For a moment, Gaia simply laid there, trying to be as non-threatening as possible. It was clear the other woman had heard her and was judging the situation. The younger wolfess couldn’t blame her, she knew what it was like to be afraid of the outside world. It had been several years since she was attacked and her journey outside of Moladion had allowed her to get over the trauma and build enough self-confidence to stand on her own four paws. She wasn’t the abandoned child she had been all those years ago. It was that reason alone the girl was able to be here now, talking to a stranger who could just as easily be an enemy.

But, it did not seem that was the case. Finally, the woman stepped towards Gaia, which caused her to stand up. She seemed to be much older and had a ragged look to her. It was clear had been in some kind of stressful situation at some point and though the copper girl was curious, she didn’t ask. That was not for her to know until the other decided to let her in. She introduced herself as Alana, a wolf who used to call Glorall home. The name was not familiar to Gaia so she gave a pleasant smile and answered Alana’s question.

"I saw you come in here and, to be honest, you looked like you were running from someone. So I thought I would come here and offer any assistance you may want." The girl worded her answer carefully, noting “someone” rather than “something”. She also put a bit of emphasis on “want”. If Alana needed help, she wouldn’t have been so secretive and guarded. No, this wolf was hiding many things but Gaia didn’t pry. She simply offered her services and should they be denied, she would bid the woman good-bye.

"I’m not much of a fighter, but my father and mother always told me ‘you should always help those who may not be able to help themselves’. So, if you’ve found yourself in a bit of trouble, I will do what I can to help you." Her tail waved calmly behind her and he bi-colored eyes hid no lies. The russet wolf continued to smile as the other girl seemed to calm herself slightly and sit down. Following her example, Gaia also sat on her haunches as she waited to see what her new companion would say about her offer.
