Larea smiled at Zel as he healed the wolf, even if it was unlikely he would see it. She was grateful he was willing to go out of his way to help it, as there wasn't much she herself could do. She watched the process with great interest; though she could not see much going on, it was usually herself that was being healed, and she was never able to really see what happened as her mind was usually focused elsewhere.<br/>She giggled as the healing finished and Ahmaht picked the wolf up, carrying it to the water and bathing it. She felt slightly guilty that she hadn't helped at all - even Sigrun had tried to do something - although Larea doubted she would have been able to even lift the wolf in the first place, and she had no healing powers to speak of. Still, all that really mattered was that the wolf was healed, fed, and would soon be back in good health.<br/>What happened next was something she never expected. The wolf kneeled down into the water, disappearing from sight for a few moments, and when it returned, it was no longer a wolf at all. It was a man, and possibly the most normal looking one out of the 3 in immediate company. Her eyes grew wide and she stepped back, partially in surprise and partially in fear, as he walked out of the water and thanked them each. He spoke just like any human being would, and judging by his words there was no doubt he and the wolf were one and the same, but she still had a difficult time allowing herself to believe it.<br/>When he finished thanking the other three, he began to approach her. She stood paralyzed, not sure how to react, or if she even should, and ended up just staring at him while her mind was racing through a million different questions, not the least of which was what he wanted with her. She hadn't exactly done anything when it came to healing the wolf, after all.<br/>He spoke his name, and she relaxed a little bit, mouthing out the word in turn. She kept expecting the things he said or did to be foreign, but with every moment that passed he seemed more and more human. She thought the question he asked over for a moment; 'you and your people?' What could he mean by that? His manner was almost as if he were addressing a leader, but out of her companions she thought herself the least likely to earn that title through appearance. Regardless, it was clear the question was directed at her, so she slowly nodded, still staring almost unblinkingly at him.
