just let go

There was no one obligating her to stay in this place. Not that anyone could anyway, no one held power over her except herself, but there was no one who was at least asking to consider staying. Why? Because she didn't know anyone. She hadn't run into anyone except for Killian, but that had just been by chance. She tried to pass off the fact that she liked helping out people, despite knowing that it was blatantly obvious. She didn't run around smiling and happy as can be because she helped someone out, but each time she helped someone, she felt a little more at peace with herself. She knew the resentment she held towards her mother and the distrust that was projected to the rest of the world wasn't good for her, and it wasn't fair to those she'd never gotten to know to not be given a chance, but she couldn't help it. For all she knew everyone was like her mother. Looking to get close to her only to up and leave her without reason. She wasn't going to let that happen again.

If others knew what kind of past she came from, they would understand why she's so closed off, so hard to read, so stoic. It was a rare occasion, she couldn't remember the last time it had happened if it ever happened, that she displayed any kind of emotion, even anger. Oh she's been angry before, it was just that no one ever knew because she'd become so good at masking her emotions beneath her seemingly statue-like visage. And that's what Killian was seeing now, the statue-like Alessa simply sitting there, only the flicker of her tail, moving of her eyes and the rising and falling of her chest giving away the fact that she was alive. There were some times that she wished she could be more open with others, more willing to let them in. Traveling on her own and being without the company of her own kin weighed heavily on the young girl at the times. Wolves were pack animals, they were meant to be around others of their kind, not traveling alone for most of their life. Was this why she was lingering in this new place? Could she be hoping that somehow she would learn to be around others, to accept them and possibly let them in? Killian's chuckle, accompanied by his words broke her thoughts. The creamy peach she-wolf snapped herself from her thoughts with a shifting of her mass, talons kneading into the soil as she refocused her two-toned gaze on the earthen colored boy beside the water. Is your paw feeling any better? she murmured softly, the sarcasm from before gone.

OOC: it's not a big deal XD
