By the time Faris was done speaking Aiko had disbelief cinched on her face.
"Princess Cassandra is a goddess reborn and I am in a prophecy who is supposed to help lift this curse from the pack and also her."
Faris playfully moved his head up and down and answered, still nipping the urge to touch her.
"Pretty much it."
"Call me intrigued. Are you sure the person is me, though," Aiko asked, just to be sure. Her fingers pressed together to contain the excitement bubbling inside her.
What could be better than to redeem herself by becoming part of the inner circle and going on what seemed to her an adventure?
"You are the only trickster fox spirit I know. There is no female in our pack who possesses a fox spirit. The other statements point towards you as well, walking in darkness but wishing to change. I can bet it's you."
Faris smiled warmly, his face and eyes softening for her in those seconds.
