Ruan
"No, she does not."
The words slide into the conversation easily as Demian made his way to them. He greeted Ruan by name, stopping at his side. Ruan dipped his head in respect to the leader, though the action would go unnoticed by the man. It was the principle of the thing, maybe.
Ruan took a step back as Demian addressed the woman. He almost felt as though his leader was allowing him equal footing, and it only inflated his respect for him. But he knew his place, and positioned himself no further than Demian's shoulder. An old-fashioned manner, perhaps, but it felt right.
He kept his silence, watching the interaction passively. She seemed to recall Demian's name and it was clear they knew each other from another time. Then she introduced herself as Thorunn, though the name did not spark his memory.
"Welcome to Taiga, Thorunn. I hope your visit is as comfortable as your Tephra home," he welcomed her, then fell silent once again. He shifted awkwardly, not really sure if he should leave them to reacquaint themselves with each other, but feeling a sense of loyalty locking him at Demian's side. The stallion couldn't possibly need his assistance with anything, and yet he felt his place for this moment was right where he stood.
