She didn't know the woman that approached her. It was possible she'd been at the last meeting, and she'd just missed her - which was very likely with over two dozen wolves attending. Her scent wasn't familiar though, so Ara figured she was a newer member. Lifting her head, her sapphire gaze found the younger woman and a smile appeared on her face, kind and welcoming. At least, in Fiori, she knew the wolves would have good intentions. It was nice to not worry about meeting less favorable company here; another welcome perk of pack life, and more reason to get to know the wolves in Fiori a bit better.

Her head, the pale tan fur a stark contrast to the rest of her pelt, tilted slightly to the side as she examined Faelyn's own golden coat briefly. "I'm well, thank you for asking," she spoke freely, her smile growing at the prospect of company on this cool autumn day. "What about you?" Her inquiry was a genuine one, rather than simple small-talk. "I was hoping to find some useful herbs today, before the cold really sets in." Not that the area ever got particularly inhospitable, but the plants would die out when winter made its presence known.
