Sleepy Fox Hollow Wishful Thinking

Arlette hadn't noticed when Derg had jumped as well, she had been far too busy with herself and being embarrassed about it. She just hoped he wouldn't think ill of her. The girl trotted next to him to keep up, her steps light as she climbed the mountain. She was relieved when they were going down again. Her muscles were getting sore from that climb. Arlette looked at Derg when he answered. She slowly nodded. "So you are more loyal to the alpha you have now than the Alpha you took the fall for?," she asked curiously. That was really interesting and she wondered why.

"My pack? I--," she paused and looked ahead. "Easthollow is traditional, a family structure," she explained, though she wasn't sure if she was going to return now she left. She felt such a weight lift when she left. Just to be away from her mother. Valette had been trying to be kind to her but it just felt fake. "It is just... I don't know if I see myself living there forever," she added then. "Maybe I will just go to packs, learning more about the medical trade, while searching for Oryx," she spoke with a quick nod. Not wanting to talk too much about all the drama she had. They already talked about that. "Soooo... what would be the perfect day in the life of Derg?" She asked then.
