Moonsong Glacier Wayside

Aliki took it all in. Togetherness. Caring for every wolf in the pack. She seemed contemplative, but not over what Ariadne had said. It was her very own nature she considered. Aliki had shown here today that she could be civil and hold a decent conversation. Throughout her life and up to the time in Greatwater Lake, she allowed the instincts she had been born with to rule. 

If she were to join them in this village, could they accept such a side of her?

There was also water. A good sign. Any sustainable territory needed water source. The lake would probably be a favorite haunt of hers if she joined these wolves.

She drew in a breath, before calmly explaining. "Water has always been a central part of my life. My homeland was surrounded largely by it. My family and I are specialists, more so than the average wolf might be." Aliki was not bragging. She was simply stating the facts.

"We also lived heeding to more...instinctual, raw behavior, let's call it. Not aggression or hostility. Just a little more natural communication." But as Ariadne saw, Aliki could be flexible. Civil. "It is a part of me still very much intact. I say this so there may be no surprises." She fell silent again, eyes curious for her evaluation. Whether or not she deemed her a good fit, Aliki would take no offense. Her mind was not yet decided. She was only testing the waters.
