Rayen;
Sullivan's words were cropped and stretched in odd places. Rayen's ears flicked as she listened to him. Even in her travels far and wide, she had never heard a wolf with inflection like that. It was fascinating, and Rayen found herself staring. She didn't drop her eyes this time, because without the close-proximity accompanying it it didn't feel at all strange. All wolves stared at each other, didn't they? He asked if they were adventuring, and Leo answered. He was very open in sharing that he didn't know who he was or why he was here.
The loner still deep within Rayen wouldn't have let so much go. For all Leo knew, when he told her about what had happened to him, she could have been the wolf who had done it and had only come back to finish the job. She wasn't a naturally suspicious wolf, but her lifestyle had forced her to learn to be.
"It is strange," Rayen agreed with Leo. She jumped down the steps again and came to stand by the two males. She wasn't as brawny as either of them, but she bet she was faster. She smiled, and kept the thought to herself. Now was not the time to become competetive.
Suddenly, Leo launched from the smoothed rock at a crow. Rayen barely had time to react, before he had it in his jaws. She raised her eyebrows and met Sullivan's gaze for a moment. What had just happened?
"I guess you really were hungry," She laughed, stretching her back with a yawn, rump in the air—the polar opposite of what Leo had just done. Had she been hungry, no doubt she would have launched onto the crow the moment she saw it as well—loners had to be good hunters or risk starvation. There were no packs to bring in meat when you were on your own.
She shook her head when Leo offered some to her. She still felt a little bit odd about sharing meat with males. None of the males she had known before this had ever done so—and some would even offer a bite as a trick, and were an unsuspecting female to take a bite, she would get attacked.
"I'm not hungry," She lied, but gave a genuine grin all the same.
She craned her neck, and realized that they weren't at the top of the strange structure yet, and more of the strange smooth steps lead off around the side of a pillar-like rock.
"I think it keeps going," She hummed, and took off without waiting for the others or testing if it was safe first. She ducked quickly past the arch that had almost dropped a rock on Leo, and started going up and around the steps, seeing what lay beyond the eyeline.
