Lake Rodney Headed straight for your heart, like a bullet in the dark

Pearl was equally surprised to see her as she was about Aria reacting like that. Well dang, second time this week. A sharp pain went through her shoulder, though she tried not to show any expression of pain, though her face did display hurt. That is, until it was apparent her barking had not reached the ears of the other, and had not recognized her. Pearl instantly went to nose her up. "Hey, it's alright," she said, trying not to let her thoughts wander to why else she might've reacted like that. 

Aria started to repeat her name, which confused Pearl, and then it was revealed that Lasher had not told the pack about her leaving intentionally. Oh gosh, now she'd have to explain why she left, which could easily be misinterpreted. "Lasher didn't tell you guys? I went to go join my best friend's pack, southwest of here," she said, heart heavy, prepared for the worst snap back.
