The venom that seeped through this female's words was so sinister, so spiteful it made Valkyrie want to laugh. What wolf thought so highly of herself and her opinions that any deviations could bring forth such spite? Was it so insulting to her that Val preferred warmth to the cold. Was it so foreign a concept that perhaps Val had seen true hardship and because of that she preferred comfort. Hell, she had been born in a horrendous winter ice storm that had killed both of her parents and all siblings, cold was all she had known since the moment she came into the world. And traveling long miles as soon as her eyes opened had been no picnic. Sparring with a male wolf one year her senior had hardened her, a Rogue's life had made her wary and wise. So excuse me if I choose to be jovial and seek out comfort rather than wallow in my self-proclaimed, self-fulfilling misery. What a poor, tortured creature. Valkyrie knew the source of this shewolf's sinister attitude, but that didn't mean she was in the mood to put up with it. She weighed her options carefully but quickly.




Val rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck, loosening her muscles and shedding some tension. A smirk had wormed it's way onto her face and she couldn't seem to quell it. Instead she embraced it and mused out, "Sheltered?" Val looked up at the sky, coy as can be. "My, not much shelter here at all, sorry. I've seen some nice dens in my day though, let me tell you. In one land, covered in swamp, I met a pack that made their dens in the gnarled roots of mangrove trees. Another band had woven branches into a tangled downed tree to make their own nest. Dens behind water falls and in glaciers and hollowed ancient volcanoes, warrens and labyrinths alike. No, this hardly compares to those, sorry." She avoided this angry shewolf still. If Val was lucky, her rant would kill two birds with one stone, both irritating her companion and illustrating that she was indeed well traveled and well versed in the trials of the world, all while maintaining that happy-go-lucky purr as if she hadn't a care in the world.
