She kept up the guard even in light of his question, but none of this came as a surprise. Beneath the pointed look she gave him, he did want to smirk at her, but he refrains this time since he wonders if it may be a sore spot for her to detail her past like this.

"I grew up in a forest pack as an orphan, left there, wandered, then was embraced by a new family where I helped lead at the Rise. When it and all I loved burned, I wandered again until here." he explains frankly and simply even if she hadn't asked. It seemed reasonable payment for her own answers, although he does not know if it matters any to her whether her tells her this or not.
