Pawsteps and the rustling of foliage announced Sephiroth’s arrival, eyes sharp and aquamarine in hue searching for the source of the small voice he had picked up during a small trip through the territory.  His eyes searched until something blue appeared in the corner of his vision and far down on the ground.  The male had to literally look down his muzzle to catch sight of Gwen, the creature far far smaller than he.  Hm.  He hadn’t put much thought into the well being and lives of creatures like this, animals he thought lower than the beasts who inhabited the Rosebloods.  But apparently they did have their own little lives.  Hm.

”And where have you come from?”  The Lord’s honey smooth and deep voice would inquire at Gwen’s intentions, the male seeing no purpose in mundane and mindless action without purpose.  Sephiroth would buckle his front legs to bend down and get a better look at the bird, unblinking and his attention focused on the curious creature.

Sephiroth would rise back up to his full height while keeping his eyes on what he assumed was a newcomer.  His mind worked to come to the conclusion that Gwen clearly had nowhere else to go and honestly probably wouldn't survive by herself.  He remembered the fire that consumed their old territory, the young one called Stockholm he had saved and felt some sort of attachment to.  Was this the same?  A strange feeling of warm rose up in his chest that he didn't fully understand or dare to admit to.  He supposed this one was worth the care.

"I can assure you I am the most frightening thing here."  Sephiroth would rumble, gentling his deep voice the best he could.  The statement was true, the spirits that were currently skulking about scattered when he entered a scene, his own strength clear in the hard muscles under his pelt being enough to drive them off.  "And this form was the one the universe decided to bestow upon me."  Yeah, the kid probably wouldn't understand a word of what he was saying.  But that was simply how he was, cryptic and mysterious and overly dramatic.

For once a look of amusement crossed his face as Gwen's attention shifted to Jiyu, his icy eyes gleaming with a small glow.  "Perhaps one day she could teach you."  A purr tone of amusement came as his response, the smallest of smiles on his face.  His eyes flickered back down to the small bird, the tension that normally kept him held tightly seeming to release him for a little bit.  "If you want to stay with us we could...make sure you're safe."  Positive emotion and showing it was a foreign concept to Sephiroth, his attempts of being friendly feeling awkward to him.  It was a personal hurdle he would have to overcome soon.
