The sight of the stranger approaching from a distance made her muscles stiffen in anticipation. As he approached, it was clear he was over twice her size. Trisdi wiggled her toes into the soil subconsciously as she knew if he threatened her, she’d need to run. He questioned her - understandably so - but he seemed a little too on edge for her preference.
Though she was tense, Tris made her best effort to show she was no threat to the larger male with her body language. She tucked her ears and bowed her head low out of respect, a practice she had seen her mother do as a pup. "My name is Trisdi Halynn, a modest vagrant," she started, her voice confident and clear. She then lifted her head just enough to see him, but still low to show her submission.
"I have been living around the geysers for a while, but I need to move south for the winter so I won’t starve. I humbly ask for safe passage either alongside your borders or through your kingdom so I can reach the Brightwood… or further south if it was claimed since the last time I had been there." Her voice was almost melodic as if it was intentional to prove that she meant no harm. Well, it was intentional, but there was nothing wrong with playing nice when she could avoid conflict.
Tris knew that even if she stayed out of claimed land, there would be no repercussions for a kingdom wolf taking action against her should he decide so. Even if she was ready to disappear back to the geysers entirely, she kept her expression pleasant and non-threatening as she awaited a response.
