Wide, yellow eyes blinked softly. This beautiful woman whom she had only just met was offering her a place to stay. She would get to meet her husband, and one other who lived with them.
She was visibly speechless for a moment. Then, throwing all caution aside, pressed in close to the warmth of her fur. "That's...that's so kind of you. Thank you!" Her voice was muffled. If Meerkat's maternal instincts were indeed being roused, then Nyssa could almost feel their pull.
She shifted now, to block the wind blowing in with her back. To shield them both as best as she could. Heaving a breath, she laid as one would who was truly at ease in the company of another person. "I don't mind, no. I think it will help...to get it all out."
"My family and I...we lived the good life. Our home was an expansive valley, which we inherited through generations. It had all a wolf could ever want, really. But then, all of that came to an end. These...strange two legged animals came. Drove us further and further, taking our land. Our prey scattered. Our home was changed...reshaped by the two legs. We tried to eek out a living...but we weren't welcome. My mom and dad got too close, one day, just trying to get food. They were killed. And my brothers and sisters...they fled, in fear for their lives. I did as well, and we have been separated ever since."
