Sunbeam Lair tree of life (joining)

It was uncertain whether or not the stranger was truly alone, or if she had others waiting on her. She'd spoken of being sent away, but didn't seem to view herself as a lone wolf. It was a peculiar situation, a type the young chieftess had never before encountered. "You have stated that you were chosen to leave your pack," the girl began, careful with her own wording. "Yet it seems as if you do not consider yourself a lone wolf. May you please elaborate upon that?" If Eve was of another pack, then her reasoning for drawing so near to the tribe's borders was unclear. Had she come to act as an ambassador? To deliver a formal declaration of war? Asterr's mind could concoct and work through various scenarios simultaneously, though none of them mattered if the outsider's intentions remained unclear.

"What caused you to call out to my tribe?" the dragoness asked, unable to keep the question at bay for any longer. "Is it a place to rejuvenate your weakened self that you seek? For if so, I will be forced to ask that you leave immediately." It was true that she had taken to mending a broken outsider before, but they had been away from her tribe's land and the herbs used to do so were not from the lair. They'd been picked up along the way, plucked from unclaimed lands, leaving her unable to feel guilty for using them. The mere thought of letting an outsider suckle from Ryūjin was appalling, and by no means something she would ever take part in allowing.
