Heda had always found comfort surrounded by trees. It always brought her back to Taigan roots, something she had once buried so deep within her. Even now, with frustration and worry riddling her delicate features the woman can't help but gaze into the maze of trees. There large trunks creating intricate twists and turns as they fade into darkness within the depths of the forest. She almost gets lost in it, wide eyes staring deeply into the intoxicating shadows, giving her peace of mind for just a moment.
As a voice breaks through the silence, she returns to reality hazel eyes blinking alert to meet a face laced with familiarity. She doesn't know this stranger, how could she? She has no more ties to this earth, all her friends and family are no more at least that's what she assumed. Yet his iridescent blue toned coat says otherwise, she would know that signature color anywhere. Her son in law, Wolfbane had the very same hue adorning his body. She can't help but wonder, was this stranger one of her grandchildren? "It can't be." She breathes "Are you one of Lepis'?" she stops herself as the words spill out of her navy lips. She shouldn't have said anything this stranger barely knows her, let alone wants to reunite with an old estranged family member. But she said it, there was no going back now.
Heda stares at him intently waiting for an answer, with curiosity glinting in her eyes, she almost forgets that he asked a question. She doesn't truly know how to answer it at first, the sting of loss causes her brows to furrow in irritation, as she projects a thin layer of happiness upon herself just enough to mend the sting of her own emotions, leaving her emotionless and neutral. "There was a storm. The meadow is gone, and I don't know much of anything else."
Heda is almost inclined to ask the same, but judging from his own question the women doubts he knows much more than she does. Instead she offers up her name, "I'm Heda by the way, and you are?"
