Her lips parted slightly and she nodded when he confessed he was waiting for someone. Part of her wondered if he was waiting for a girlfriend- she wasn't sure why the thought struck her, it just did. She thought about teasing him about it- but then again, she didn't know him well enough to be that cheeky. For all she lacked in experience, she did have some good common sense. "Cool cool," she replied, content to wait to see if his friend actually did show up; maybe his friend was as battle scarred as he was- she wouldn't be surprised. 

"I'm Niamh." She said. "I belong nowhere and to no one," She added, foolishly forgetting that this could be used against her; he, at least, had a friend in the area. Wolves took solace in having a pack to rally behind them should they get in a sticky situation- but Niamh hadn't experienced anything to make her any wiser about giving out personal information. "You?" she asked, wondering if perhaps he and his friend were travelling together, as she and her brother had, or if there was more to it than that.
