Phoenix Maplewood oh, if the sky comes falling down

ah, there it was. the reason for her sudden approach, her friendlyness. she was forward with her suggestion, her offer for a home was quick and ready. which led her to believe that their Republic was short in terms of members, for why would it's leader be out here, in the cold, approaching her at seemingly random. Ahnah had very little interest in being a subordinate, and even less so in a pack that had it's leader's inviting memebers based only on a conversation that had yet to provide anything of interest to one another.

and yet, she decided to humour the woman, for here was a chance of information, and she would not turn that chance away for naught. "Republic?" she echoed, question glinting in her gaze, watching the other neutrally, though seeing that the chance that this woman may pose a threat was slim, her stance had eased, though not yet would she sit.
