She smiled. "Then I'll pick the subject." Standing, she led him deeper into the forest, to a small glade marked with the paw-prints of huge wolves. There she let out a soft howl, and another greeted her.
Out of the shadows a dark figure emerged, a huge black wolf, with a small white star on his forehead. The way the two growled at each other, it seemed as if they were talking. Finally the black wolf settled on the ground, staring up at Topher with an expectant look.
Mariah went over and sat with the wolf. "I hope you don't mind, but he might get nervous." She waited for a response, not saying her own opinion, only waiting for his.

Topher watched the two, and shook off the thought of that she might be a werewolf or an angimus. "You want me to draw him? I can do that." he said, summoning a pencil and parchment. He resumed a seat on the ground and began to draw the wolf.

The two sat perfectly still, creating an almost serene picture on brown and green background. Mariah's thoughts wandered as she thought about her life, then she turned her attention to Topher. He seemed nice enough. Hopefully she could trust him. Miriam wasn't much in the way of a confidante, and she longed for someone new. Finally she put her attention to the other animals of the forest, communicating with them in subtle ways.

Soon he was done, and he handed the drawing to Mariah. Topher thought about how cute the new couple Jake Higgs and Chole Goyle were. They were perfect for one another. Even if Scarlette, that Ravenclaw girl still wanted Jake. He wished he were in Jake's situation. Perfect life with a perfect girlfriend to go along with it.

She smiled as she examined it. "You have much talent. Now, the question would be this: Did you enjoy doing this work?"

"I plan to do it when I get outta here, so yes. I'd have to say that I have a passion for it."

She grinned. "And that is the most important part of all." She twisted a hand in the wolf's ruff, growling at it lightly, to which it growled back. Above them a hawk sounded, and she laughed. He almost seemed forgotten, except the looks she cast at him when she thought he wasn't paying attention.

Topher watched the two, puzzled. Uh.. You talk to wolves?"

She turned a shy glance to him and nodded. "My father is a werewolf. Part of that grants me the ability to understand and reply to animals. So yes, I do." She wondered what his response would be, and guessed she should wait to tell him about the full moon.

"Oh. Well, that's.. cool? I mean, I think it is." he said with a grin.

She smiled and seemed to relax. "So..... I don't think we introduced ourselves. My name is Mariah Lupin, and this is the One, also known as Great Hunter." She gave a small bow from her seat, and Great Hunter inclined his head in a regal nod to Topher.

Topher nodded to the wolf before replying to Mariah. "Topher Moragan. Nice to meet Miss Lupin."

"So..... what shall we talk about now? Unless you'd rather return to the castle?" She sat cross-legged, waiting for his reply.

He wasn't to fascinated with the idea of going back to the castle, and his facial expression showed that. "Umm, well. We could get to know one another. I mean, we really don't know anything about each other."

She smiled slightly. "Well, I know your name, and that you like being an artist, and you plan to be one when you get out of here."
