Northstar Vale memory

gonna hop in, if u dont mind that is C:

Vespera was making her usual rounds, or trying to establish usual rounds, for the words of Yuudai stuck in her memory like an annoying tick. The samurai wolf advised her once more about herself, how he said that Reiko trusted her enough to give the rank of Duchess. The woman looked to the horizon with determination, she knew that she couldn't fail Reiko, this was her home now.

But as she was making her rounds, an unfamiliar scent fluttered to her nose which made the girl's ear's shoot up and she stopped in her tracks which made her almost trip over her paws. Vespera wasted no time to investigate what that new scent was, so with an adamant trot, she followed her nose to the point where she could see the stranger. Slowing her pace, her face looked more relaxed than usual, but her expression still lingered on an slightly irritated face. 

The stranger was wise not to cross the border, but perhaps he was with Kaistleoki? No, he didn't have the same scent as Hiero, "can I help you?" She managed to work on her anger issues to the point where her tone wasn't snappy or snarky, but she still addressed the wolf with a firm voice.
