The smell of another Glorall wolf hits my nostrils and I pause, curiosity shining in my two toned eyes as I turn my head to watch the red and black female approach. I have never met this particular wolf though I recall her from Tesseract's first entrance into the pack. She is someone important to him, someone he knew. Tesseract and his mate Caligula used to belong to Iromar and I'm guessing so did this girl. She has the colors of the ones who call themselves Demons.
I never put too much credit into the whole Demons and Angels thing. I believe in pride in your bloodlines, but sometimes I think there's just too much pride to go around. Let them have their show. I've got everything I need right here.
I know the female, Rogue, has been moving up in the pack. She is vying for the Diomedes rank. As far as I know, no one challenges that and I doubt anyone will. Perhaps her past with Tesseract gave her extra credit in the beginning but I believe she's had to work for everything after that ran out. I don't judge by color. I don't judge by how the alpha treats you. I judge based on my own assumptions.
At her first word, I dip my head in acknowledgement, ears tilting forward attentively, my tail giving a wave of welcome. She doesn't look at me with anything less than open curiosity, a good sign. she doesn't see me as an old hag who's outlived her usefulness. There was a time when I thought that about myself. After Cobryn's death, I withdrew into myself, neglecting my children and neglecting my spirit. Thankfully I managed to get it back.
She introduces herself, my lips tugging at the hint of a smile before I nod in response to her question.
"You may, and I might just give it. I'm Enigma, formerly of Judila and now of Glorall. I guess you could say I have a penchant for water."
My smile deepens, reaching the depths of my emerald green and ocean blue eyes.
"And what of you, Rogue? Do you have a penchant for anything or are you just here for the scenery?"
Curiosity touches my gaze, my head tilting as I await her reply. Quite a way to start a conversation but you could say I'm starving for some good stimulation. Perhaps a friendship could emerge. It's been a long time since I've had one of those.
