Her own expression flashed with mild confusion. Mud's question of what a cart was had surprised her. Maybe it was because Mud wasn't used to speaking in the common tongue. Audra's ears flicked back for a moment as she frowned. "O-oh sorry, uh, a c-cart is like a big w-wood thing with wheels that carry things," she was unsure how to explain what a cart really was. "I-it's big enough to f-fit about three wolves on it, I s-suppose," her voice murmured as she shifted her weight. The last thing she wanted was to confuse or throw off Mud. Upsetting others was not on her daily agenda.

Sighing softly, her mood turned back to chipper as she watched Mud smile. Something about Mud made her believe that she reserved her outward emotions for only necessary interactions. Returning the gesture, she nodded. The other female's thick and deep accented voice was lulling and oddly relaxing. She could listen to her speak for hours if she kept on about plants. Oh, she could talk about plants for days until their ears fell off. "L-lavender is one of my favorites," Audra chirped as she glanced over the valley with a dreamy expression.

Mud's question made her pause for a moment. "Oh, I-I wouldn't consider my-myself one for them," she hesitated with her words. Valhalla was merely offering her a temporary home for the time being and her decision would come turn spring. "I do n-not yet belong to a pack, just merely staying with them for the w-winter," Audra spoke carefully because she didn't want to overstep her boundaries. Calling herself one of the pack before she was permanently accepted would be in bad taste.

Before she could continue or ask another question, a gentle breeze rolled over the valley. With it, the scent of another wolf caught her attention. Her body froze, muscles tensing as her ears turned first and tail tucked between her legs. Glancing around carefully, her honey-brown eyes scanned the tall grasses and herb ladened field. Up in the distance, a pair of eyes peeked over the grass with observation. Hesitant, she looked back to Mud. "I-it appears we have someone w-watching us," Audra spoke quietly, her body turning slowly so that she faced more toward Mud and the newcomer. Defending wasn't her forte, she was a healer after all, but Cairo had given her a few lessons so she'd at least be ready at the first sign of danger.
