Hushed Willows Whatever It Takes

Eventually the girl would apparate from amongst the trees. She cautiously, and yet confidently, seemed to present herself. She was quite different from the wolves that seemed to live in the Empire. Darker in color, though, she seemed just as breakable. She was no warrior that had come to confront him. He was thankful she hadn't summoned others as he didn't expect her to do any attacking. 

 She continued to press him for answers and he willingly answered. Her first question confirmed with nothing more than an honest nod and her second required a bit more, "Empress Reiko and Queen Ibis," Collision was still a bit confused on how the ranks worked within the Empire. All that he kept in mind was that they needed him and so he made sure he was readily available to anyone in the Vale. 

 He had thus far been respectful and not pressured the girl to do anything, but he wanted to sate the curiosity that had dragged him on this expedition to begin with and so he began, "What was your name?" She hadn't yet mentioned it and he had so far seemed to divulge so much.
