She was no stranger to all of the seasons, least of all winter - her coven's rituals and celebrations did not stop just because winter sank its fangs into the earth. No, there was plenty to do by fireside. If she focused, she could smell embers and burning wood, the heady mixture of incense. There was revelry, life to be found between winter's barren ribs.

Bits and bobs of foliage were dotted through his fur, suggesting he either did not care to keep up appearances or did not know how. She could not miss the scar sprawled across his face, however, and a vacant socket where a sage-toned eye should have been.
Without knowing how he received it, a part of her became guarded, but none of that was reflected outwardly. Her expression remained curious, a layer of doubt suggesting she had little to fear from this man whose words were halting and manner uncertain.
