Northstar Vale Attempt no landing there

it's not like she has ever had much in the way of interaction with wolves, and she can only assume the same is true for them with bears, so despite her knee-jerk instinct to ask what kind of question that is all she ends up with is a twitch of her lip. even though the concept of territory seems like it should be universal, among predators anyways. "could be," she allows. it's not unheard of. would probably even make things easier for her if it were correct. "even if it is, its mother is still around."

of course, that's not something she knows as fact, but even if it wasn't more than likely true borya has ulterior motives.

"mmm. well then, i'll confirm for you," she says. "it's not ghosts here." that's a truth. she's done her best not to run into anyone else, purely because it's often more trouble than it's worth, but she's scented just about everything she can think. other bears, cougars, coyotes, lynx -- not to mention the many wolves. whether that will actually prove a deterrent or not is up in the air, but then she doesn't really know what the concern is. as far as she knows, there's no pack in the valley. and there's enough here -- in the summer months, anyways -- that there are much better potential meals than a wolf.
