Lion Head Mesa meteor thorn

The girl was a bit more perplexing than Ame had expected. Trying not to freak out? And why here, of all places? Ame was about to be wary of nearby dangers that she was somehow not aware of and that this girl was. Thankfully, she did explain on and it made a bit more sense that she was not used to being away from home -- not anxious about something that could threaten them both. "I see," she replied with a knowing nod.

It would be going too far to tell the girl she ought to relax.. and not feel so stupid about it all. For a youth, and an inexperienced one at that, she probably was fairing well. Ame wasn't the one to judge that, though, and her paranoia would probably help keep her out of trouble. The dark alpha couldn't discredit her there, even if it felt misplaced aimed at her. Ame presented as neutral, and nothing more. "It is understandable, then. What has inspired you to travel out on your own?" she asked, unaware of the potentially touchy subject matter. "I am scouting, and here seemed like a good place to rest a bit before I move westward," she gestured vaguely towards the water. She didn't mention all too much just yet and even this much was generous for her standards. But in an effort to make things a little more conversational, it was the best she had right now.
