Bitterroot Valley drifting, drifting, drifting

Ukko answered her question obligingly enough, but then proceeded to change the subject back to Sleeping Dragon. But while Lucani did like to speak of her new pack — she was proud to be a part of it, after all — she had plenty of opportunity in her new life to do so. Conversely, this was perhaps the only time she'd be able to learn about this swarthy wolf with the charred orange eyes. Learning about him would be a challenge...

And she accepted it.

Sleeping Dragon is in the early stages of being inhabited by a pack, she replied. Once we've marked the territory sufficiently, my Alphas will howl their claim. You may even hear it, she added. Lucani didn't know where Phoenix Maplewood was, but even if it were far away Ukko might hear the Queens howl, such would be the sound's distinctness.

From here, Lucani left Ukko room to ask more questions if he desired. She planned to turn the subject back to him, but she knew patience and she knew it well.
