Akavir! Reverie startled to her feet, hackles flaring in surprise before settling just as quickly. Unlike Arric, she had no illusions of testing Akavir. If he wanted to come near to her, he would, and it didn't matter how she felt about it. But she desperately did not want him to. A pained whine slipped from her and she pressed back, against the tree.
