"Sometimes when a person has the power with an animal, as you obviously have with the bear, the person chooses to have the spiritual head of the group make permanent marks on their skin to represent that animal.Sometimes, the animal himself leaves the mark, often with claw marks." Isolde explained.<br/><br/>"I would be very pleased to examine your back, Jarvan,"she answered,her voice suddenly going huskier. Time seemed to slow as her eyes came up to meet his. She smiled. Then she cleared her throat to continue,<br/><br/>"Animal spirits guide us and bring us messages from the spirit world to make our earthy journey bearable. Being chosen by an animal, as you seem to have been by the bear,we can share their attributes as well."<br/><br/>Isolde's eyes were caught by the tense drama that was surrounding Kell and his comrades. She shifted uneasily on the bench.Nothing was visibly creating the tension but her natural senses went on alert. Jarvan's breath on her cheek refocused her attention. In her anxiety, she had moved a little closer to him, until her red curls tumbled onto his arm.  She smiled at him,<br/><br/>"Sorry," she started, loosing herself in his eyes, "do you feel uneasy? or is my imagination running away with me?"
