Snowforest Taiga Shigoto

Aquene had no reason to suspect anything other than a friendly conversation. She had given him food, a man clearly hungry and starving just as most loners were this winter. Even now, that pang of regret hit her belly like the hard lump of hunger that would sit in it for some time before her next meal, but she pushed such thoughts aside. First, do no harm. It was a staple Tennant of hers, and it extended to all things, including not helping a starving man. She smiled softly at the words and shook her head.
 
“Nothing he wanted for me was bad… just something happened, and I felt suffocated by the responsibility I had once craved.” She explained, without detailing what the tragedy was. There was no reason to bring down the conversation like that. “I would have done it… but I felt a different calling after that, and I needed to get out on my own.” Being in the pack lands reminded her of loss where she had once felt joy, and that weight had brought her down. Everyone had seen it, and so no one was surprised when she set out on her own… at least, that was what she told herself. Surely they had all seen her taking off under the cover of darkness coming, right?
