[color=7809A4]"Unprovoked hostility... It threatens us, brother."[/color]

[color=16A75E]“It does,”[/color] he agreed but continued to focus more on the tree than the wolf. Cyrus continued with his goal to heal at least one tree, only returning to Viola’s side once he saw new growth forming. Though many people spoke, Cyrus looked first toward Viola. [color=16A75E]“I think we frighten him.”[/color] He said shrugging off the wolf’s aggression as the acts of a frightened animal. He looked back at the big wolf Ulysus, [color=16A75E]“Do you dislike all travelers or is there some issue between your village and the River Fairy Kingdom we are unaware of?”[/color] He asked, trying to pinpoint where the hostility stemmed from. 

[color=D3943B]“We're not fighting, right?”[/color] 

[color=16A75E]“We are not fighting now. But when we did it was on the same side. If you are all friends of Phia’s, that need not change.”[/color] Cyrus pointed out, both for Viola and Ulysus’s benefit; it was not in their best interest to fight with Phia’s allies, unprovoked hostility or not. 

Then Phi spoke up, and Phia spoke [i]with authority[/i]. [color=16A75E]“Did you hear that?”[/color] He leaned closer and whispered to Viola, words kept hidden but the joy in them extended to his smile. [color=16A75E]“Her voice knows what the mind has forgotten. Phia now speaks with the authority of a princess, part of her remembers.”[/color] He continued to smile even as it became clear that Ulysus was not swayed by the other’s words. 

As Ulysus moved toward both Viola and him, Cyrus moved to stand between his sister and the wolf. A protective gesture but not for Viola’s sake; if Ulysus continued his threatening behavior, it would not end well for the wolf.

[color=16A75E]“Your threats bother my sister, you will stop them.”[/color] His tone was soft but stern, not so much a threat as it was a warning. [color=16A75E]“Now if all you want is to spend some time with us, I am happy to oblige, but understand, while we mean you and your village no harm, we will not be in anyone’s custody. It is a civil conversation, or we are done speaking with you.”[/color] Cyrus extended a hand to Ulysus after offering what he saw as a reasonable compromise. He would not willingly sacrifice his freedom to appease a hostile wolf, and he had a feeling Viola, rightfully, would not respond well to such a thing either. [/color]
