Not quite a mountain goat

The dusty-brown she-wolf tilted her head at Riva's offer to stay with Kesali, a wave of quiet panic rushing over her despite herself. She wasn’t ready to let her travels end just yet; as far as Belle was concerned, her adventure had just started. The young wolf opened her mouth to say something, anything, but she closed it as the she-wolf assured her hat she could stay temporarily, while she recovered. She considered it for a few moments, ticking it over in her mind.
“Yes, that would be amazing! Thank you,” She gave a friendly yet somewhat strained smile at the she-wolf’s offer, unable to help but feel a little anxious, though grateful that she wouldn't have to support herself in this state. She wasn’t entirely convinced that if she recuperated in the pack's refuge she wouldn’t be obligated to stay put for longer, but she didn’t have much other choice in her current situation. Get it together, she mentally chastised herself; she knew she was making something out of nothing.
As the lioness requested to stay and learn about herbs, mentioning the ‘fatal mistake,’ Belle couldn’t help but notice the lioness glance towards her, raising her eyebrows in response when she met her gaze but otherwise looking indifferent. “Yeah, I wouldn’t mind learning a thing or two as well, just to help me out on the road.” Belle agreed. Just so I don't try to down another round of poison, She added in her mind.
“So, what’s Kesali like?” The yearling asked Riva curiously, trying to feel out her new potential refuge; hopefully finding out more about them would calm her nerves. This could be fun, she thought, if she chose to make it that way. “Not too strict, is it?”Bellamy queried, a cheeky smile playing on her maw, although this question was pretty important to her; the female wasn’t sure how well she'd cope in a highly regimented environment, even for a short while.
