When he arrived to the market there was a very confused look on his face. RhyDin was not proving to be any different than the other places he had been, despite what he had been told. His palm pressed to the stubble on his cheek and rubbed lightly. In passing the fountain, a coin was dug out of his pocket and tossed in. You owe me a wish, he thought to himself with a smirk, and sat down on a bench.
Across the market square, a head of golden hair lifted, shining molten eyes flickering across the gathered people as a nose sniffed delicately at the air. There, a scent she had not encountered before in this strange place the two-legs called RhyDin. One of her own, and yet not of her own pack, as so many were here. The scent was caught, followed, and she found herself gazing with disquieting focus at the one seated near the fountain, herself stood in the lieu of a busy grocery stall.
He gave a very canine twitch of his nose and took a deep breath. There was a visible lifting of his brow, and he didn't have to look up to find where the female's was coming from. He smiled to himself as he shoved a hand in his pocket, and looked down at the worn combat boots and faded jeans. He knew he was being watched. When the hand was withdrawn, it contained a cigarette, coaxed from inside a pack hidden in his pocket. He lit it; then, and only then, there was the slightest of glance to her.
That glance was all the invitation she knew she was likely to get. Moving out into the open, she was revealed to be wearing clothing she must have stolen off someone's clothes' line, for the shirt and jeans were woefully big on her, held tight about her waist with corded rope. With slow, certain steps, she approached from directly in front of him, no sign of hostility in her posture or scent. When she deemed herself close enough, her lips formed a very quiet bark of greeting. Clearly, this one had spent too long on all-fours recently.
"Hello to you, too." An upnod was attached to the greeting and he looked at her from behind the sunglasses and ball cap. He was deeply tanned, and in a faded t-shirt. She was certainly something to look at, even in her choice of attire. This was where Wyatt took notice of her choice of belts and canted his head. His own belt had cracked and broken in so many places he wasn't quite sure exactly what all was holding it together.
Her lips quirked into a smile more worthy of being called a smirk at this and she moved closer, though remained standing until she was invited to sit. It was a custom among the two-legs that at least she knew at the moment. The longer you stayed a wolf, the more the wolf shaped your thoughts, and she had been a wolf for several weeks before resuming her human form. Her head tilted as she studied him, arms coming to rest in a wrap about her waist. "Faolan," she introduced herself from behind that almost impish smile, inclining her head to him. "Formerly of the Mountains Mourne Pack." Her voice had the quick, lilting brogue of the northern reaches of Ireland, though it was a little more refined than most Irishmen could manage. Molten eyes blinked slowly as she watched him, clearly expecting the introduction to be returned.
"Wyatt. Would you like to sit?" He moved over and pulled long from his cigarette. After expelling the cloud of blue grey smoke, he nodded once, adding, "There is nothing else after that, no fancy title or anything. I'm pretty sure it's just Wyatt." Unless it was 'stop that thief', or 'hey, put that down'. What did it really matter, though"
With a sinewy motion of limbs, she folded herself into a seat beside him, arms lowering to let her hands grip the edge of the bench lightly. "There is little enough use of titles to us," she mused quietly. "I use it only to remind myself of where I come from." She watched him from the corner of her eye, drinking in her fill of his scent at the same time. "You are new to this place?"
"You could say that." His nose twitched again as a woman wandered past them with an armful of bags. The woman was talking to her friend, and with an extending of his arm, his hand slid it into the bag closest to them. When the arm was returned to resting on the back of the bench, he was holding a leather belt, apparently what had made his nose twitch. Once the girl was out of sight, he dropped it onto Faolan's lap. "I've been to a hundred places just like this."
