Serpents In My Mind

A bastard, huh? Perhaps she and Tyranis had more in common than she'd thought. She herself had been born to a rogue, to a mother that had hardly wanted anything to do with her once she was whelped and able to survive on her own. Given that she'd never heard a thing about her father, she could only assume he too had been equally uninterested in raising a child. Oh well - fuck 'em. She hadn't needed them anyway, clearly. "Fitting in is overrated, anyway," she offered with a gentle shrug, and a slight grin. Though his childhood hadn't been very easy, neither had hers, and she could somewhat relate to how he'd felt.
Apparently in Ruina he had found purpose, though, and she watched unblinkingly as his gaze shifted as he spoke of leaving his first pack. He'd started a pack of his own, which had failed, and he'd struggled until coming here. She wouldn't fault him for it, deciding that his tenacity in trying to lead his own group was honorable, even if he hadn't been ready for it at the time. "Sounds like those wolves were too weak for you," Kori offered, her gaze briefly finding the snake, who seemed to have relaxed - slightly, at least - in her presence. "Perhaps the fault had been in them, rather than you."
Or... perhaps it had been a bit of both? Either way, he'd admitted he'd been young then, and he'd had too much baggage to lead a proper pack. "Or maybe it'd been you. Oh well. At least you're strong enough now to admit fault, rather than pretend anyone other than you is responsible for your fate." Her words were plainly honest, little judgment in her keen stare as she looked back to Tyranis, studying him with obvious interest. "It sounds like you're on the right path now, and that's all that really matters." She raised an eyebrow, curious about more now. "Do you intend to climb toward leadership here? I won't tell, if that's what you're planning." Her smile was a playful one, mixed with a bit of flirtatiousness that was characteristic of her - especially around men like Tyranis. She herself had no interest in actual leadership, though climbing the ranks did sound appealing on some level.
