A stranger? Oh Dear

Naiche offered to teach her to hunt and Rue balked at the idea of killing a living being. Her parents, being as old as they were, didn't hunt. The leggy girl frowned a bit. "I don't know. I've been doing well just eating fish and plants and eggs." Sure, she was skinny, but she was healthy, right? Not that she had much for comparison. She'd only met a few wolves aside from her parents. Maybe she did look sickly. Was that why Indy had been so nice to her? Hmm... she shook her head. "I've never hunted anything other than fish." The speckled girl grinned ruefully. "I've never even eaten red meat." He didn't seem like the type to accept all if this well. She couldn't say why, but he didn't.

Naiche then questioned her choice of living and Rue worried her lower lip with her teeth for a moment. "Honestly, the idea of being in a large group frightens me a bit." Rue was the epitome of a sheltered child. "It was just my parent's and I my whole life. I could count the wolves that I've met on one paw." She gave her head a shake. "I'm sure I'll be okay with it eventually, I'm just not ready yet." She looked away from the yellow man. "Everything happened so fast." She didn't want a pity party. Her parents had raised her better than that. As she said, she just needed time. Time and socialization. Spending time with Indy helped. Spending time with Naiche and Pan helped too.
