[Shenandoah]

"And you should be more truthful," Shenandoah said with a smile playing over her lips. A small bundle of white fur bounded out of the forest and bounced up onto Shen's shoulder. She looked at the strange creature for a moment, recognizing it to be another forest spirit but with less intelligence than she. The long whip-like tail waved around behind her as she returned her gaze to Rain, her relaxed position never once changing.

"It is not kind to lie to yourself or to others that are not aiming to harm you." It wasn't a very subtle note that she was not there to fight, but Shenandoah felt that she had to restate her intentions and she had no issues against making sure that her agenda was at the fore. The spear that she had carried into the clearing had even been laid at her feet. Within easy reach, of course, but not in her hand.
