Hello Loneliness my old friend.

Heloise knew the other wasn't convinced of it entirely, but she had nodded all the same. she chose to ignore the pessimism and not address it. the young woman's name was Yurei, causing the ivory beast to dip her head in a nodding bob. "a pleasure to meet you, Yurei" she wondered the origins of the name. it sounded almost Asian, a language she wasn't entirely familiar with yet. though she also felt it was rude to ask. focusing on the woman again, she'd smile kindly. "so you are a lone wolf? I was one too."

until she met Acere and Fracture, she was not sure she even wanted to be part of a pack. it was an adjustment, that was for sure. but she seemed to be doing good thus far. perhaps Yurei was with a family unit, like some others she had encountered. if she was truly by herself... Heloise felt herself worried. "the only pack in this northern land" she'd angle her ears toward the pines and the ship "we're new, to my understanding. a man Acere is our king."

she wasn't going to recruit Yurei for Winterfell. she was still a new member herself and felt that the pack was already full. though she didn't know the exact number, it seemed quite full. it wouldn't be fair to promise Yurei anything and not deliver.
