Noah’s eyes went to Aimee as Elann answered, noting the wolf still asleep on her back, the blanket strewn over her tight-wrapped  lower body, her head still lulled away from both of them to face the opposite wall of the canvas. He looked back to her as she said she didn’t think she was ready for a full conversation. Noah agreed silently. The two Kelvics had been speaking to her in a handicapped way to make sure she got the basics of the language before they expanded upon it. Fratava was a language spoken in a very fast paced way, the words seemingly blending together and would easily lose someone not well versed in the patterns of Zeltivans. Svefra were far worse than the mainlanders though, sometimes speaking circles around the most practiced Fratavan speaker if they so wanted to.

“When Aimee wakes up,” he said in Fratava, “you can try it.”

Across the way the wolf groaned and brought her hand up to her face, rolling her head to face upwards as the hand slid down from her forehead to her chin. “I’m awake,” she groggily announced as Elann’s hand went over Noah’s back, pausing then asking the question about their mother.

“She should be,” Noah went. “Aimee said she left to see father, they haven’t been away from one another in a long time.”

Another groan came from Aimee as she sat up and turned about, throwing her legs off of the bench so the tips of her toes resided on the floor. Her arms were put above her head as she stretched and yawned, her back arching and something resembling a whine coming from her as she yawned, opening and closing her mouth sleepily. Her eyes, the same pale shade as Noah’s, looked to the wagon’s exit as she noticed the pitter patter of the raindrops.

“It’s still raining?” she sighed. “Noah make it stop.”

“I don’t want to,” he answered in the clearly disagreeable Fratavan tone though his mood was soft.

“You’re no dove at all,” she retorted, combing through the flattened side of her hair to breathe new life into it. Her eyes went from the wagon’s exit to Elann. “I expected her to be back by now but all this rain probably stopped her.”
