The feline watched the wolf pointedly, wondering whether or not they would believe her retelling. Eve by no means knew how to read the subtle body language of the Animalia of this world, so as the stranger contemplated what she had said, she was left clueless. Her ears perked as they attempted to empathize, eliciting a small pull at the corners of her jaws, the beginnings of an amused smile. "That is one way to say it." she answered, her long tail flicking at the surface of the water and sending droplets flying. All Eve had done since her incarnation was analyze the form she had been given, studying the way it moved, breathed, functioned. She was not unfamiliar with felines, and thus had a basic understanding of how to walk, eat, and sleep, but the hardest part was understanding the desires that her body had day after day. Eve had wanted for nothing physical when she was a goddess. All she needed do was think of what she wanted to do with the mortal world and it would occur in just that way. Every action she took was out of pure want, never need. And now, not only could she rarely do just what she pleased, but she was governed by the biological necessities of her anatomy. "Fine, though I find it difficult to put certain things into practice. Hunting primarily. I am sure I've existed for a thousand years or more and yet I am as helpless as a kitten now." she explained, a humorous note in her voice. "But the feline is quite a beautiful animal, would you not agree?" she asked, tilting her head a bit as she waited for an answer. There was beauty to be found in the wolf before her, yet canines were much less elegant, much less agile. Eve was glad her father had possessed enough mercy to not strike her down as a panting, inflexible beast. Perhaps that was too harsh a judgement. After all, this wolf had the glorious wings of a bird and an aura of class thus far in their interaction.
The stranger's explanation of their meeting Folke and forming a bond was interesting. She wondered if the slithering creature had the same emotional intelligence as the pair of them, or if it just saw an opportunity for food and protection. Regardless, it seemed the wolf had grown a deep fondness for it, so Eve would keep that notion to herself. "I must admit I have never seen such a thing. My domain...Or I suppose, my former domain, Phesemos, possessed only creatures with limbs and fur or hair. As such, Folke is quite a curious thing to see." She watched Folke again for a moment before becoming distracted by a flurry of birds that passed overhead. "What was it like? The place you were washed away from?" her ears perked as she met the wolf's gaze again.
