"I don't know..." Ru answered, her voice soft as her thoughts were far away, wondering. Here she was, hoping they'd find the Dalish soon, then getting all nervous when that same possibility suddenly presented itself. But, Avi was standing beside her, so she drew courage from that. They'd be accepted, surely...
Soon enough, Beli's silver form appeared through the trees. He moved at a leisurely walk, coming to nuzzle Ru, then turn to stand at her side. With the wolves flanking them, Ru felt even more assured. It was just one man, after all. Surely he'd be no trouble.
When the man stepped into view, he seemed just that. An ordinary person. One of Ru's eyebrows arched as he spoke. From Beli and Kay, she felt no edge or excessive wariness beyond what she expected to feel in the presence of a stranger. They were alert, certainly. Beli was actually quite curious, his head tilting as his four eyes studied the stranger. Ru looked at her wolf, then back at the man.
There was something... Without thinking, she took a step toward him, then another. Her own head tilting the same as Beli's. "That's... alright." she said, the uncertainty not entirely concealed in her voice. "You can rest here for a while, if you'd like. I'm Ru, and this is my brother, Avi. You already met Kay and Beli."
Her eyes never left him. He seemed... oddly familiar. But Ru was certain she'd never seen him before.
