Sleepy Fox Hollow Watch the lasers dancing through smoke on a stage far away

A voice rose above the air. It was not that of her company, nor anyone of familiarity. 

Alstroemeria turned, close in sync with Atreus.

This woman was quite presumptuous, even slightly hostile. The boy gave a small snort, then looked to the scarred woman. Before preparing to address the stranger, she gave the boy a silencing wave of her tail. 

We are not lowly wolves as to steal. You should not be assuming otherwise. She spoke in a calm tone, while yet remaining firm. These herbs were not in fact collected on your territory. Ali then added, gesturing to the bundle. She then cast a glance to Atreus. I had already had them in my possession before we arrived here. We. It had not entirely been the case, but whether the boy was at fault or not, she would not place any blame upon him; especially not in the eyes of this woman.

I apologize if we traveled too far. It is my fault, really... I had been carrying the herbs for so long before passing then to him that they spoiled my nose. We will be returning home now. You needn't worry of us roaming any further by mistake. Alstroemeria watched them steady now. Would she let them depart peacefully, or would the hostility ensue.
