Whitebark Stream Open heart

Though she doesn't expect anything, she's disappointed when Wildfire shuts down Saena's brief hope for recruitment. With the still-fresh loss of two of the pack's finest in terms of helping out, the Alpha can certainly make use of able bodies and wolves confident in their skills, a fact she's sure to be true of Wildfire, but she knows all too well the call of the wild and the potential benefits of a solitary life. She's considered it on occasion herself, and sometimes regrets settling down and claiming land rather than roaming the wide world beyond the wilds.

"I get you," she says, though her teeth snag her lower lip momentarily in a gesture of disappointment. "If ever you do decide to settle somewhere in the area, you'd always be welcome here. I'm sure my kids would also benefit from knowing someone level-headed like you, and you'd be their uncontested favourite half-aunt," and she leaves that offer on the table for her half-sibling's consideration. While Saena doesn't count many among her family any longer, she's willing to take the opportunity to get to know Wildfire better should it arise. Until then, Saena is good at biding her time.
