Blackfoot Forest The Modification of a Wolf

I posted a message for you in the "Octoberfest" topic in the Members Only forum. :)

Hawkeye's reasons for joining Bon Dye seemed pretty typical. The way she hesitantly mentioned the word encounter begged for backstory. However, Pied did not press the matter, assuming that Hawkeye would have elaborated if she had wanted. Then her fellow Sigma bounced the question back at her and the piebald yearling considered it a moment before answering.

"I lived in my parents' pack until I was nearly a year old. Then something happened that caused it to break apart. My parents and I joined my grandparents' pack after that. I liked it there but I never really fit in. I think my mother sensed it. She encouraged me to go out into the world and find my calling. Eventually, I took her advice and... well, Bon Dye is the first pack I've come across that felt like it might fit me. I'm not entirely sure yet but I just have a good feeling about it." She glossed over the part where her father had left to take his own life and, of course, she didn't mention how her secret gift factored into her decision to disembark from Flightless Falcons or join Bon Dye.

"I'm a little bit hungry," Pied said after a beat of silence in which she wondered what their next topic of conversation should be. "How about you? Want to help me find some food or would you rather go back to relaxing?" The way she said it, Pied made it clear that she would not be offended no matter Hawkeye's choice.
