Noctisardor Bypass Sanctum

There was a momentarily harshness to her expression at the apparent insult to her homeland -- even if she didn't know exactly what he meant by it.  Was it a joke that fell flat?  It'd be one thing if this was the bleak depths of winter, then maybe she'd laugh along and agree but as it were...  Well, at least he went back on track?  Her nod in response to it was somewhat curt.  At least there were other wolves ahead.  If this dude got weirder, she could just ditch him and find someone less odd.

He was definitely odd.  Not a specific one.  I left home to find my own future.  My destiny is my future, wherever that is.  That, she was very sure of.  Skydance would avoid making bad choices -- she would choose where she landed carefully, like a bird landing on the thinnest of branches just because it could.  I do need to investigate my options.  Leaving home was dangerous in that it was into the unknown, but so far things had worked out, hopefully they would continue to do so.
