Cara's howl effectively stilled her paws and delicately, she swiveled her cinnamon ears the alpha's way. The note was a message of summons, and although she listened for further implications and details, there were none. Naturally, she wondered what the young queen wanted with her.. and her brother too. At least they were in this together.

She believed she had been doing well here so far, and the same could probably be said for Lotan. For not having a plan in beginning of this whole excursion away from home, this was definitely better than many potential outcomes. Wyvern did still miss her birthplace occasionally because it had been all she had known until now, but she had enough else to keep her thoughts busy with anyway.

She arrived at the end of Lotan's greeting gliding onto the scene with her head low and tail switching softly against the inside of her legs. Hello, she said softly while she settled in next to her brother. She tilted her head subtly in curiosity with the rest of her posturing politely submissive, although inwardly she was quite eager to hear more.

She did not know if they had exchanged any actual conversation before she had arrived, and if they had, what it covered. Wyvern stood by the belief that she had got just in time, and Cara soon basically affirmed this for her.

Keeping the feeling hidden, she basked in the glow of the alpha's small praise. It was only a quick comment on their promptness, hardly anything to be excited about, but even if she tried not to be, it was hard to just ignore it. She had never had to appeal to a brand new leader before and build her reputation up from nothing at all. It was worlds different than just behaving for parents and being kept in line by them, but she hoped they would stand a good chance here in front of Cara's scrutinizing gaze.

She mirrored the wave of her brother's tail, and nodded while he spoke. Yep, just been trying to learn all we can. It is.. interesting, she said lightly. Kaname's tour had given them a place to start and she had been working on her own individual studies by putting her paws to work in covering the landscapes. It's a pretty different sort of terrain from our home, but.. cozy in its way. I like that. Again, she nodded, and while she was eager to explore more of the surrounding lands, she wasn't going to until she had a good mastery of what was now home.

Indeed, she knew they often cruised on similar wavelengths, so she was nodding along to his words in no time. His answer covered everything it needed to, so it was up to her to provide any relevant details. Basically the opposite of a mountain, she added with a little smirk, as hollow did tend to imply. Their homeland had been cozy: a lowland dotted in forest with a crisp view of the stars. By the time they had come along, their parents' claim had been unquestionable.. and quite comfortable. Without a doubt, a picturesque place for nurturing capable little Ostregas like themselves.

Wyvern wasn't sure how much Cara would want to know about the place, so kept it brief. Although.. it wasn't going to take much prompting to get her to share a bit more. It just did not seem right, here in a conversation steering towards the Spine's beauty.

The yearling alpha then went on to bait Wyvern's interest in seeing out the springtime here. Without a plan, she was not quick to attach too thoroughly. But so far, the Spine was appealing to her in just the right ways for where she stood in life.

I've met Alusia, she replied after glancing to her brother, wondering if Sitri was the male she smelled around occasionally with a more prominent scent than some others (not counting Kaname, of course). Wyvern had assumed that a good chunk of the Spine's membership had joined right around the time they had, give or take a handful of days.. so it was taking her time to familiarize herself with even their scents scattered around here and there. This also allowed her more confidence to establish her own presence among them.. without the looming intimidation of too many perfectly established wolves above her, it just came easier.

In so far, she was getting the impression that their responses were suiting the yearling queen. Wyvern did, admittedly, want the leaders to like them. The thought occurred to her -- had Alusia encountered a similar conversation, perhaps with a mention of their meeting? Or would her chance come sooner or later? And what had, or would, Cara have to say about her? And Lotan?

Anyway, she would probably make a point to meet Sitri sometime, if their paths didn't just happen to cross before then. There were other scents around that she was curious of it. About then, Cara mentioned trades. Wyvern was quick to attention, but let Lotan answer first.

Same, I think I'd like outriding a lot.. I like to scout, explore.. those types of things, she said after him. She also liked the messenger aspect of it, although learning to recruit suitable wolves for the Spine was something she would need to test-drive first. I'm not for sure on the others just yet. Gamekeeper, maybe..? Our parents taught us at least the basics for a good handful of trades, she mentioned. It was good her interests were relatively varied.. but she just didn't know which ones she would like to commit to in full yet.
