Duskfire Glacier I just love a good mystery, don't you?

Glancing from the child to Lane, Askari gave a simple, gentle shake of her head.

Nothing to forgive. The child speaks his mind. It will surely help him become as great, if not a better leader than his mother, one day.

It was a peculiar thought, really. Having a family. To be able to have someone present to teach and guide. Sure, she had parents, but not all were the same.

Pulled from her thought, the idea to join their people was brought up. Another to consider.

I've never truly imagined myself walking at the heel of a pack. Though, I suppose a temporary stay wouldn't hurt. If at a later time I grow comfortable, with your blessing, I may choose to stay. Do understand, that I make no promises now... but, in the meantime, I will treat your pack as my own and assist wherever I can. That's what a family does, right?

This was a big step, but one Askari found herself, as strange as it was, willful to commit to. Hopefully the best would come of it.
