I watched her curiously, as she seems to relax with the wave of my banner. She seemed to suspect me, and why should she not? A strange male having silently come down from his perch only to approach her without a word. She quickly mimics me when I seat myself against the cold stone floor. Suddenly she looks down, as if surprised by something or looking for something. What that may be I can only guess, but soon enough her attention is focused on me once more.

She cocks her head at me as I do, and I see her beginning to wonder why I do not speak. My suspicions are only confirmed when she voices her thoughts. "Are you okay?" she asks, her orange eyes roaming over me as if searching for something that could be ailing me. I am given to smile and nod my head, letting her know that I am in fine health. I lift my paw and use it to tap at my muzzle, opening and closing my maw before shaking my head to signify my lack of speech. I only hope she'll understand.

"I did not mean to bother you." she says in a raspy voice, and if I could, I would have laughed because she was not bothering me at all. I shook my head, my way of saying that it was okay and that she had not bothered me in the slightest. Her tail begins to sway and I am reminded of Fjallraven for a split second, but I shake her from my mind, knowing she is safe back at the packlands.

"I am Everlyse." she says, a small smile tugging at her lips. I nod my head in greeting before attempting to mouth my name. 'Reich,' I mouth, but it is only a guessing game if she will understand it or not, either way, I was used to most calling me other things.
