender shoulders lifted in an awkward shrug as she simply opted to murmur an honest "i don't really know" and that was that, the hard set of her jaw made it clear that at least right now, she wasn't willing to delve any deeper into what zeph was and wasn't. her own mind would not halt its curious wondering however, picking away at what could possibly have prompted such a declaration forth. perhaps she really had just intended to bait and taunt west...but there had been neither sneers nor mischief roaming the pallid's features and she just didn't believe that it was what had drove that forth. but then again, maybe she was wrong...it had been so long since she'd seen those wolves; could she confidently say she knew them anymore? 

suddenly wearied, she was glad when he roamed into lighter, thoughtless territory. she jumped slightly at his touch, surprise rippling forth at the contact but hastily covered it with a wild grin at his declaration. "oh i can imagine" she'd chirp, arching brows "you're simply terrifying" a snigger at the tease before her gaze softened and there was brief sincerity to the smile as she expressed her gratitude with a slow blink before whipping and bounding eagerly through the vegetation where the young wraith had vanished previously.
