Shadowwyn Moor A newcomer in a new land

Sorin does feel a slight flicker of guilt at his words. After all, she hadn't done anything overtly seductive. And yet, he feels deep down that his evaluation was true. So he was wary and brusque. It isn't her fault, if he is being totally honest with himself. It is the wraiths.

And just as he thinks of her, she appears in front of him, the ghost of a wolf only he can see. He growls aloud as she whispers, taunting him for his suspicion, for his lack of feeling, for his lack of heart. She smiles slyly at him, before disappearing once more into his mind, the ghostly grin being replaced by the smile of the wolf standing in front of him.

He nods slightly as she announces her leaving, still distracted by his demon. "I'll bear it in mind," he says as she leaves. Then, he too turns away, fighting a losing battle with the demon in his heart.

Thanks for the thread.
