ISRAFEL
The idea of wings had been the only thing Israfel could think of - so once that thought is taken away, she doesn’t know what to expect. Which perfectly sums up their friendship so far and does not deter her in the slightest. The last place Reave had wanted to show her had ended up resulting in a fine spray of blood, some of which still freckled her golden coat, but even that wasn’t enough to make her cautious. Not when she wants to know what it is that is causing that glint in his eye, not when she enjoys both his nearness and whatever smiles he might send her way - even if they are often mischievous.
Like there is a tether between them, when he slips away from her she steps forward, her eyes bright with a curious grin. “Lead the way.” She says to him again, the same words she’d told him when he had taken her from the forest and given her a new home. This time, at least, her excitement outweighs her nerves and the words are not so breathless.
She doesn’t blame Reave for the guilt and blood she discovered in the cave. He had taken her in there but she’d been the one to disintegrate the bird. To her, all he had done was show her new things. And to someone who had lived her life in the same spot for the first few years, she was grateful for each and every one so far.
As she falls into step just behind him - happy to be led wherever he wishes - she attempts to satisfy some of her curiosity about him. “How long have you lived here?”
