Sidriel felt a pang of guilt when she saw the sadness settling across Zelda's face. She hadn't meant to be the bearer of such bad news, but, well... she wasn't going to lie. All the same, Zelda had been kind to her, and she wished that she could have brought some better news. She nodded slightly when the Goddess mentioned Herschel and his brothers perhaps finding something else, somewhere he could have gone, perhaps the trail continued elsewhere and she simply couldn't pick it up. "They are capable wolves. If I missed something, I am sure they will pick it up." Her tone made an effort to be reassuring, but as per its usual inflection, the woman simply sounded gruff. The scars on her face and the tear of her lip only contributed to this rather intimidating air that she had constructed around her.

After all, how better to protect herself than to become untouchable? She was strong, clever, more than capable. Zelda's open-ended statement earned her a tilt of Sidriel's head, one eye of clear violet and the other of a more murky nature stared back at her. She was unsure of the proper reply. What did she want? An end to her bondage, but surely there was nothing that the alphess could do about that. Everything she needed, she could provide for herself or seek out Herschel for help. Sidriel was happy to help around the pack where she could, like she had done for Mikken, but in truth she simply lacked direction. Despite her rather rough childhood and adolescence, the spirit of her father and of the angel bloodline drove her to want to do something more. She wanted to be able to become strong on her own, to stand on her own paws.

Sidriel cleared her throat slightly, realizing she had let the silence stretch on. "It's not a... tangible favor. But I think you would be the best to help me." She sounded a bit awkward, shuffling uncomfortably on her paws, but her face was genuine as much as it could be. "I appreciate the home that you have given me. I hope I can be more to the pack than just a member. If you hadn't guessed by my name, I am of the Angel bloodline. I am... not connected with them so much, but the desire to do more, be more still weighs upon me." She nodded slowly as she explained, though it was not much of one- it still left many answers unsaid, but Sidriel had never been one to share very much of her life. Even Herschel did not know much about her, outside of her dealings with the silver devil.

"I suppose I simply lack direction. I am not sure where to go, what to do. I am strong and clever, but I am not a warrior nor a spy. I think I am... simply asking for advice, for direction. For you to place me where you see fit." She finished then, rolling her shoulders slightly as she tried to gauge Zelda's reaction. Sidriel felt... comfortable with the other female, it was as if she radiated light. There was safety in that, when her whole world up until now had been shrouded in darkness.
