after all [Ashmedai]

The woman said her coat was too full to live in the south. Then she said there wasn't a bunch of packs here so she roamed. Ashmedai quirked an eyebrow, "What if there was a roaming pack? Just theoretically. Would you travel with a pack?" Ash had never heard of a traveling pack. Was that ever possible?

She gave her full name, Lirika Vera Lunashka. She said her family lived in Auster. Wasn't that... way... waaaay down south? Ashmedai stammered, "The super south Auster? Like the pretty much an island Auster? Maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else, but didn't you say your fur was too thick for south? Were you raised there? I hate to be hot. I'd leave and come north too!"

The woman mentioned the man Isardis as the alpha of the old pack. Ashmedai didn't know him and shrugged. "Never heard of him. It's only ever been Yfir and its alpha Katja up in the north for me."
