warm blood, cold hearts

Her words gave him the assumption she was a traveler, something he found was quite common among those he had met so far. At some point in his life, he had been a traveler too. And he believed every wolf was one at some point in their lives. He nodded his head to her, a light smile touching his lips. "I can imagine," From experience, company was good after being alone for so long. He knew that. After his exile from his birth pack all those years ago, finding Winter and her pack had been a godsend. He hadn't really been alone since, except for the short time between losing her and finding Boreas. "Pardon me, but" Crimson gaze rose to meet hers, ears perking a bit. She seemed...focused? Perhaps thinking about what to ask, even? "Are you part of a community?" She paused for a moment before a small smiled appeared.

His own smile grew a little as the alabaster male stood a little taller and pride swelled in his chest, "It's quite alright." He chuckled, "But yes, actually...I am the new alpha of the nearby pack that goes by the name of Winterfell. We've only just established a few days ago." His words were proud, but not cocky. Acere was a humble creature, and never bragged about his life. He felt he was allowed to be proud. He had come a long way, and had finally decided that this was where his path had led him his whole life.
