gather ye rosebuds while ye may

In response to Enrico's words Ferrous nodded her understanding coolly; her expression noncommittal. Inwardly she was a bit less collected. No matter how much she downplayed it, this was a big deal. There were so many what ifs. What if the catch came later when she was in too deep to make a clean getaway? What if in the middle of the night he hit her over the head with a rock and traded her to some loonies? What if this pack was perfect for her? Out of all the what ifs, that last one was the scariest. She'd have to commit to something bigger than herself and that thought terrified her. Her siblings had faded away one by one until it was just her and Zahir. Their disappearances had wounded her, but she'd grown stronger because of them. The isolation had made her tough. Detached. This pack could change that and that was not okay.

Ferrous waffled a few seconds longer - she was just calloused enough that the bit about the assassin had blown by her completely - and then nodded to herself firmly. Alright, she'd made up her mind.

She cocked her head and stared up at the big wannabe alpha. "Alright, Mister Alpha guy. I'm interested. I'll give your pack a try - if you want." Fearlessly she fixed him with a stern look before continuing, "But if it's not for me, if it's no good, I'll be on my way before you can say 'take a chance.'"
