Her question stirred something in him, and Maera reacted inmidiately as well. Her ears, that had been facing him, flattened to the side apologetically for a second or two before returning to their original position. She did not intend to ask more on the subject, she in fact bit the tip of her tongue when he opened his mouth once more, hoping the question wouldn't be thrown back and hit her like a boomerang. 

"me too" she barked simply, accepting Terance's choice to bury the subjet for good. Then, the conversation returned to its previous ease - or so Maera hoped. "yeah, really!" she barked, maybe a bit too enthusiastically considering how tense things had been just seconds ago, "I know some stuff about plants and birds, oooh birds" she went on while her tail began to wag slightly. She had learnt during her travels, from her various companions, one which happened to be a botanist and from the Solstice that had also taught her about tides. Still, birds was what she liked most. Birds and flowers.
She knew about the birds because of the feathers she so passionately collected during her scavenging and used to decorate her den with. Maera was really excited about the turn their talk had taken, and she was actually was about to confess her peculiar collecting habit when he spoke again.

Maera's feet felt suddenly cold.
"i'm a loner" she confirmed while letting her hazel eyes meet his before lowering to the ground and then to the side nervously. Terence was a really nice wolf, Maera liked him, but she wasn't so sure she'd like the idea of joining a pack just yet. This was the very first one she heard of, and honestly, she was hesitant about trusting the first option without at least getting a peek of the others. She didn't know what to say to his, what, invitation? So she hoped she wouldn't annoy Terence and said nothing at all.
