We Were The Kings and Queens of Promise

Her posture was ever-guarded and cautious. Kiela wasn't the type of wolf to get along with others easily; she was more blunt and factual than anything else, preferring to exchange information over small talk. Not that she had much use for friends anyway with the way she lived, never staying in one place for very long at all. She wouldn't loosen her stiff stance even as Severine began to speak, though her facial expression softened subtly. She started speaking right away, saying more than Kiela generally did at once, though she was grateful for any information she had to give. "Ah - yes. I wanted to find somewhere to spend the night, later," she admitted. It did sound like a good place to seek refuge for the night but Kiela wasn't sure how much ground she'd cover before she decided to rest for the night.

Kiela gave a little nod, acknowledging her greeting. "I am Kiela," she introduced herself, her tone low, discernible but not overly pronounced over the ambient noise of the forest. She shifted her weight from one paw to the other, grateful for the moment to rest her paws from movement. "I am here just - because of the reindeer herd." It didn't matter if she misinterpreted her statement. She was here to keep them safe, not necessarily simply to feed on them - and it wasn't like she could take down a healthy reindeer on her own anyway. "The forest, is new to me. But beautiful," she explained, lifting her head briefly to the sky to glance at the treetops far above their heads.
