SKILL : SEER ( 3 / 5 )
Her attention was at war with the appearance of the stranger and the offering of sanctuary spread at her back in the form of white sands and a gentle sea. She could devote only a piece to each party, and it spurred the latent distrust she held for others into motion. There was no want to turn her back on him, though he seemed largely benign, and her hazel eyes retained a critical edge as she sized him up.
His manner was friendly, to her surprise, and he seemed just as mystified as she. It worked to settle some of her thrill of automatic fear that she often masked with a prickly exterior, though not by much. Carefully, she turned so her side was to him and she could easily glance at him from her periphery if he dared to try anything untoward.
It felt like it should be an illusion by all rights, but considering the other wolf saw it, too... either she was hallucinating him or they were both being treated to some strange yet wonderful display of this realm's magic.
As much a woman of science as the supernatural, Siobhan turned her attention away from the waters and looked to the strange with a renewed sense of curiosity. The animosity had faded as the gears churned inside her mind. There were a few ways to prove he was real and, unfortunately, all of them relied upon her physically touching him.
It was not a prospect she looked forward to, but she needed to know for her own sanity. If her paw met nothing but open air, she would know she was within the grips of some sort of illusory magic or her mind was compromised by something.
She pressed forward, closer to Ashkii until she could lift one paw and place it directly on the middle his face if he didn't move away.

I was in a forest, but a couple of birds wouldn't leave me alone until they led me here,Siobhan admitted, one ear flickering as she watched the sea crawl along the pristine shore. It had been so long since she'd been to a beach, but she thought fondly of the weightlessness that came with sharing the sea's berth.
... I do not know where this is, truthfully.
