Frostbite seemed a kind man, at least from this initial encounter of theirs, and Ara was pleased. "Thank you," she offered gently, her ears flicking as she realized something, pausing as she got a better look at Frostbite now. "I do think you've met my friend Athena before. I happen to remember her describing to me a wolf that looked remarkably similar to you." The markings on his face were unique enough that it was unlikely she'd ran into another wolf that looked so similar to him around these parts. Her decision to approach this man, and his pack, was only solidified as a good choice at her realization that Athena had met him before.
She couldn't help but feel a slight bit of relief when he explained they had room for plenty more wolves, and her gentle smile brightened. From his explanation, Lirim sounded like a pack that fit well with her family's values - as well as Athena's, she was fairly certain. "It sounds like we'll fit in well here," she agreed gently. "I tend to keep to myself," Ara explained, hoping he would understand. "Though I should tell you I'll help anyone in need, whether packmate or stranger." Unless the individual had done something to harm someone she cared for, or someone she was loyal to, she wouldn't withhold her services no matter what. "And I will be beyond willing to teach any that need it. I can promise I won't disappoint you in Lirim." Ara spoke with a strong conviction, sure that she wouldn't let him down - she was too old now to wander too far, and she needed a place to truly consider home after so long on her own.
