Blackfeather Woods where order is wild

he should have heard the uneven footfalls behind him ...and being taken off guard by the low chuff instead left him disappointed in himself. in lieu of losing himself in the bewitchment of blackfeather woods as he sees it through new perspectives aside from an arrogant and defiant child's he's losing his touch as soturi and that was not a good thing. frustration at his own self etches a deep furrow into his brow that smooths by the time he turns to face the owner of the chuff with stiffened and steeled shoulders. he does not recognize her ...and suspects that if he'd ever seen her before he'd likely remember because he's never seen anyone like her before.

her ivory pelage is not a particularly new sight ...the little shadow's sister is as pale as a spirit. the dark master is ivory colored as well. perhaps there are others but these are ones that he's seen of even if in small glimpses in passing. rather, it was not her pelage that draws the attention. she has a malformed forepaw and a glasgow smile on the left side of her face, revealing sharp and dagger-like teeth. maybe her appearance should unnerve him. but he's a warrior and while the malformed forepaw is something new to him it's not as if he's not seen corpses torn open revealing flesh and bone beneath.

his glacial gaze takes her in slowly, assessing. the delta is left with the assumption that she is new. "hello," the tundrian greets her, letting his gaze drift to the wisps that dance around her and between them. still a strange phenomenon that he does not have an explanation for ...but maybe it's not up to him to rationalize the wisps existence. maybe he's not meant to question it. just like dream lotte. it still seems impossible to him. yet, he remembers it vividly as if it were an actual conversation held with the nightingale queen and he didn't question that half as much as he's questioned everything else.

his gaze returns to her, focusing on the un-ruined side of her face out of what he hopes is courtesy, noting that she's rather pretty all things considered.
