Silvertip Mountain Indecision

A voice greets the lone female, catching her by surprise  and causing her to flinch and spin around. Her gaze lands on a peppered grey wolf with dark tipped ears siting with an air of command surrounding him. Ryuu cowers down stuttering, "I-I'm s-sorry. I di-didn't mean t-to intrude...." Her voice fades as she takes a step back, her icy eyes focused on the males white paws. Maybe this is a sign that she should attempt to join this pack? With the way this stranger holds himself, he could be the alpha. But no other words jump to her lips. She silently curses her still tongue and the fear that holds it. Hope and desperation mix with the fear that lingers in her gaze, but it is also tainted with doubt. The last pack had accepted her, but will another? Will she be forced to live out her days as a loner? Her eyes close as she stifles another cry. If that is to be her fate then so be it, but she does not expect to live long if that is the case. Ryuu would prepare herself for death, or choose to speed up the inevitable end by placing herself in a life threatening situation. 


I'm such a coward. Feelings of disgust towards herself rise up inside her heart and she manages to whisper, almost to herself, "Would you accept me.... even though I am a coward?" She looks up at the stranger before her, avoiding eye contact. Had he heard? Did she want him to hear? Her actions will speak lengths about the way she is. Could this stranger accept that? If she was her old self and came across such a cowardly wolf, then she would have rejected them immediately. Such cowardliness is disgraceful.
