Bazi felt heat rise into her cheeks, and dropped her gaze to the ground. "No," she admitted quietly - once again, the difference between home and this loosely defined pack of acquaintances had eluded her, and this time there had been repercussions.

She allowed the silence to extend as a way of demonstrating that no more would be said on the matter, and changed the subject back the Vale. "Do you want me to stay away from them altogether..? The Vale wolves, I mean." She didn't like the idea of not being able to nurture friendships for reasons that had nothing to do with her personally, but it wasn't in her to actively defy an order - and besides, she had yet to meet anyone from that area, so the Creek's official stance did not directly affect her yet. Perhaps the policy would be relaxed when Fox had settled into her position, and the ranks had been strengthened - something they had spring, summer, and autumn yet to go before neighbors might start to represent a threat.
