Not quite a mountain goat

The lioness mentioned a pack, through Riva didn’t know the names of those in the land very well. She did find it somewhat surprising to hear that a lion was making a home in the lands of a pack, but who was she to judge.

When Bellamy thanks her, Riva smiled gently at her “It’s my pleasure, I'm just glad I was nearby” she explained. She was doubly glad she hadn’t had to fight the lioness, to scare her away, because Riva wasn’t delusional enough to think she might have had a chance. She didn’t have a chance against wolves, so the stronger, larger, and solo-hunter was have made an easy meal out of Riva.

“You owe me nothing, I live to learn and apply my craft, I don’t ask for anything in return” she explained as the wolf continued to express her thanks. She got a little embarrassed by the other girls appreciation, and fought down a blush. When it came to healing, Riva never had doubts, but social interactions, accepting thanks? These where things she found a little harder.

“I agree that we should spend a night here, you shouldn’t move too far right now, but after that? Your welcome to come back to Kesali with me, there would be no expectation over you, i’m sure my Alpha would offer you a place to stay temporarily well you recover and figure out your next steps.” she explained, not wanting to impose too much on a wolf that already pointed out that she was a drifter
