He sat a bit away from her, his own wings folded up to his side. Instead of butterfly wings, he held large bird wings.. Fara found that incredibly interesting. The different types of mutations other wolves had, as well as herself. She'd heard whispers that she was a Faerydae, which meant Butterfly Wolf. The woman figured that when Bones invited her in, he meant nothing but innocence in his words. He didn't seem like a bady guy - he geniuinely wanted to speak with her. She felt her heart begin to melt a little bit at that thought. A handsome man such as Bones wanted to talk to her.. increible. When she asked about him, she saw for a second a bit of fear flashed through his eyes. Immediately, Fara felt bad for asking about him. They were strangers after all, she wasn'te expecting him to dive straight into his life story with her. She even offered to go first! A bit of guilt flooded her system, while an uncomfortable sounding chuckle left Bones' maw. Sheepishly, the woman, glanced at the ground. She was about to open her maw and apologise for asking such a blunt question, but the man began to speak. "Well, I've been in Starfall for a few seasons now but I only just the day you met me unearthed." he began to speak, staring at the ground. Fara looked up at him, intently listening. "Truth be told, I'm the brother of the King who loves just over these mountains. He's surely looking for me, if not out for some sort of scheme to pluck me from this den when no one expects it. He's why I've been hiding for so long . . . I couldn't hunt, I could barely scrape by with the food I'd scavenge, water was the hardest to find." His gaze found her, and sympathy flooded through her emotions. He sounded.. scared. Hurt, broken.. Fara just wanted to comfort him, but she wasn't sure if he'd accept that. So instead, the ex-Princess stayed quiet and listened to him. "My brother has hated me since I was born with him, apparently I'm the offspring of another man but I shared the same incubation period with him and Bastian. He doesn't see me as a true brother, not even a Dane even though that's what we were all raised to be. But me and Bastian don't crave for a life of fighting and whoring. At least . . . I don't think I wish to fight." even his laugh sounded sad. Her heart was breaking for the poor man.. he'd seen so much, dealt with so much. She couldn't imagine being hunted all the time by a sibling. "Honestly, I'm just so tired of running I'm beginning to think I've run out of options but to act like the monster he sees me as. I was running from him after he put me in prison, blaming me for his crimes, and when I finally could I ran. Then we ended up here and I've hid ever since until the other day." He gave another laugh, but it still sounded sad in her opinion. "I . . . I'm sorry if I said too much. What about you, what are some things about you?" Fara shook her head, in response to the 'i'm sorry'. He shouldn't have to be sorry for saying his story. The girl stood, moving closer to the man and sat directly in front of him. She gazed up at him with her rose colored orbs, offering a small smile of sympathy. "Bones, you don't have to be sorry for sharing your story. After all, I did ask. I'm sorry you've been through so much.. You didn't deserve that. You did nothing wrong, from the sounds of it. " She murmured to him. "You shouldn't have to hide. You'll be safe here in Hawthorne.. Lucaya and Nibris will keep everyone here safe. If war is to start.. Well. We'll have to come out victorious." She spoke, glancing away before back up at Bones. He was taller than her after all. The woman took a deep breath before diving into her own story. "As for me.. Well. I was raised a Princess of a Pack from some faraway land. I have no clue how far from here it is. My mother was my best friend at the time. My father, on the other hand.. cruel. Power-hungry." She offered a small laugh, shaking her head. "He had offered me up to some Prince from another Kingdom. Against my will, mind you. I protested, I cried, I did everything I could. The Prince.. he was known for forcing his way onto women. I didn't want to be with him, I could never love someone like that. But most importantly, I wasn't allowed to choose who I could be with." She shrugged, turning her gaze onto the ground. The worst part was coming, and she always had difficulty saying it. It was fresh in her mind, however. "I told my mother all of this.. everything about how I was feeling. She disappeared for a bit, and next thing I know I'm being chased out of the Kingdom. Accused for the Murder of my own Father. They screamed that I was a traitor. I loved my Kingdom, I really did. I never could have done that to Father. I came to the conclusion that I was framed by Mother, that she did this to be in control. All along, she was more power-hungry than my father was." She looked back up at Bones, sadness echoing through her eyes. "I didn't kill my father, Bones. I couldn't have. I loved him, as badly as he treated me. I loved mother. I loved everyone in that Kingdom. But.. things happen for a reason. Now I'm here." The ex-Princess sighed for a moment, before shaking her head lightly. "I'm here. And I get to choose my own destiny. I get to choose I be with, what my life will look like. And so do you, Bones. I know.. your brother is in these lands, hm? We'll be safe in Hawthorne, Bones. I may look like some girl who can't protect herself, but I will, and if it comes down too it I'll protect you too." She ended her little ramble, giving him a small smile.
