Cloudy Minds Will Rain

Scarlett may not have been the greatest at fighting, but, surprisingly, neither was Sen. She could be, but often she got bored and would just walk away as if nothing happened. There were very few occasions that were actually interesting enough for her to stick around for, as well as play out until the end. One of said occasions was when her sister, Zita, had tried to get her and Khoi into trouble for leaving the den while their mother slept. The two had, of course, managed to weasel their way out of trouble, but their older sister was not so lucky. No, that event had started a war that didn't end until they had the russet girl on her back, submitting and begging for mercy. "I'm sure if you practiced you could get better at fighting. It isn't all that hard, just avoid letting your opponent land any blows on you." It wasn't quite a compliment, but could be taken as one. Such a rare thing coming from the living shadow, and something that would probably never happen at any other time.

To Sen, it was a very unnerving thing when the albino thanked her. It seemed almost unnatural for such words to be directed towards the dark being, but times were changing and so was she. Sort of,anyways. There was no way for her to change entirely, but she could at least pretend. That meant she would also need to get use to words like 'thanks', no matter how odd they might seem to her. "Uh, yeah, you're welcome, I guess..." If the woman were a human, she'd surely be rubbing the back of her neck nervously. The words felt wrong in her mouth, but she tried to ignore that.

Luckily, Soot didn't need to dwell on the thought for too long, for a question left the other's maw. She inquired her as to what her reason for joining the Glacier was. Her reasoning was not extravagant or anything, but was instead very simple. "No, I wasn't born here," she confirmed slowly, recalling a distant memory of her actual birthplace. "I was born on a mountain range, and when I left to explore, I had never planned on joining a pack. Never knew what a pack was like, so it always seemed like it was a fancy way for others to take away your freedom." She had, of course, been born to two lone wolves. Packs were seen as the enemy to them, and a very dangerous one at that. "When I came across the Glacier, I never planned on staying. All I wanted was an interesting place to live, and what better to do that on than a giant block of ice? After thinking it over, I caved and requested to join the ranks of the pack. A glacier is just a mountain of ice, so it gave me the feeling of home, but also kept it's own, interesting trait with it." It wasn't some grand story of action and adventure, but was the truth. "What about you? Why'd you choose to join?"
