Tic for tak

Just listening to the tales of the erupted volcano had her stomach tensing, and she would turn to face the East, wondering just what horrors awaited in the territories there. Smoke could kill any animal just as easily as drowning, and she could already imagine the charred flakes of ash snowing down on the earth, in a season meant to be in tune with rebirth and hope, causing a shift in the season like no other. Her ears perked at the mention of the packs true home being in the lost lands of the East, a tinge of sadness pulling at her heartstrings at the thought of a whole pack being forced from their homeland due to natures own will. But Sirius did not sound like a male who had lost all hope, instead he sounded more determined than anyone she knew, as if the words he spoke were already known to come true. It was an admirable quality, Odette decided, and she would put a mental tick next to a positive attributes section in her mind for Sirius. Mentally helping her to be less afraid of the giant.

She let out an awkward chuckle hearing how frail her fate was. Sure, she was beyond grateful to have enter Boreas on the right side of the volcanic line, but it also terrified her just how close to death she truly came. "Guess you could call me a Lucky Girl, then." She attempted to joke, which was quite a mile stone for the female. It took ages for her to get use to other wolves, quicker when the time was spent one on one, but still took time. To already be at the point where she was attempting jokes and smiling, well it showed just much she was trying to warm up to the place. Once again she fell silent as she listened, her eyes widening as she slowly turned to look up at Sirius, his warning of the pack south of the Empire striking fear in her heart. "K-Kill me?" She would mumble, more to herself than to him. Mentally she would put up large red signs around the territory called Auster, noting to stay as far away from the land as she possibly could. 

Murderous priests aside, the rest of his information didn't sound so bad. It appeared to Odette that there were quite a few other packs in these lands, and for the most part, if she ran into any of them, they would be reasonable. That brought a small sigh to her lips as she let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. It was as if her fear of deadly wolves was taken off her shoulders, for the most part, a sliver of a shadow clung onto her from those Auster wolves. "It's.. sad. Knowing so many were uprooted because of the Volcano. I'm so sorry. I hope everyone made it out okay." Her voice soft and genuine, and her mind was wracked with visions of burning wolves, screams she had never heard echoing in her ears. Odette shook her crown quickly, trying her best to rid herself of those images but she knew deep down what nightmares would await that night.
