She wanted to trust the male but her wits were still about her and she thought about how paranoid her father had been lately. She asked if he had a message for her and he seemed to relax a little, maybe because she was trusting that he did know Ghost? Or was it because she was falling into his trap? Lucia stayed tense but forced herself to breathe. She wanted to believe he had good intentions. When he looked around, she found herself doing the same, wide eyes taking in their empty surroundings as if any moment a boogey man would jump out to attack them. When nothing of the sort happened, she looked back at him and pricked her ears to listen as he spoke. He said that Ghost wanted her to come to Taviora and see what she thought. Her ears flicked back and forth, uncertainty obvious in her gaze before she looked at her paws then back at him. "Um, okay, I guess. I've never seen the pack lands."

She felt so sheltered in these moments. Sure, she could have gone to the pack lands herself and seen them, or even joined a pack, but something always held her back. Was it her own mother's feelings toward packs and how they only held bad memories for her? Lucia could tell her father didn't feel the same but he indulged Malleah out of love for her. Maybe Lucia was afraid if she joined a pack then the same thing could happen to her that had traumatized her mother so much. Lucia didn't know where Ghost went when they were done with their lessons. Did she have a pack? She didn't smell like one but Ghost could probably rub off the scent. It went right along with her name, after all. She was a ghost. Lucia had to trust that if the male knew her, he wouldn't wish to harm her, right? Ghost would surely rip him a new one if something happened to her. The male went on to say Ghost trusted her judgement more and he'd showed her the pack to begin with.

She felt herself relaxing a little, offering the male a small smile. "I don't know how much I'd know about it but I'd like to see it." She nudged her head for the male to lead the way, trying to keep her courage about her.
