Halina had just about given up hope on finding someone at Romance River, at least for today. She was not easily beaten and thus had plans to return tomorrow… and the day after that… and the day after until she found her soulmate. Nothing would deter her from her goals. But as for today, her boredom had just about met its peak. Already she had counted all of the large stones at the bottom of the river… already she had been mesmerized by the ripples she could make on the surface of the water. She had made up shapes for the clouds drifting high above her and created backstories and histories for the couples around her, predicting which ones would last and which would not. More than one brute had approached her, asking her name, flirting openly. She had been cold to them, briskly telling them that they were barking up the wrong tree. She was not normally rude or cruel, but she was serious about her intentions… and she had no interest in leading the brutes on. They had come to Romance River for one reason and one reason only. Who was she to flirt with them when she had no interest in them at all?

Halina sighed and opened her maw, a yawn taking over her features as she extended her front paws, unsheathing her daggers as she stretched out. Her mind had been made up – today was over and it was time to go home, perhaps to hunt. Her den was dug out under the roots of a large, old tree that was on its last leg. She was not worried that it would collapse upon her – it was still sturdy. It was dark and totally encompassing… it was comforting. The ess was preparing to leave – to return to her den and sleep away her failures until the light of the next day signaled a new start and another chance. Stretching up she sat upon her haunches when suddenly the click of nails on stones had her auds flickering backward. Again, Halina sighed, believing that it would be another brute come to bother her, but as she spun to face the oncoming varg, a femme’s vocals reached her auds. Hello. My name is Ygritte. I’m new around here. Would you mind if I sat with you. Halina’s orbs widened and and a smile crept upon her face.

“No, not at all, please do. I would love to share your company, Ygritte. It is indeed a pleasure to meet you, I’m Halina. What brings you… here?” Her dark blue orbs studied the fae, smiling at her – she was beautiful truly. But was she seeking Halina’s company for the same reason that Halina would seek out her company? Or was Ygritte merely lonely because she had yet to find a brute to her liking?
