Stone Circle Acquainted

So the alpha's name was Valette. Dianne would make sure not to forget it. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Valette, She returned mostly for the sake of not being rude. Valette then asked if there was a specific reason for her joining. Dianne appreciated the wording of this question because it could be answered simply and implied that the alphess was fine with her not having some grandiose, long-winded reason for joining a pack when winter was approaching. So, she answered simply with: It seemed nice enough and I needed a place to stay.

Valette's attention was earned by something in the distance, so Dianne followed her gaze. The burly beasts stampeded away from some unknown cause, their combined heavy footsteps audible even from so far away. The alphess explained that they were the pack's bison herd. Ah, so that's what they were called. Conversationally, Dianne glanced back at Valette and asked, Do you hunt them? She'd thought the feat impossible with their impressive size and numbers, but maybe these wolves would prove her wrong.
