Two Rivers Isle stark, hollow town, carson city lights

it just seemed like the once quiet river dweller was now finding herself in bed of snakes.

but she must choke down the inadequacy she feels with purpose and work. and the scent of another stranger brings about a sense of worry and yet misdirected annoyance. colt had come here on his belly begging for a home, and now it feels as if he is pulling a rug out from underneath her. the bulgae and redbird have yet to prove their respect of Iseul letting them into her home with children present. and in a way, she fears this may have been a mistake. a grave mistake that she may pay for later.

ady and ulrich put faith in her for a reason, she must remind herself of this constantly. if she did not show some form of value, they would have never let Ines and Matteo stay here with her. she must find her confidence. and so, when she comes to see a tall man at the edge, she brings an air of pride. he is bigger and stronger than anything she's seen, and while it causes her scary thoughts, she shakes them away. her tail comes to arch over her back and she watches him closely with a suspicious glint in her jade eyes.

"This is Two Rivers Isle. who you?" her tone is clear though it lacks any sharpness. it would be unfair to lay her anger into a random stranger, after all. she is better than that, she knows this and tells herself.
