As Minna quietly apologised, Lilith kept her gaze upon the alpha female, keeping up her polite and courteous smile. The incident with her mate had indeed soured her view of the pack that Minna had so eagerly wanted to introduce her to, but Lilith pushed the feeling away. Finding a place to rest and remain fed was one of her main priorities and, when the chance presented itself, she wasn't about to let it get away. She was an opportunist, after all.

Her friend introduced the female as Amara, and the coywolf dipped her head respectfully again. At her question, she glanced at the other female. "I met Minna just west of here. I have only recently dispersed from my birth pack and wouldn't fare well as a loner," she said with a polite laugh and a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "And, well, Minna told me of your pack — it sounded wonderful." Apart from the whole coyote discrimination thing.

"And she told me of the swarm. An unfortunate thing. I have skills in botany and could tend to the plants here that are not faring well," she added. A half-truth, half-lie, like most of her tales. "And members, of course."
