"Savasra. What a pretty name," Kalimalka said, pronouncing an extra syllable though Svasra didn't comment, only offering a passive smile to the woman. "I've been stuck all trussed up like a pheasant all of last night and most of the day..." she continued, though as she trailed off her visage hardened, causing Svasra to back up a tad unconsciously wary.
"Gods-dammed WOLVES!" the Kelvic burst out, and Svasra gaped at her as she continued to rant, "It was not their territory but saw fit to run me out anyway! For the carcass of some half-rot saber cat. They are hardly a big pack, if they decide to mark that territory as well they will be spreading themselves too thin. Their greed will get them killed. And good petching riddance!" Svasra's eyes had widened in surprise, flinching as Kalimalka spat out her curse. Wow, she really doesn't like this wolves, eh? she couldn't help but think, acknowledging Kalimalka's words with a small nod.
"Ah," Svasra started, though she found nothing to really say after such. Is wasn't like she could really relate to the problem ... Lucky though, Kalimalka seemed aware of her floundering, and was quick to redirect the conversation after a short apology that Svasra waved away.
"And do tell me what you are doing out here alone. No offence Miss, but you're not exactly a physical marvel. Wolves are a piece of cake compared to what else is out here," Kalimalka asked as she turned a keen gaze on the storyteller, smiling in a lightly tense fashion. Svasra couldn't help but laugh at her words, and it seemed to break the nervous air she had. As the chuckling drifted away, Svasra beamed at the Kelvic.
"I came only for some peace and quiet," she said with a small shrug, "Seeing as it is one of those lazy days where I must pass the hours before I work and cannot find the will to do anything but come into the wastes. I had no plans to stay long, nor past dark," she continued. Svasra blinked her ever-changing gaze and tilted her head. "And why are you out here all alone? If you came into Avanthal any one of the residents would have helped you."
As the two spoke, and Kalimalka finished her bath, Svasra glanced towards the sky to guesstimate a time. The sun was beginning to set, which was vague enough for her to know it was time to start the trek home. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Kalimalka, I hope we run into each other again some day," Svasra said with a gentle smile before turning on her heel and trotting back to her Hold, humming lightly with the joy of meeting new friends.
