Neverwinter Forest innaktuk (2)

He offered his name and explained he was from the north. She didn't know the father he mentioned, and she thought it was odd that he had mentioned it to begin with, but maybe that was his custom or something. 

She was unsure if she wanted to completely answer his question; he was a stranger and could be another spy, sent here to find out information to report back to Kynareth and his Saints. She didn't really know who to trust anymore, outside of her pack members anyway. 

She dipped her head in a stiff nod. I'm Simmik, Beta of this pack, she started. We have a good number of wolves here, she offered, answering but not really answering; she decided that she didn't want to give him an exact number seeing as she knew nothing about him other than his name and that he was from the north—which reminded her: My mother is from the north and taught me her language. She paused and watched him curiously. Maybe you speak it too? She had never met anyone outside her family who knew the language of her mother's home, but maybe he did. What kind of things can I learn from you? she continued, honestly interested to see if he had any information that would be useful to her.
