Sleeping Dragon Amethyst

Upon her appearance, the wolf drops to the ground and Thuringwethil dips her nose once to acknowledge the submission but nor does she invite the stranger out of it. She speaks her name, her purpose, and what she considers to be of value. Unfortunately, she's learned that the value of some wolves mean little and those she lets in with purpose has failed her. Her second had disappeared, Lucani's value had dropped when she forfeited her spot, and Warbone and Magpie had been a joke for the future of Drageda. The thought alone leaves a bitter taste in her mouth as she steps forward with a low growl, uncaring if she scares the loner away—no one she would need anyway.

"Your skills could be beneficial to my pack but I have wolves that can do the same," she says. She'd taken in Gluskap by his skill set alone and he'd proven her right, if only because they needed it. Perhaps she might have gone easier on Portia if she didn't have him, in the wake of Gyda's birth (which had been minimal in complications, thankfully), but she also knew not to throw away a second set of paws if she could afford it. "Why do you really want to be here? And not somewhere else? What of where you came from?" she asks then with a slight tilt of her head. The wolves of Seageda would follow no others but she, even if they remained in their sister home, but these wolves simply don't understand the importance of following heda and what it could mean for all of them.
