Returning home [Rejoining]

Nurra watched the proceedings of the two males talking quietly. To her relief, this Valhallan didn't intend to cause difficulty for Rum, and just let him have his return home with ease. But now attention was turned to her, and she could no longer be the silent guardian of Rum. The russet wolf requested of her, rather politely in contrast to how stern he had looked moments before, her name and legitimacy to be here, the latter she didn't much have. He asked if she was born into Valhalla, and it surprised her that such a representative of the pack wouldn't know all of this already. Maybe this fellow was far younger and less experienced than his mannerisms and daunting appearance let on. The girl spoke calmly and assuredly, her mind taken far away from worrying over how the stranger would react. "My name is Nurra, and no, I am not from here. I mean," she turned her head to the side and crooked it a bit, opening her mouth with a tall smirk that showed her teeth, in order to show off her protracted, slender face and muzzle and long curving canine teeth almost more like serpent's fangs than a wolf's. Those features were what set her family apart from other wolves and reminded them of their origins from a far off island nation. "does it look like I am?" But she was immediately stricken with shame as guilt, once she caught that she was brandishing her unique and elegant snout to a wolf who was missing half of his. That look of hers lasted only a moment, and she corrected herself to look at him straight and austere again. Less enthusiastically than previously, she spoke, "I just came to help my newest friend," she nodded shortly in Rumble's direction, "because he thought there may have been some trouble in returning here. I volunteered to stand up for him if that were the case." She wanted to say more, to perhaps ask for admission into their pack, but her mind couldn't let the words fall out, for some sense of dignity that occasionally held her, that wouldn't let her ask for help from others. She had always acted independent, even when she was part of her old pack, preferring to hunt her own than take from those who offered her meal, and a part of her felt it some accomplishment when she did separate from the old pack even as loneliness took the other parts. She did want to stay here with Rum and become a part of the Valhallan family, but it may take them offering membership to her for her to surpass her pride and join. |
