She tilted her head in a clear indication of her curiosity -- to live as a loner for most of one's life was not overly common, to her experience, and it only served to further her thinking that it seemed to suit him well. "Ah, interesting. I do not meet many who stay unaffiliated for so long," she said. Certainly, Amekaze could see the appeal in it sometimes, but in the long run, it was not a lifestyle for her. She preferred a small, tightly-knit pack that was there for her without her feeling weighed down by commitments and otherwise.

"I do. My pack is one that.. allows me camaraderie and a share of freedom, so I do not feel stifled.." she explained. It struck a balance that fit her. "Before this, I did stay a loner for a long time because I would not settle for just any place," she went on to mention with a rolling of her shoulders. It had taken the pull of a friendship at a bad time for scavenging to get her into a pack in the first place, and even that one had not lasted long at the start. She was glad for it, though, because it had led her to the Sunspire.

From there, the conversation eventually tapered and she felt the itch to rove onward. Not wanting to linger any longer, she departed and took off at a slow trot towards the west.
