Ever since a mysterious sickness had crawled upon her Queen, Cara had spent less time at the Ouroboros. She loved the place, and it held a special spot in her heart because after all she had been part of the discovery. She missed the white female that had so bravely led them into battle with the Isle wolves, an even if a piece of her heart had hopes she would return to her former self, her mind told her she wouldn't.

Nor would the Ouroboros. The once tight knit pack that had united against the traitor and her spouse was beginning to show fractures along it's members. Seeing Jinx act as a basket case had been a hard blow for Lecter, her mate. And the relationship between the members of the upper tier wasn't the best.

Allowing her feet to take her, she climbed through the rocky paths of the mountain, until she found herself at a lush and green place at the top. A place called Northstar Vale. Cara ignored the fact that there had once been a pack reigning over these lands. She sniffed around curiously, though her mind was really on her dear queen.

With quick and careless steps Cara inspected the haven that had fathered the Vale pack. Not a trace of them remained now. The yearling prodded at some bushes and stuck her face in some others. This place made her think of Silvertip, the past reign of the Ouroboros wolves.

Just as Cara had decided this place would require further exploration a voice that was not the one of her mind pulled her away from her thoughts. She turned to face the female, her eyes running across the strangers face and her nose sniffing curiously in her direction. When she greeted her, not a trace of hostility lingered in her voice, Cara was not usually very nice to strangers but the girl in front seemed harmless, plus honestly the pale yearling was far too tired to be nasty.

"So this place isn't desolated after all.. " she mused out loud, keeping her body posture neutral. "Are you a loner?" she asked, aside from thei archi-nemesis from the Isle and the pack on the plateu, the girl didn't know any other packs in the area.

The pale yearling couldn't help but admire the different hues of brown and grey that adorned the female's face. Despite being vain and stuck up, Cara knew beauty when she saw it and the girl standing in front of her was filled with it. She ran her eyes down the different features of the girl's face, something about her delicate facial details screamed bird at her. But not in the way Tyrande had insulted her the first time they met.

Her thoughts were interrupted when the girl opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was as soft and sweet. Yep she was definitely a bird. The yearling returned the smile, feeling like she could use a well deserved break of the somber frown that she had been wearing since Jinx got ill.

Cara's ears cupped in Vienna's direction when she mentioned a pack she had never heard of. "The Sunspire, where is that?", she asked sweetly, though her voice was not even one third as beautiful as Vienna's. This knowledge would serve for future scouting trips.

Cara continued to admire the female's physical beauty, although she also had to applaud to the great spirit she seemed to have. While speaking of her pack, Vienna spoke with security and conviction which made the pale Ouroboros girl nod her head with approaval. She spoke as if she were trying to sell Cara a spot in the Sunspire, that facility to speak to others and sell ideas was what Cara lacked when going on scouting trips. She'd be a bad recruiter for the Ouroboros.

Cara commited the pack name along with it's Alpha's name to memory. Ferdie Von Pelt's Sunspire was now archived in some place inside the girl's brain. Recieving information made her more comfortable than giving it. She didn't want to leak the secret that the pack's Alpha had taken a nasty blow to her health. Clearing her throat, Cara looked into the female's eyes, she was trying to convince the female with her relax demeanor and unpreocupied voice.

"From the Ouroboros, it's surrounded by a spine of peaks and mountains, it's heaven really. And it's tucked between Neverwinter and the Heartwood." she described, giving subtle hints that were really worthless for someone who may not be familiar with the territory.

If Vienna didn't know that'd be better, since the last thing the Ouroboros needed was to have mountain wolves sticking their noses around their precious Spine.

When Vienna mentioned how beautiful it sounded without even knowing the place Cara's smile widened. She was no poet but it seemed she had managed to paint a masterpiece with her sole words. Her head bobbed up and down to agree with. It was really beautiful, more than any land she had ever laid eyes on.

Even the magnificent tunnels and slopes of Silvertip looked dull next to the outstanding beauty of the Spine. Again the pale female nodded her head to the femme's observation, even if not all the Ouroboros wolves were settled over the mountains she thought the spine of peaks and mountains were the cherry on top of the cake.

Cara wanted to fish more information out of the girl but before she could shoot out her question the girl threw one of her own, that in reality caught her completely off guard. Out of the million topics she could've asked about she chose the one she was least expirienced in. Herbs, plants and nature had never been one of her interests, and though she had grown to learn the knowledge of such was vital she had never been moved by the topic.

"Erm, I suppose they are", she babbled while giving a brusque shrug of her shoulders. Cara did not like to admit her ignorance towards the topic.

Lecter would've liked to chat with her, he was all up on medicine and weird rituals that could've interested the female's mind. Like when Jinx had taken the pale yearling to sneak a peek at what would become their reign maybe this pretty female would've enjoyed having a mentor. Lecter wasn't an easy man to deal with, he had aged bones that ached and bitterness stored in his insides -- but overall he had earned Cara's respect; and that wasn't an easy task. As she left her home after her father's passing she had become very skittish and cautious almost always using sarcasm as a shield against the strangers.

But this strong wall of bricks that separated her from the outside had begun to cave in as the days rolled by. Now as an important member of the Ouroboros she valued the few close friends she had. And though the great mistrust towards strangers remained she would mind adding a few outsiders to her acquaintance list.

She listened intendly as the girl gushed about her love for nature that even if she couldn't really comprehend she still found important. Her eras cupped in her direction as she briefly mentioned outriding and asked about her own interests. "Outriding is my passion right now" she barked while giving her tail a light wag. "And hunting, though I'm better at silent ambushing" she continued, not niticing that as the words rolled off her tongue the light of the sunrays seeped into her pale yellow eyes.

This whole socializing thing was not as bad as she had thought. Ever since she had joined Silvertip she had been taught to hate the outsiders and chase away those who wandered to close; all of those who weren't among the ranks of Jinx's pack were nothing but enemies or threats. Her mind had learned to view them as filthy food-thieves and liers, she had forgotten that once she had been one of them too.

But this conversation with the pretty wolfess had opened her eyes and allowed her to see more colors in the picture, not every wolf was a dirty bastard like she had thought. There were wonderful wolves out there too, Vienna being one of them. At that moment a desire to give the girl the title of friend flooded into her body --just like she had decided to befriend Vectra, Vienna had also become a target for the pale girl.

As she began to speak of things she could more easily relate to, Cara gave the Sunspire femme a wide smile. She wagged her tail when the light grey girl touched the subject of Outriding. "Ouroboros is an amazing place on it's own" she barked, not being able to control the words that slid off her tongue next, "You should come some time" she blabbered.

Ugh.
With all the chaos at the Spine it was not suitable for the girl to visit inmidiately, but the offer had been made and besides deep inside Cara didn't mind showing her newly acquired friend the wonders of the Spine..."Just howl for me at the border first" she barked with a more serious tone; she'd understand her precaution right? The Spine wolves were fierce and territorial, if she didn't take heed of her words she could run into the wrong wolf..
