Moonspear confident

His explanation was simple but sufficient. If the words he spoke were true, then he would know that none of her ferocity came without reason and just cause. He, from the start, took her for who she was, even when knowing what she was capable of. But why should he fear? Did he defend killers of children or useless wolves who could not contribute their fair share? Only then should he think twice about striking an accordance with her. Truth be told, Hydra knew better than to trust that he was not such a way, now—though it was not his fault. Her experience prompted her to hope for the best, but expect the worst. The worst had a way of making an appearance, and it was best to prepare for its arrival and fend against it than to endure a blind assault by its teeth. 

It does not mean she is unable to enjoy his company, though. As he stretches, Hydra takes note of the muscles that can be seen before her gaze falls to where his had landed moments ago. Mountains are the richest lands of all, she said, with ample pride to have been born upon one. She exuded such riches, as did her mirror images. They did not know true hunger, and had in their domain forests, falls, rivers, streams, hot springs, and Moonspear's views had yet to be rivaled by any other place she had explored. They did not have the beach, though—but it was within their reach, and in the winter, such a place had no appeal to her. Her gaze fell back to him; though he was not born upon one, he was suited for his present backdrop. 

His inquiry was met with a nod. He is, she reveals, the pride remaining in her voice. Her father was a good leader, and a strong warrior himself. She respected him immensely, and she loved him as a daughter would. She did so love talking about herself, but she was curious to know more of him, too. You are a warrior? Hydra thought to ask. Hydra enjoyed learning from other warriors their tactics, their style; she was ever seeking to add to her own skillset, and she wondered if he might be able to teach her things she had yet to experience.
