eyes traveling to the sky she sighed, taking another pull from her cigarette before she blew the smoke out through her nose, coughing slightly at the tickle. her eyes narrowed at the sky as clouds scuttled across the impressive midnight blue sky, obscuring the rising moon and the gentle caresses of the stars like butterfly kisses on her pained mind. watching the smoke lift and dance through the air she quickly became mesmerized, chasing the fleeting images from her thoughts of the past. she swallowed and chewed on mari's words, mulling over them for a while before formulating some sort of answer.

"I would much rather get myself established here now, instead of doing so later. this is just a warning to the demons in town to stay away." she finally responded, fingers finding grooves and patterns in the roughly hewn dirt stairs. she knew mari worried over her, the same as she worried for her, especially with the tracks she had found. she had woken earlier that day to find the wards on her home attacked, and had known it was time to set up shop.

when asked if she was alright she gave a coy smile, "Am I feeling alright?? Have I ever felt alright, berry? mmm. i am fine if that's what you mean. nothing new." she told her softly, blue eyes on the face of the girl she had once loved as a partner. looking away she sighed, rubbing her knees to warm her hands. she had a big hunt coming, but she did her best not to give it away.
