Still Growing [Shelby]

Flint listened to Tallis speak with easy interest, gaze meandering around the scenery, sometimes on him and sometimes not. I haven't heard about that pack yet, she thought to herself as he went on, not wanting to interrupt. Just as well, it sounds a bit shaky. She wondered if she would ever be ready to join a pack again. On good days she was fine company, but other times when the spite was upon her she lashed out at whomever she could. Not good qualities for a pack wolf at all, but in moments like this she found company enjoyable. Perhaps she could only endure it in small doses or with a select few. She had yet to find a large gathering of wolves she could stand since leaving her family all those moons ago.

Her interest sharpened as he addressed her, and her brain began to churn as it fought to spit out the correct answer. How long had she been here? time had seemed to run together, what with all the odd climates here, it was hard to tell seasons and she had never been particularly adept at keeping track of the moon or stars. "I've not been here nearly so long," she began. "A moon perhaps. I'm still learning the lay of the land and of the wolves who live here. I've met two wolves from Valhalla and one from Glaciem but none yet from Amenti. Where does your pack live precisely? I must not have come across your lands yet, for all that I've been exploring since I got here." She had hardly slept a night in the same place since arriving, it was instead constant motion, constantly changing scenery. It was not in her nature to be stagnant, or to deprive herself from experiences or adventures. She grew bored too easily. Perhaps that was why she had agreed to spend a night beside a fascinating stranger.

She took stock of herself before beginning again. She hadn't thought much of her 'story' in a long while, but if he wanted to know she'd give her best at answering him. "As to my story, it's nothing special. I was born to a small pack with a small claim. I have siblings and aunts and uncles, and was born to the alpha and alphess. It was very boring though, and while my father had me lined up to carry on his line and take over the pack, I couldn't stand the thought of living in the same damned place my entire life, with the same wolves. After my first taste of battle, I passed the torch onto my oldest brother and left. I've been roaming ever since." It all seemed fairly lackluster to her, and she was suddenly a bit self conscious. Her most interesting tales and experiences had been recently, since she had come to Alacritis. For this male to have lived here for so long, she must seem that much more drab. She sighed and looked away, waiting to see what he would make of her.
