Neverwinter Forest Because I don't trust you to understand me

Her expression turned thoughtful as she tried to remember exactly when she had left home. I met Mal last fall and he had already been here for a bit. I'm not sure how long. Our numbers really grew once winter hit, she explained. So she supposed it wasn't really the beginning but fairly early on. She stopped to inspect the scent of one of tall evergreens that hugged the edge of the territory. Deciding it could use more scent, she marked it and then moved on. After a few more seconds she looked over at Yao. Where are you from? she asked. She had never heard his accent before, not that she had really met a ton of wolves, but she was still curious about it. The only accent she could really recall right now was her mother's harsh northern accent, but it was very different than the one her new packmate had.
