The other female suddenly seemed to gain confidence again after Novella had pointed out she certainly couldn't be her mother. She assumed that this mother must have been a fairly scary wolf to have made her suddenly so timid for now the other suddenly seemed more authoritative, reminding the younger of her place. She wasn't meant to be here, a fact that the other apparently knew.
"You're from Ahlon though. Who are you?" A different sort of shock now crossed Novella's features at the initial statement. Ahlon wasn't exactly close to these lands and yet here was another that had heard of them. Had she come from Ahlon herself? That seemed more important to find out than her introduction at the moment. "You've heard of Ahlon? Did you live there once?"
"Oh, I'm Novella." She added as an afterthought, recalling the question that she had been asked and figuring that she ought to respond to it. The last thing she needed was to get in trouble, though she certainly hoped she was going to be lucky enough to avoid it given this rather strange meeting that was taking place, how strange of course she was yet to fully realise.
