Smirk buried down before it had the chance to breathe, the soldier quickly set his mind to considering her enquiry, attempting to navigate the safest path acrosss.

"Yes, unless you feel the need to explore more and want to find other paths - it's safest to go across the ones you know and have already used.

"It's quiet... but everyone works hard. There is a creek in the territory, which gave the pack the name - Swiftcurrent Creek, and it provides us with plenty of fish. I can help teach you to fish if you need it, but there's other prey around too." He was slightly unsure of how much information to give (since she was still not an official member), so he left out specific details such as their numbers, or names of other residents. "The sounds of the creek are calming, I go there a lot to think," He hummed to himself quietly in consideration, wondering if he was boring her with his words.
