Kora had no idea what was going on. First she had been on her free hour - tucking herself away in the dense trees of the slave yard for her 60 minutes of freedom. But then something felt wrong. Her vision began to blur - slowly, making her wonder if this was another affect of wolfsbane or something worse. Something all too permanent. It wasn’t long until the young wolf was blind completely as she stumbled her way through the foliage in a near panic. She couldn’t focus - too scared, her sense running a muck as the sound of sirens rang loudly in her ears. The sound made her flinch and for once a real sort of fear settled in her gut. She felt helpless, settled into a darkness she had no control over and no way out.
But the first rational thought that came to her mind soothed her for the briefest moment while disgusting her at the same time. Sidian. Kora liked to think she loathed him - after all, she was convinced he was the very reason she was on this island. His presence there was too coincidental for her not to form conspiracy theories. And he seemingly lived to torment her. However, he was a witch - a powerful one, she could give him that much. And he was…familiar. And now, trapped in her head - she needed that familiarity. So after a moments pause to ground herself, Kora took a deep breath as she focused on her other heightened senses while chaos sounded around her. She hadn’t realized it, but she’d already begone to move as she went in search for the shop in which he owned. She, unfortunately knew the smell of the green witch and his earthly powers anywhere.
She was in disarray once she’d found her way into the town - streets she knew by smell, but kept herself to the back allies. She’d fallen twice, tripping over objects in her path. Blindness made her clumsy, scared - but determined. And when someone had grabbed her, the shewolf fought back with claws and teeth and every bit of strength she had in her. She didn’t want to go back to the cells like this - not with a guard or an unknown resident. She was putting a lot of faith into this - but Sidian would help her, she had to believe this. Even if it came at a steep price.
Kora knew she was close when she could smell soil and the exotic scent of foreign flowers. Many she herself was familiar with after years of studying their uses. One didn’t need to be a witch to know how to use them. Maybe she could heal herself if he’d just give her the proper tools. Her hand stayed flat against the brick wall at her side as she walked, using it as a guide as these smells lead her forward. She was close to the docks, could hear the ocean, feel it in the air around her, as well as the feel of Sidian’s power sparking around her. Maybe this had been the worst decision she would ever make, but it wasn’t like she could turn back now.
There was a slight hint of familiarity that struck a flame within Sidian’s mind, then again, he knew most of the slaves that were in the cells. Those that were claimed were not as well known to him but he doubted they would have been making an attempt at getting to the docks as he assumed the others would be attempting. His beloved plants moved around him at his will, doing so from the back and front of his shop as well, however, he would be the first thing that anyone saw before he made his plants over take them. It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle anyone directly with his magic, this was simply more fun than he was willing to admit. As the figure drew closer the familiarity that once made him perk a brow now made his smile broaden in absolute amusement.
He soon was moving closer to her as well, a low chuckle leaving his lips as he finally came within a few paces of the she-wolf. “Ahhh, what a good girl, come to find me in this moment of disarray... I’m almost proud.” He cooed, tone very much genuine, she must have fought her way here he was sure. At least at some point, but otherwise she did not look harmed.
With a tilt of his head Sidian inspected her better, dark hues calculating and almost worried that someone had gotten to her before he could again. There wasn’t a soul he wanted punishing Kora but himself, there was a selfish motive hidden behind his cruel acts, a selfish one that was more intimate than he would ever be willing to admit. This was the closest to affection as he would ever get. The plant which grew on his also burst forth from the cracks and quickly made their way up the she-wolfs legs to hold her in place as he moved around to circle her. Coming back around to face her Sidian huffed out a small and almost satisfied sigh, hand moving from his pocket to let his fingers graze against her chin lightly.
Just as slow and sudden as the act had been did Sidian drop his hand away, letting the vines retreat from her form. There was, of course, only one other reason she could have been in this area-- the docks, perhaps he was not as deep into her mind as she was in his. This, naturally, was a problem and it caused his brow to crease just a little. “Unless, of course--- you were trying to make a break for it. In which case, I would be very disappointed in you my sweet. Say it isn’t so--” His voice pleaded in a mocking way, not really meant to make her feel mocked, but definitely an attempt to hide the real plea within his statement. He wanted her to have sought him out instead of simply been trying to make a break for it.
