The darker she-wolf answered her first, though it was the agouti sister that embellished. Her words meshed well with what she'd learned during her brief encounter with Aktaiê. It all sounded quite foreign and perhaps even a little ridiculous to the strictly secular youth, yet she was in a vulnerable head space and already found herself getting ensnared by their gypsy-like spell.
"I'm from Blacktail Deer Plateau," she answered the gentle query as the threesome arrived at the water's edge. She exchanged a wordless glance with the two females, then waded into the lake and began to splash cool water onto her face. It helped soothe her.
Once finished, she hopped out of the water, face dripping, and said, "I might not even be welcome there anymore." She thought of Fox, who had surely already informed Peregrine of the pup's explosive outburst. "Do you mind if I stay here, with you, for the night?" she asked. Perhaps the situation was salvageable but Junior didn't want to go back tonight in any event.
As her two-toned eyes flicked between the sisters' faces, she realized suddenly that she didn't know either of their names. "What're your names?" she asked politely, wondering if they sported monikers as exotic as Aktaiê's.
