I Won't Be Left

It struck her suddenly just how little of this tongue she really knew. She understood it well enough, but speaking it felt infinitely more complex. Still, there wasn't much more she could've done to prepare herself - she'd always been the type to learn by doing things herself rather than merely observing. She was glad for a chance to be practicing now, with someone whose facial expressions and tone were unfamiliar to her - she couldn't use them to aid her like she might back home, with her kin.

He agreed with her, and she nodded in understanding. These less hospitable lands were among her favorite. Here you were less likely to find weak-willed creatures; only the strongest could climb these peaks, and those who were able were gifted with sights such as this. Kiela found herself sighing contentedly as she watched the falls for a moment longer. As badly as she wished she could trek higher, these slate cliffs that made up the falls seemed far too steep to navigate... though she didn't mind taking risks, this one didn't seem like a smart one. "Ah," she responded quietly. So he was a pack wolf then - maybe not now, but it sounded like he might be one soon. Or maybe he was just visiting. She had no way of knowing, though, but she couldn't help but try to figure him out. She knew wolves here operated differently - they settled down, they claimed lands. It was nothing like the world she'd grown up in, and as eager as she was to explore the world she couldn't help but feel pulled toward her more traditional roots. Though she would be cautious in treading where she shouldn't despite her own beliefs about property and ownership, she couldn't help but wonder just how far that caution would extend. It was definitely not infinite.

"My name is Kiela. I grew up.. far away. Though I believe some family come to these lands." These northern lands were allegedly home to multiple caribou herd, which was precisely why she was here. Her own expression was still neutral as she watched Casso, noting the way he smiled as if he was enjoying her company. Perhaps the wolves here wouldn't be too terrible, though she knew she could always find more desolate places to escape to if she became overwhelmed with anyone's company. "Have you seen any caribou, when you come this way?" He'd said he was just passing through, and they weren't too far north, so it was likely he hadn't yet, but she found no harm in asking.
