For now Lailah was darfed by the male before her. Stuck in the middle of a growth spurt that had left her legs awkwardly long and her puppy fat disappearing but only just starting to be replaced with her adult muscle. Her face and features were young and childish, but one day she would be outstandingly beautiful, rivaling the angels above that she had been named after. She would inherit her mothers curves and her father's grace. Her eyes would shine brighter than the stars above and her smile would take the breaths away of all who gazed upon her. But by far her most beautiful feature would be her mind, so smart and endlessly kind and patient. But that was the future, for now she was simply an adorable, shy little puppy.

Lailah has moved in closer, pushing her comfort zone ever so slightly as she does. Heterochromatic eyes watch as he tries to look up to where she had pointed, to her den that was farther up the mountain a bit, where the views were never bad. "It is a lonely time, I think. Always watching. I got tired of being lonely watching-- and now I am Alpha..." her ears flicker at his words, she frowns slightly, knowing what it was like to feel lonely; she felt lonely all the time now a days with her family gone. Being lonely was a terrible feeling, it felt like you were empty inside. She didn't like it, and it made her sad to think that he had felt this way, even if she didn't really know him and was still a little scared of him.

The white angel continues to watch as he places his head between his paws, mimicking him slightly by doing the exact same as he. "I did not scent your parents at the gathering-- You must hate me. I am sorry that they chose to leave..." her eyes fill with sorrow immediately. Did he really think she hated him? No, she didn't hate anyone, she was simply intimidated by people. Her head shook immediately. "Its okay, I don't hate you," she whispered to him. He couldn't blame himself for their leaving, there were a lot of reasons that he could do nothing about. "I did see your sister, though, at the gypsy gathering - Or she looked close enough to you to be a sister." he says quietly and hopefully, perking Lailah's attention. Black rimmed ears pricked up and she raised her head from her paws with an surprised look in her eyes. "Liah....." she whispered. She had seen her sister leave with her parents but maybe she turned back and decided to stay. She would have to go find her, and soon.

She edged a little closer still to Roman, until her paws were touching his as she lowered her head back down onto her paws and looked at him, her eyes so puppy and innocent. "You must understand, they are welcome to return here - your whole family - if you wish to invite them back. I will not hurt them, I did not take the mountains in order to chase anyone away." he says and she offers him a small, sad smile, tail wagging slowly behind her for just a moment. "Thank you but its not so simple. My family has been through so much. My mother doesn't trust easily, she had just finally begun to trust Daenerys and her mate, my mother's brother, Jericho. My father was good friends with Daenerys, they had met long before my mommy and daddy moved to the mountains. They used to live in another pack before I was born, with my half siblings. My mother loved those alphas, she told me stories of how great and kind they were, how the queen was almost like a mother to her. And then an evil wolf named Jaidah came and stole the pack lands for cannibals, killing the queen and also the king through the shared bond in the process. My mother had also lost her first mate, burying him there, and my father was the only one there for her since they were imprints and she was really upset, so he took her and her family to safety, under and alpha he knew he could trust. They're just scared is all, and family means home more than an actual place so I think they're going to find my half brother and live there with him," she speaks, and it is the most she has said probably ever.

She does not know why she tells him all this, but she feels like she can, like she must for him to not blame himself. Her family had been through a lot and so it was only natural that they left when things once more seemed to flip on them, to find comfort in stability and family."I stayed though, this is where I was born, this is my home along with them, if that makes any sense. I plan to visit them, but I had to stay to be brave and to do something on my own," she whispers to him, trying to reassure him he was not at fault for her being alone, it was her choice. A tough choice, but her choice none the less. “I was lonely and scared for my family… and I think you know that this world is unsafe without being on top of the mountain, so to speak, right? I could not be positive they would be safe if I did not make them safe myself. Isn’t it my duty to be absolutely certain they would not be turned away?” she listens as he speak and a gentle paw comes up and rests atop his as she blinks and offers him a small reassuring smile. She was the best at being kind and caring, it just took a little for her to open up past her shy exterior. "It is okay to be scared for your family, you did what anyone would do for their family to make sure they were safe. Now they are safe and you are helping to keep the wolves of the mountain like me and their families safe too. It's very brave."

Maybe Lailah was just a pup, but she was wise beyond her years and knew just what to say to make things better. A lovely little shadow angel that could melt anyone's heart.
