She is strange. There is no denying such a fact. Yet, she knows how to feed one's hungers. She whines, a sound that sends a prickling sensation down my spine, an automatic response to her apparent submission; it has been too long since the sensation of power has flushed my skin warm. It makes my limbs stiffen, my tail arcing slightly as my lip twists up in an amused grin; it is a play, that much I know. A wolf with such bravado is surely not the kind to earnestly roll belly up and yet, I'll feed on power when I can. I wonder what she is looking for in return. Symbiosis.

"You think?" I simply respond to her observation, a brow creeping up slowly before an ear twists back towards the sound of where the battle call had been made. "Somebody's paws aren't too clean right now. I wonder who of them feels dirtier." Somebody had betrayed somebody, no? I have to wonder whose reputation would survive and just how tarnished the other would - or could - become.

Then, she moves like a serpent. I allow her to do so as she leaps up, a telltale sign of her innate prowess: she is more than just a trespasser, I feel. Still, I make no move for her. Instead, I merely pivot and meet her eyes with a tilt of my head. "When you are finished, return down this path," I state simply with a shrug of my shoulders and yet, I quickly inhale and run her scent across my tongue, sure to remember it. "They will not question my scent. Perhaps you were an escort to me this day, an emissary." There are particular wolves in this world, I believe, that are good assets. From this encounter, I believe she may be one of them. She possesses an unusual aura, a set of skills seldom valued as highly as they ought to be. Consider this kindness on my part - a passive effort to keep her alive long enough for me to find once more another time.

For now though, I continue down the paths of Spirane, exploring where and what I can until the time beckons me to leave. Perhaps I will not find anything of interest regarding the pack itself but ah, maybe I have found something much better.
