The thoughts plagued the golden wolf, as it was far to crowded to her liking. As dreamy was the maplewoods were; she knew that Uriel had to be realistic, and think of not only herself, but those she would soon take under her wings. Especially with those so large, as well as territoral, not even tolerating those near. She of course, still held a bit of reluctant over the fact of losing the first home that was chosen, as well as bitterness toward the white dragon; she needed to remember why she was here. To be reborn, to become anew. A phoenix rising.

Though not only to find a place to claim, Uriel mapped the area, perhaps that would've been more wise to do before settling. To know who, and what was around, to find her Sanctuary. So the wolf walked, finding an area that she thought alike to a familiar wolf, that it would be a beautiful area if not for winter.. Though the scouting of terrian was short, for Uriel spotted a oh-so familiar wolf. She froze, feeling bristled.

She of course, was one of those wolves- though oh so desired to not be. A moral and personality conflict she strived to seperate and release. It was surprising that he did not strike any hostile aroma, "Why do you not attack?" Uriel immedietly asked the other, wary to who he was. Maybe a second battle would rid her mind of contempt, but she couldn't be sure. He had attacked because of 'Legion' for being far too close, even out here could be considered close on who determined their borders.

So the question remains; why does he not attack the phoenix like the dragon he previously was?

A guard, a warrior, a dragon, he was a defender of his home, but no more. Uriel did not know where his pack was, except near Pheonix Maplewoods, but they were far enough he was not hostile. Uriel nodded in understanding, noticing the mood change, but she still felt guarded, feeling uncertain if his words were true. Though he did not look like a man who uses words of play, and one to the point instead. Reluctancy, to trust came to be. Calmer she was, that it was a step to a more comfortable setting. 

His words stroked her feelings, and Uriel couldn't help but smile slightly despite feeling wary, "You fought strongly as well."  Though the next words came to a surprise, "Legion has wolves of strength," she started, "But I seek my own ward of wolves," and rather quick to state her next phrase, "but elsewhere is now optional." The golden wolf had made it clear already by trying to claim the maplewoods, she sought for a place of her own. She wouldn't join another pack and give up this desire, for she wanted to be reborn within her own home.

If another had shared the ideals she wishes to place upon Sunward, maybe then Uriel would be willing to be beneath another, and call it a home. However none have met that criteria, and so her goal continued. A simple offer wouldn't do, since she wasn't a very tempted wolf overall.

"No," she said, "but I am looking.. Northeast, there is a large forest which im interested in, which i've begun a movement toward." She didn't outright say her interest was partially still onto the maplewoods, but Uriel did not lie upon looking around. She became too heated moments ago, a proposed a statement to another (@Dawn), she already stated that it will be her new claim. Even though none was behind her, she would make do to at least try her ways.. Recruitment, has been a slow process, as not many had come. There was a fleeting thought, as a silver eye glanced toward him, but had gone away remembering who he was, and what he had done to the golden alpha.

Uriel watched the dragon begin his journey away, and didn't stop him, nor' for even his name. She thought it would be perhaps their last meeting, neither ending on a sour note, or a positive. She still held onto some bitterness toward defeat- but perhaps it was more of her pride hit more than anything.

She too, begun to walk away.
