An icy shock rippled through the length of her body at the sound of Desna's howl. She had wanted answers, but not from the source, and while as a loner Nanook had held confidence in approaching wolves she knew nothing about, she felt herself lapsing with the safety of her sister at her side. Her gaze flitted around again, as if expecting shadows to emerge from the hazy summer air.

Yet the land remained empty, and as the seconds passed, her spike of anxiety subsided to a churning and low-key worry. Still, her senses weren't entirely tuned to Desna, and while she caught the words her sister said, her nod of acknowledgment held a certain distraction. Idly she noted the intrigue of the stone circle, but her attention was lost on the agouti smudge that approached through her peripheral, and she turned the moment of her chuff - and froze.

She recognized that face, and her eyes widened in a pulse of alarm when the other uttered her name - or, what had been her name, during her brief stint with the wolves of Silvertip. For a second she mouthed a silent stutter, before her voice managed the words, "I - I - yes." And then, "No." She felt small and uncertain again, and Nanook didn't feel herself press closer to Desna as she corrected, "Nanook."
