Totoka River Scouting

<3!

She noted the oddness to his gait distractedly, but didn't bother to put any meaning on it. She was used to her mother's stilted walk and assumed it to be a more extreme version of that. The part of her that still considered him a potential threat made sure to take note of it as a weakness to exploit if things came to a fight, but the way he spoke and the tone of his voice were pretty big indicators she wouldn't need to use it.

My mate leads us. Lucky her. I suppose not. But it's nice to hear that you support her. Not all mateships are like that. It was definitely a pointed remark, but she was more sad than anything when she said it. Bronco had supported her well in the beginning, and even at times later on. Yet all she could remember nowadays were the accusations he'd levied against her and they echoed again as she heard this man speak so fondly of his own relationship. They really had been doomed from the start.

I was going to lead a place, but it didn't work out. I don't think joining up anywhere is the right move for me right now. She might as well just be flat out honest.
