"I can dispatch threats, if needed- but thank you. I have spent too much time alone - being on guard, always, served me well" she offered as an explanation for her swiftness in meeting him head-on, and an assurance that she was hardly a damsel in distress. Her gaze followed his paw as her scattered scales across the water, as expected, the simple creatures moved quickly to gather up what they saw as another meal in their endless life of eating and swimming. She moved, again like a viper, and clasped another sinewy body, quick to end it methodically and efficiently, depositing it next to the first. 

She paused a moment before speaking, thinking of his question. "It is...different. It has been many months till I last served under another. It has been travelling, and surviving, and ranging wherever I may please. But one can hardly go on like that forever." she answered, truthfully. she had not sought another home since the fall of her last, determined to be her own leader and dictate her own fate. but things changed, she supposed.
