Zelda didn’t know the life the girl had led, she knew so little about the wolfess now following behind her, not sure of her intentions, desires or personality even. All Zelda knew was she was bound to her cousin, his soul, and Zelda also knew personally that your soul could pick someone the exact opposite of yourself. She shuddered at the thought of Balor, the disappearance of the overbearing obsessive male had broke, stung and left nothing but a dull spot Zelda was all too happy to have in comparison to what had been there when she was in his clutches. Why had Asteraia wanted her? They seemed to be collecting all sorts of wolves, they had taken her half brother too after all, and what was he to them? He was an Aztec, a Tavioran wolf surely not to be part of their fold in the way they wanted. Perhaps it was the same for Eto. Stealing to steal and for little other reason other than to cause unrest among the loners and packs.
Well it was working.
Her tail waved lightly as they paused together, stating that if she wanted she was free to go her own way from here. Zelda after all took her to free her, not to trap her within Taviora. It felt wrong to do that to anyone, and didn’t even feel good when they did it for information gathering, yet, she quickly let them go once they were done. The wolfess seemed surprised though when Zelda deemed her free. She blinked as if confused and her eyes looked deep into Zelda’s own as if searching for any lies or tricks. Zelda seemed to have passed whatever she was looking for because a moment later the girl grinned happily especially at the mention of Teza. Zelda smiled, imprints were so special, powerful, and sometimes scary, but the bond existed for a reason. Her tail waved again, even as the girl twitched and jerked around and bounced forward in excitement.
Zelda was surprised to say the least by her words. She had been wanting to see him for a while? Then perhaps that was why Teza felt so desperate to get her freed. Maybe in his soul he knew she wanted to be closer to him, that it was going against her will. Zelda watched as the mostly white wolfess looked back to the lands of Asteraia with contempt, huffing slightly before turning back to Zelda, looking nervous? Uncertain? Zelda wasn’t quite sure, but she remained quiet all the while when she spoke until she asked if she would be allowed in Taviora.
”You are more than welcome to come if that’s what you want, Miss Eto.” Zelda said a smile. ”Even if its not today, know that you are welcome into the forest, just call for me or Teza and we will come running to greet you.” Zelda assured her her tail waving. She meant every word, but she could tell the wolfess might not have had the easiest time in her life. Perhaps she didn’t trust others, well… Zelda would give her somewhere to go, but on her terms and only if she wanted.
