She could see he was dubious but figured it would be hard for a pack wolf to understand why any wolf would choose to live alone.  She did not know if she would stay as such forever but for now the life suited her.  She was careful to never take chances and had managed to avoid misfortune so far; this was a miracle in itself considering parts of her track record.

He didn't seem to know quite how to respond to her joking and that made him even more endearing.  Did he at all realize how he appeared from the outside?  Infuriatingly huggable, like a puppy you wanted to snuggle and shake some confidence into all at the same time.  "Maybe I'll see you around."  She cocked her head to him with a soft smirk and her tail flipped humoredly behind.  As with Red, she would leave it up to fate whether or not they actually ran into one another again. No promises or agreements to visit but not a steady decline either.  Lukewarm responses were a specialty of hers.

As he departed, so too did she, glancing back with only a slight shake of her head before trotting out of sight.  He was an odd one but she'd enjoyed their visit.
