There was a glorious beauty in the silence of nature, and there wrapped around her like a cocoon it provided her the best chance at reflecting over the past few days. They seemed more like a blur than anything else, flashing by with only some moments standing out like stars in the sky. Even now they seemed to dull as such things always do even as the sun washed away the blanket of stars that had been visible above not moments before. Two bright points, one gold and one silver, cascaded throughout the entirety of it and it was that which troubled her the most. Coming from a past of never having connections to anyone and suddenly finding herself amidst the turmoil of having so many took her off guard entirely.

No doubt she is not the first to feel such inner turmoil and she doubted she would be the last, but all the same the situation in front of her seemed daunting. There was a choice coming she knew, and it loomed over her like a storm cloud brewing and darkening with each passing hour. Neirin, her golden sun who had so quickly claimed her heart and her silver-shaded moon Ragnarok who completed her in every way imaginable. Was the love she had for both of them so very different, if so how could they both exist within her at the same time? She had to go back to Asteraia soon and see Neirin, had to tell Ragnarok about him for no doubt he would come with her and he deserved no less than the truth. It was her responsibility to sort out this mess without unduly hurting either of them, for if she did she would never forgive herself.

She was so caught up in her own thoughts that it took her longer than it should have to pick up the scent and sound of approach, first her nose then ears alerting her that she should probably turn around. It took her just long enough to lament the loss of her serene morning that the stranger came up beside her and sat as well. Her slender head turned to take in her new companion, inhaling deeper while actually paying attention this time to get a better read on her. She scent mingled effortlessly with the mountains around them, even seeming familiar as she had no doubt scented during earlier exploration so ingrained was she in the land. She raised a metaphorical eyebrow in surprise, for no doubt at the alpha of Spirane stumbled upon her. She did have a habit of meeting the most intriguing wolves.

A smile flickered across her features at the gray she-wolfs words, simple in their brevity but with an undeniable undercurrent of questions not asked. She lowered her head only a notch in a gesture of respect, but no more this was not her alpha after all but decorum must be undergone regardless. Her aquamarine gaze flicked back out to the breathtaking view around them. “It’s astounding, I can see why one would make such a place their home.” She cast a pointed glance at the gray woman, a playful glint in her eye as she batted around and avoided commenting on the proverbial elephant in the room and conversation. Yes she knew the importance of whom she addressed and while she didn't wish to aggravate anyone she had never been one to allow authority and respect to be so freely given upon first meeting, no it must be earned. Blind trust had led to her having to flee from home and it would never happen again.

Once again she fully faced the woman, an openness to her face that is fox-like curves often belied. She shifted her weight to be a bit more comfortable and facing the woman. “ “My name is Church, may I know who I have the pleasure of spending such a beautiful morning with?”. No doubt she wanted to know why a stranger was in her lands, so calmly enjoying the view.
