[biteoffherhead]

[The smell of blood, Luceti, will touch your noses long before Moro's white form appears. But when she does appear, she is heavily soaked with blood and covered in wounds, and those who can detect the stench of a demon's blood as opposed to any other kind of blood will find it all over Moro. She walks stiffly, in an attempt to not limp, as she

action

[heroicarturia]

[The stench of blood draws Saber out of her home and toward Moro. But she says nothing and only watches the wolf from afar when the white fur catches her eyes. Something seems familiar, but Saber can't put her mind to work it out while the thick smell is covering the area.]

action

[biteoffherhead]

[Though her progress is slow, she seems to intently be seeking something specific, as she doesn't seem to be paying mind to onlookers other than to shoot them glares.]

action

[heroicarturia]

[She brushes off the glare and only follows by slowly. Saber has no idea why blood is all over the wolf, but it's clear that it is doing well from the stiff movement. At the same time she isn't sure whether Moro might be a danger to others in this condition or if Moro herself is in any. But she hasn't noticed the chunk of steel just yet.]

action

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro stops, turning to growl angrily at the human following her.]

action

[heroicarturia]

[She stops at the growl, but does not flinch in fear nor does her facial expression change. It is still cold and resolute.]

For what reason does the blood of another and the stench of death surround you?

action

[biteoffherhead]

I ripped apart a demon that was destroying the forest.

[She turns around, grounding herself. This human smelled like steel, and she was ready to fight if she had to.]

action

[heroicarturia]

[When she hears the wolf speak her mind goes back to when she met the pup. Was this beast in front of her it's mother?

Saber kept her pose, but saw Moro's stance change. In an quick flash of light her armor plating is removed. It would not be honorable to fight a creature that posed no threat to the village and was especially wounded.]

Then why are you here now? Are you seeking treatment?

action

[biteoffherhead]

I am seeking my daughter.

action

[heroicarturia]

...The daughter you speak of...is she a young wolf pup? [Yeah totally misinterpreting that.]

action

[biteoffherhead]

[...Oh. Now she recognizes you.]

...That pup was I. My pup... is a girl I stole from her human parents.

action

[heroicarturia]

[Her eyes widen for a moment, but she catches herself and moves back to neutrality.]

I see.

[Stole from human parents. Saber doesn't like the sound of that at all, but it isn't her place to argue with a Goddess. They are known for their stubbornness.]

Do you know where she is, or if she is even in the village?

action

[biteoffherhead]

I know where she is.

[She isn't saying, of course.]

action

[heroicarturia]

[She nods. As long as Moro isn't threatening the village then it should be alright.]

Very well. I shall not keep you from her then. Please do not be offended at my intrusion - I was merely making sure the village would be safe from harm. The stench is quite overpowering.

action

[biteoffherhead]

For now.

action

[heroicarturia]

...What does that mean exactly?

action

[biteoffherhead]

Should the humans bring harm to the forest, I will devour them.
