It's only my heart that you're taking
But you're so alive, it's amazing
A white wolf sits at a shrine, alone and with a strange object held gingerly in its mouth. Her ears flick backward in a clear sign of irritation before lowering her head to gently drop what is clearly an offering down at the base of the shrine. A slightly slobbery hand puppet, with wild fur and off-kilter googly eyes that make a manic expression when combined with a segmented toothy mouth meant for hands to open and close to mimic speaking. Clearly a handmade offering. The wolf opens its maw, tongue lolling out, and a voice comes out -But you're so alive, it's amazing
“I heard you like tricks and masks - that’s all I really know because my dad doesn't like - uh, is a Safrin guy. He wouldn’t love me visiting you before her.” The correction is graceless, but mischief creeps back in as if she hadn’t almost just painted a target on her dad. “Torchline has ears everywhere - so I’m being sneaky. Want to join me?” Eager humor shakes in a feminine voice, roughly beside the canine if you had particularly keen ears. The invisibility cloak she’s wearing is a temporarily purloined item from said father’s possession, but he doesn’t need to know she’s using it to visit the herald he disapproves of. “If you do, it’s just a puppet and a wolf talking, right? And if you keep it, there’s no evidence!” Torchline is known for shady deals and black markets, so it’s only fitting she traveled here for this particular approach.
