He wasn't wrong... she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.  Though her body wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep, she knew the dangers in that, and therefore kept seated through force of will as he left.  It was only a short time before he returned, and the food he carried was one of the loveliest sights the desperate wolf had seen in a long time.

She wanted to tear in immediately, but knew to eat too much too quickly would put her shrunken stomach through hell.  This was embarrassing enough, she wasn't about to make herself sick on top of it.

"Thanks," she responded, making her way partially throufh one of the hares before his invitation sunk in.  She paused, tongue probing at rabbit between her teeth as she thought.

The idea was attractive.  She would need time to get to 100%, and while her initial goal had been to see what was up at the glacier, she still could.  She liked Shadow, regardless of how she may find his packmates to be, and it wasn't a bad plan.

"Alright.  Least I can do is stick around, at least a while."  How long that while was depended, and she wanted to be upfront about that.  Things changed, and while Shadow was a friend, Danica was forever loyal to herself first and foremost.
