A life I'll Lead

[Firefly]

The days were long and the nights were a bit chilly, but Firefly padded on. She was on guard at all times, and she had hardly slept. The distance between deor and Ge rad was not at all too great but for two young pups it would have been a great journey. Firefly had made them stay close and never out of her sight. This was kerl's land, a land she was quite familiar with but one never knew who lurked out here. may it be a wolf of hostility or hospitality.

So Firefly stood close to the tree line and walked a bit faster, but never too fast for her pups to steadily walk. During the nights they were able to rest in a well sheltered thicket that proved to block all wind and cold. Firefly hunted for herself, what she could scavenge. That morning was able to catch a hare off guard and made it into a fast meal. Without good enough portions of food, she would not be able to provide her pups with nourishing milk, and it would still be a few moons till they would be weaned.

Firefly walked and and looked at Zenith and Raikan, "Nearly there" she spoke softly. The pups had been excited to go on this new journey and have a chance to wander far from their den. They just didn't know that it was this far.


By afternoon Firefly had reached the Ge rad lands. Her neck bristled and she ordered her pups to stay under her. Ears perked and alert she stepped into the land. Hoping that it would be Draeg who found her first. Firefly looked around and threw her muzzle up into the air and sent out a clear and resounding song that told of her trespassing and a greeting of Tratto's blessing.

((sorry for the crappyness))

[Draeg]

A lone figure tore swiftly across forest, a cloud of dust trailing closely behind him from where his feet had pounded against the ground and kicked up an assortment of debris and it was clear that he was desperate to arrive at the pack boundary line before anyone else. Despite his hurried pack he moved swiftly and gracefully through the dying vegetation that ran throughout the terrain, his thickening amber fur had a healthy luster to it and seemed to glow brightly in the midday sun, and his tail billowed in the wind like a flag in a show of dominance. It was obvious by the way he moved and how he held himself that he was a Dragga of Ge-Rad, the lead male of the pack and often the most powerful wolf alongside the Drappa or alpha female. Draeg had been resting in his favorite place spot when he heard Firefly’s call and set out to find her, he was determined to reach his mate before anyone, least of all Cwen, came to investigate her call, knowing full well what might happen if he didn’t. When he finally arrived he spotted Firefly hovering along the forest edge patiently waiting for someone to come and allow her into Ge-Rad, coming forward Draeg made his way over to the tan femme and greeted her warmly, giving her muzzle a quick lick and nuzzling her tenderly. “I missed you. Did you have any problems coming here?” he asked as he pulled away.

Draeg couldn’t help but give out a bright smile as he turned his attention away from Firefly and toward the two tiny amber forms at her side, like Firefly they harbored several distinguishing characteristics that revealed their mixed heritage and marked them as hybrids though not as many as their mother, they appeared to be more wolf than dog thanks to their father’s blood and as such could probably blend in with others of their own kind and go undetected provided no one was actually looking for them, they both sported a thick coat of amber fur courtesy of their father as well as their mothers eyes, which for the moment were a piercing cyan blue though Draeg wasn’t entirely sure whether they would fade with time and become the traditional colors like those of a true wolf or remain as they were. In either case Draeg really didn’t care, they were his children, conceived beneath the starlit sky during a heated moment of passion and brought into this world through Firefly’s strength and determination. The amber Dragga held them in the highest regard alongside his first litter and he loved with a fiery passion that burned more intense the god Fenris himself during a scorching summer day, he would deal with anyone that insulted either them or their mother over their mixed heritage without any hesitation or remorse whatsoever. Lowering his head closer to the ground he waited for them to come greet him as they normally did, eager to learn how they had faired on their trek from Deor and see whether they needed to rest or not. “I can’t believe you both came all the way from Deor just to see daddy, you didn't force your poor ole' mother to bring you by chance did you ?”

[Zenith]

Zenith panted ,his little tail wagging behind him. "Mother are we there yet?" he asked impatiently as he waddled behind his mother trying to keep up. He had asked many times on where they were heading. But every time his mother replied with the same answer It's a surprise Little did Zenith know that when they had left the Deor den that they were heading towards a new home.

He looked over his shoulder to look at Rai. "Come on Rai!" Zen barked and skipped a few steps faster. The way here was tiring though Zen found it exciting. There was so much more that he did not see before. A river, for the other day he had crossed one but was reprimand by his mother very harshly when he had gotten to close to the clear liquid thing. Zenith didn't know the terror of drowning in water, no the feeling of being trapt in its abyss. He only scowled at his mother and asked why she didn't want him to go near everything. Not everything was dangerous right?

But Zenith obeyed and followed along silently. When his paws were tired they rested, when they were hungry Firefly nursed them. During the cool nights where they had found shelter, Zenith had slept happily, though when he slept he still had many questions on his mind. What was this? What was that? why did that do this and not that? The questions were endless.
He had watched his mother come back with a rabbit clutched in her jaws and he blinked. What is that? He had asked his mother. And when she replied to him the word food, which by that time Zenith had only related food to milk thought his mother to be strange. Only when she explained that it was big wolf food did he understand.


Now Zenith was perched by Firefly's heels and peering over past her back leg. the scents no longer smelt like Deor and Zen could feel tension. He tilt his head and looked up at the towering figure of his mother, "Mum where are we I'm tired" Zen asked and fell to the ground when suddenly his mother had sent out a loud, ear piercing howl. Zen yelped and his ears were glued flat against his ears and tail curled under his belly. Never had he heard such a loud and scary noise come from his warm and tender mother. "Momma?" he asked with a whimper.

He looked up to his mother and somehow sensed that everything would be alright. But just in case he slinked closer to Raikan and nipped him playfully on the ear.
Zenith then jumped as he saw a large wolf run towards them. Zenith whined and hide behind his mother's back leg, ears pinned down as he watched the wolf slow down. His dark sapphire eyes seeing the resemblance to his father. And it finally was clear for the young dragga. They were here to see his and Rai's father! At once Zenith lept out from behind Firefly and waddled over to Draeg, brushing his side against his father's leg. "Papa!" he cried with utter delight as he rolled onto the floor and wriggled about happy to see his father once again.

[Raikan]

Raikan moved along with his brother and his mother, still panting slightly from his tiredness in the long journey. Like his brother, Rai had grown impatient many times and began asking the same question "How much long mother?" But Firefly would never leak any infomation to the two pups giving them only the same answer. His simple mind didn't know that they were leaving their previous den but moving to the new pack that belonged to his father.

Continuing on their journey and feeling quite excited. They had never wander so far away from the den before. Where were they going? Why are they going right now? What happens when we get there? Curiousity filling the pup as he couldn't wait to arrive at the destination. "Coming Zen. I won't be too far behind." barked Rai happily. Rushing forward a bit to catch up with his brother and mother and giving Zenith a playful nip at the ears. There were many things that amazed the pups, like the trees, scenery, the river which they encountered before where his mother scolded his brother for getting too close which he didn't understand. Though Rai had the tendency to go slightly off course, wandering off and came back when his mother had scolded at him.

During the nights, the young amber pup had slept peacefully with his mother and brother. When they were hungry or tired, they got rest and Firefly had caught the food. Finally, they were approaching Ge-rad territory, but Rai didn't know it. "Mummy, are we there yet?" he whined. But suddenly his mother let out a loud howl which made the pup jump and scramble behind her. It was nothing like he ever heard before. Zen had moved closer to him and nipped him in the ears, returning the nip they both waited for something to happen. Moving back a bit closer when they saw something move to him, but knowing that nothing can ever happen to them when mommy was here. But the pup realised but Draeg's form came into his eyes. Leaping from behind like Zen he ran to his father. Jumping and squealing in delight. "Daddy!!" squealed Rai. "It's so good to see you again. Mommy brought us here. She said it was a surprise." Tail still waggling furiously, the amber pup was just estatic to see his father again. "But daddy, where is here?" questioned the pup. Little eyes moving about to see the area around him.

[Firefly]

Firefly let her pink tongue hang from her mouth as she turned around to look at her pups, hidden behind her leg. Firefly lifted an eyebrow and lifted a back leg to reveal the hidings form of Raikan and Zenith. She laughed as she watched them start to nip at each other's ears. Firefly smiled but her ears pricked suddenly when she heard the rhythmic galloping of paws on floor. Firefly turned, her hackles bristling. Could it be Draeg or some other wolf in the pack. Perhaps even Cwen? Firefly stepped back so she could defend her pups but her face lit up at who she saw appear through the thick brambles.

In an instant she watched as her pups both dashed forward to greet their father. Firefly herself let out a happy bark and trotted over to the amber male and gave him loving licks on his handsome muzzle. She nuzzled him before pulling back a small step and looking up at him with wide and excited eyes filled with joy and love. She shook her head, "No no it was quite smooth, nothing out there that meant much harm. We saw a large herla buck but he minded his business as I did mine" she spoke and nuzzled him once more before laughing happily. "I'm sure that these two enjoyed it huh?" she said bending over and licking both Raikan and Zenith as they raced over to Draeg.

Firefly laughed and looked to Draeg. And admired his tenderness when he was around pups. This was one thing she truly admired Draeg, ever since she had met him.
Firefly looked around and then bent down to speak to her pups, "Yes we are here to visit Daddy, that's your surprise" she laughed. "And I have another surprise as well" she went on. "We're going to stay here with daddy" she informed them her own tan tail whisking happily behind her as she looked up, her cyan orbs locking with Draeg's amber ones.

[Draeg]

For a moment Draeg was angry with her with the tan femme for bringing their cildren along with her to Ge-Rad without so much as an escort, he knew that Firefly was still nursing for the most part and that neither Zenith or Raikan were really old enough to even be wandering from the den let alone travel from one pack to another. She should’ve at least asked someone like Gryffin or BT to escort her or waited for Draeg to return before deciding to take the journey. What if something would have happened to them? The no-man’s land was fraught with countless dangers ranging from wild lynx’s and various other putnar to Man and the elements themselves, and while Draeg knew that Firefly was perfectly capable of defending herself he also knew that the tan hybrid wouldn’t have been able to defend both cubs and herself depending on the nature of the aggressor.

However the amber Dragga forgot his anger the moment he felt his mate’s soft tongue make contact with battered muzzle, returning her nuzzle he listened quietly as she answered his question. “That’s good.” He nodded approvingly. “I would hate for anything to happen to you…any of you.” Upon seeing children come from behind their mother Draeg gave out a delighted yip, pleased to see that both of his little Dragga’s had weathered the journey and still seemed to have energy to spare. Smiling as Zenith brushed his tiny body against his father’s leg before rolling onto the floor and waving his paws in the air excitedly, following his brother’s example Raikan came forward as well, jumping and squealing ecstatically. “Kids!” he barked joyfully, bending down and nuzzling them both eagerly. “I missed you both so much! Have you been listening to your mother?” He listened to Raikan’s question with great interest, quirking an amused brow at Firefly while he listened. “Ge-Rad.” He answered simply, then going into more detail. “It’s a pack like Deor only that here daddy is the Dragga.” Firefly’s sudden proposal caught Draeg slightly by surprise though he managed to hide it from the tan femme, while it was true that he would love nothing more than to allow his family to join the ranks of Ge-Rad the amber Dragga knew that Cwen would not be too pleased by the presence of Draeg’s other mate in her pack, nor the fact that her mate had taken it upon himself to invite her into the pack without even consulting her. Like it or not, it would be a joint decision between the Dragga and Drappa to see whether Firefly and her pups would be accepted into Ge-Rad. Draeg could only hope that Cwen was feeling generous the next time he saw her, in either case the amber Dragga knew he was in for an earful. But for the moment he allowed himself a moment of happiness and returned Firefly’s loving stare.

[Zenith]

Zenith let out a little growl and rolled about wrapping his mini paws around Draeg's for leg and chewing it though the young male pup was still teeth less except for tiny bumps of puppy teeth.

Zen's little tail wagged furiously and he rolled over, he was a puppy with long legs though he still had that large build of puppy fat on him. He grinned his sapphire eyes twinkling as she hopped over to Rai and bumped into him and fell onto the floor with a thump. He shook his head before rolling back onto his side and looking up at his father, "Really!" he cried jumping up onto his four paws at once and waddled up to his mother, nuzzling her leg. "We're really going to stay here? With daddy!?" Zen cried and then howled with happiness, the high pithed howl that only a puppy could make.

Zen then sat down on his plump bottom and looked up cocking his head, "Really? Momma told us about packs and draggas. Wow my own daddy is a dragga!" Zen said with a yip and his tail continued to wag. He then beamed and got up, his head raised high, "I hope to be a dragga one day" he said before jumping and tackling Raikan, trying to tug at his ears.

[Raikan]

Raikan watched as his mother came over and licked his father. Tail still waggling as the pup was getting more excited. Suddenly, Firefly's tongue were licking him and his brother. At the mention of the journey Rai burst out to his father, talking very fast of the things they saw. "Yes yes, there was this BIG river...and we travelled for so long....it was so fun much!!" The pup haven't seen many things before so pretty much everything fascinated him. He walked to his father and started nuzzling his legs.

A broad grin plastered on his face as Firefly mentioned the other good news. Rai gave a loud bark to show he excitement and started to run in circles around their legs. "Wow, we're really going to live here with daddy?" he cried. At the mention of Ge-rad the pup was confused once more. Not until Draeg had told him that it was like Deor did he understand. Oh boy, there must be lots of places to explore and plenty of vargs to play with him. "Dragga? Wow, You're a Dragga daddy!! Can Zen and me be a Dragga someday?" A small amber form suddenly tackled him to the ground, as Zen began tugging at his ears. Laughing, both of them rolled around as he tried to pin his brother, pawing at his enthusiasticly.

[Cwen]

((Well...I'll obviously need to make an entrance soon *sighs* I've been waiting for this day to arrive for some time now...*glaresat Firefly*))

[Lydair]

A she-Varg moved briskly through the trees of her packlands; Ge-Rad truly was beautiful and the femme had paws that itched to carry her somewhere, always; when her mind was roiling with thoughts it was far from unusual for the odd-pelted healer to lurch to her lithe and graceful paws and trot away, her cyan orbs glittering brightly and her pink tongue hanging from a panting maw. Her limbs were unbelieveably long and muscles twitched and bunched through her body as she worked to keep her pace; the terrain wasn't rough to the femme, and her endurance had saved her life and taken that of lera several times, but as she quckened and leaves began skittering up behind her the femme's breath came deep but quick; steam shot in puffs from her leathery, twitching snout.
Lydair wasn't a pure Varg; any wolf that could not see her mixed heritage was either blind or had lived with uumans for far too long. her father had been a handsome and proud husky, but when he mated her mother he had left, never to be sen again and not knowing he had sired four children in his giddiness to mount her dam. Lydair's coat, like her father's, was a deep, cobalt-like black that stretched coy fingers across her back and crawled up her neck and crowned her head; it seeped into her tail. Silver was etched around her pearly maw and around her sparkling azure eyes; the rest of her was a dazzling white.

She held herself proudly; Lydair's maw raised now to scent the wind. She had planned on speaking to Draeg about her adoption of Trile, however, at the current moment she scented cubs not of Cwen's genes and another femme. Curiousity ignited in her mind and she coked her head and slowed her pace, veering sharply int he direction seh believed the smells were wafting from.
it was naught but a short trek when she suddenly found herself in front of Draeg and a strange femme; her eyes were a stunning cyan like her own and her body was oddly proportioned. The healer looked to Draeg and dipped her head in respect, offering a grin to both Varg before she sat back adn let a tail curl around her slender frame. "Hello." she barked happily, eyes darting from the supposed mother to the two cubs. She quirked a brow in question- perhaps the Firefly Koan had spoken of? 'Good day to you also, Draeg."

[Firefly]

Firefly laughed as she watched her pups and their excitement and joy when they realized that they were here to stay with their father. Firefly smiled and nuzzled Draeg and sat on her haunches watching as the sire reunited with his pups. Firefly's tan tail swished lightly behind her as her cyan orbs shimmered with joy.

Firefly then watched Zenith tackle Rai and Fly sent out a yip, "Careful you two" Firefly warned before turning her attentions back to Draeg. Many thoughts raced through her head at the moment. Surely draeg should have known that the tan hybrid would have traveled to Ge rad when their pups were old enough? Or was he afraid of both his wives meeting? Firefly knew Cwen dwelled somewhere here in the midst of the Ge rad lands. In fact the silver white she varg might just be watching them right at this moment. Firefly thought but brushed it off, No she was not afraid of the drappa though she was afraid if she ever found the hybrids pups alone.

Firefly licked her dry lips, her cyan orbs determined to leave the shadows of protection and melt away from life of fear and hiding out from reality. But just as Firefly thought about watching femme the bracken shook and the whispering sound of leaves under paws were heard. Firefly snapped and swung her head in less then a second toward the source of the sound. Her black lips curled and her nose wrinkled as she barred her canine fangs at the femme. The hairs along her spine prickled as she watched the femme pad closer a look of curiosity on her brow. Firefly then eased in wonder. The femme was of course not Cwen. She did not smell like her either, from the scents that Draeg had brought back after he had visited the drappa. Firefly still eyed her suspiciously though her lips relaxed but her hackles were still raised. She watched as the wolf with the strange peltage bowed before the dragga. Firefly gazed, as if her eyes were mirrored onto the femme before her. Fly cocked her head her tail curling in a strange arch, the tip touching the base of her tail to form a circular formation. Firefly then turned to Draeg after she made sure her pups were safe. She was cautious, and these were lands unfamiliar to her. Though know her cyan orbs were pinned on the mysterious knew femme, watching her every move her own muzzle raising as she stood proudly.

[Draeg]

The feeling of puppy teeth gnawing away at his leg caught Draeg’s attention and he averted his gaze from Firefly to see both his son’s wrapped around his legs, with an amused smile the amber Dragga gave each leg a quick shake and sent the brothers tumbling back where they instantly got up and made their way back over to their mother. Again word of Firefly’s surprise was mentioned again Draeg couldn’t help but feel another stab of doubt at his heart, however upon seeing Zenith and Raikan’s playful antics he quickly forgot about his apprehension. “Yes you both are going to stay here with me and your mother. I’ll introduce you to the rest of the pack and you’ll both be able to meet your aunt Cwen and elder brother Koan.” He growled, chuckling as Zen made an attempt at howling before turning to jump on Raikan. “You both can be whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy then your mother and I don’t care if you decide to be Sikla’s or Kerls. Being a Dragga is a lot of hard work though, there are a lot of wolves depending on daddy to protect them and make sure that there are enough lera to feed everyone. It’s kinda like being a dad to a really big litter except that I’m not related to everyone here.”

Catching Firefly’s anxious look and for a moment Draeg wondered if she was just as worried Cwen wouldn’t allow her to join the pack as he was, however she didn’t seem to be concerned with such things but rather it looked as though her thoughts were focused entirely on the amber varg. Padding over to his mate he seated himself down comfortably beside her and pressed his side firmly against hers like he had so often done, reveling in the warmth of her body and savoring the feeling of her soft fur against his. He pressed his nose gently against hers in a loving kiss before flashing her a quick smile and turning his attention back toward the tiny forms of his two son’s playing out in the clearing. At the sounds of the bushes rustling Draeg was on his feet alongside his mate, his hackles raised and his tail held high in the air in a show of dominance as he scent the air in an attempt to identify the intruder. After a moment he relaxed, lowering his hackles and signaling for Firefly to sheath her fangs though his tail still stood completely erect. Draeg watched as Lydair emerged from the bracken and made a quick survey of the area before seating herself on her haunches and bowing her head respectfully to her Dragga, knowing that she was no threat to either him or his extended family the amber varg returned the gesture. “Lydair, good to see you again. How’s Uskiya doing? Haven’t been slacking on you duties have you?” he said good-naturedly before turning his attention over to the tan hybrid. “Firefly this is Lydair, our pack’s healer. She shares a mixed ancestry like you and the kids. Lydair let me introduce you to Firefly, Zenith, and Raikan…my mate and pups.”

[Lydair]

As the tan she-Varg's hackles rose and she bore her fangs threateningly Lydair's ears twitched to lay backwards and she glanced to Draeg, unsure of how to handle the situation. Finally the fae brought her head up and gazed at Lydair with eyes as blue as her own; Lydair cocked her head in a questioning posture and stood, her own white maw raised as she glanced at Draeg's second mate. The healer wondered suddenly on what Cwen's reaction would be; it wasn't impossible she didn't mind the presence of Firefly but since her reaction to Kairi the blue-black hybrid had become wary around her gray and white drappa.
The hybrid turned to Draeg and smiled as he nodded to her, and she visibly relaxed, once again sitting back and letting her thick tail unfold around bunched back legs. At Draeg's tease she grinned and her black tail wagged. "I'm afraid Cal is going to faint from worry- he doesn't yet understand that she's in good health and is fine." the healer laughed and glanced to the tan femme who sat beside her dragga. "Hello, Firefly...as Draeg stated, I'm Lydair, Ge-Rad's healer. It'll be nice knowing there's another hybrid in my pack boundaries. I was beginning to believe i was the only one in Transylvania." She grinned to the femme, nodding to her. Glancing down to Zenith and Raikan, the healer crouched down and gazed at the brown cubs. "Hello to you both, also." Lydair spoke, her voice sweet and gentle.

(((Gah, I'm in a hurry; must go ride my babies at 12 and i only have 10 minutes to go dressed and ride over there. meh.)))

[Cwen]

The leaves fell around the silvery Drappa as she stalked the borders of Ge-Rad, her auds alert and cold grey glare staring out at the grouping of varg. She had caught the foreign scent of Deor on the breeze, along with the common scent that she had often scented off Draeg after his frequent visits to the bold pack. Firefly.
Her lip twitched as she watched the cubs emerge from behind her hybrid form and greet their father with the pure innocence of the puppies they were. He had not mentioned to her that he had sired another litter bar her own, and that they were already old enough to walk, see and hear! Subduing the raging growl and snarl that was bound to be unleashed at any moment, Cwen kept her tongue behind her teeth and simply allowed her hackles to bristle in annoyance.

‘Aunt Cwen’? It was this that simply angered the Drappa to her max and she shuffled back from the bracken’s edge, shaking her head with fury. Pulling back her black, leathery lips into a malicious yet silent snarl, she stiffened her legs and strutted out from the thick, dying undergrowth to stand before the grouping of Draeg, Lydair, Firefly and her cubs. “Oh aunt Cwen is here to see you now, yes she is my little ones,” she threw down her head to the youth’s own eye level and titled her head to the side to stare at them through her devilish orb. Their reflections shimmered off its steely surface and her head rose back up to its highest height, meeting the gaze of Firefly then Draeg. “Come on then Dragga. Introduce me to the newest member of our pack? I’m almost dying to hear her name! Especially those of her precious little whelps!” her voice oozed from her lips with a merciless spite to it. Her thick tassel was held high and proud in the air to show her status, and no way under Wolfbane’s teeth was it going to lower to any varg if she could help it.

[Firefly]

firefly turned to draeg and her ears pricked. Cwen. She let out a grudging rumble of some sort. She wasn't too keen nor excited in the introduction t draeg's other mate. Well, Firefly did not want the grey white femme near her pups, lest she decided to act rash towards her. Gryffin had told Firefly how the fae acted and Fly was wary.

Firefly eased, her tail flickered though and uncurled from its arched state as she cocked her head, her own cyan blue eyes starring int to ones that almost perfectly matched hers. Firefly looked to Draeg in wonder. Was it true? That another shared the same fate as herself? Firefly wondered but as she thought back she whimpered. How she was afraid of those teeth! Those vicious snarling teeth that had chased her from every boundary. But here in Transylvania at least she was welcome, though some wolves were still wary of her. Firefly whined though, she still could not remember what had happened before she had came here. What had happened to make her come in the first place? All Firefly knew was that it was something bad.

She looked at Lydair and wondered if she was ever chased. if she ever experienced the hate that rode on her shoulders, a burden of pain. But Firefly eased, perhaps now there would be one that understood her. Firefly sat down on her haunches and watched s Lydair approached her pups. Firefly smiled, "Don't be shy you two, say hi" she said before turning to the Healer herself. "Yes, it is quite a surprise..." Firefly said, almost in an awed form.

But it was short lived as a voice melted out from the creepers. Firefly got up at once, her hackles raised and the fur along her spine spiked as her tail flickered, ears alert as her cyan gaze pin pointed the grey and white femme as she began to emerge forth and pad towards them. So the meeting would be held earlier then she thought. Firefly stepped forward, watching the drappa coo at her pups and Firefly held back a snarl though her lips twitched, her cyan eyes contracting into slits as she watched the Fae's every movement, every twitch. Firefly stepped forward toward Cwen, "Why my name is firefly. If you must know, and I'm sure you know that I'm Draeg's mate?" firefly said, an eyebrow raised. "And if you must know. These two pups are of my blood. Raikan and Zenith" Firefly said her words slipping f her tongue. The tan hybrid was far to protective to feel at all intimidated by the large drappa. She watched her though, still with her own acute senses, "So you must be Cwen I s'pose"
