Sunbeam Lair tree of life (joining)

The stranger insisted she was not a loner, but Asterr could see her as nothing more than just that. The situation as a whole was one she found herself growing uncertain of, but even still, her expression and overall demeanor remained neutral. Even when the other had spoken of enforcing the chieftess' reign and bringing to her members a healer—statements she had taken offense in, mind you, for her tribe was well enough as it was—not a flicker of contempt could be detected in her features. It took little restraint, too, for it was the type of encounter she'd been taught to manage. Draco, however, had attempted to push back. In the recesses of the girl's mind, she could feel his presence, his emotions, and she knew she would have to be careful with her words so as not to get a rise out of the loner.

"What if I were to inform you of the fact that my tribe houses several medics already?" the yearling presented. "One of which is currently standing before you." Of course, Asterr knew there were few downsides to having several herbalists within the lair, but that did not prevent her from questioning Eve further. She found it especially necessary considering the other girl's mindset, for the dragoness would never allow someone uncommitted to the tribe to live amongst them. If an offer of one's loyalty, rather than just their services, could not be made, then she saw no real reason to grant them access.
