it hurts to read permanence
Inoki!

It warmed her heart to hear Halo speak so fondly of her packmates. It seemed she was making friends here, or at the very least had good enough relations to be comfortable with them. Inoki had no qualms about helping strangers out when it was needed, but Halo was much more shy than her. "I'm sure they'd appreciate that very much," she said lightly, already glancing around at the greenery around them even though she was sure no cannabis would be right there ahead of her.
She could only guess Sirius was said alpha of the pack, and Halo seemed to think highly of him. Packs weren't exactly Inoki's thing as she preferred being able to go wherever she pleased, even if it meant she wouldn't have the security of having others to watch her back. Her eyes widened at Halo's offer, stunned to the point of not speaking, until finally she made a soft noise, clearing her throat. "Oh! Uhm, I wouldn't want to impose on Sirius, I'm sure he doesn't need any more healers or fighters in his pack, even just for a short season. " Faced with a rock and a hard place (not wanting to hurt Halo's feelings by saying no, and being stuck in a pack for an entire season) Inoki kept her words vague, neither agreeing with or going against her friend's offer. It was a sweet gesture, really, but she would need to think it over before coming to a decision. Although... spending more time with Halo was a very tempting idea.
"But I think you should ask him first before we do anything else, I wouldn't want to get our hopes up only to have him say no," she continued on, giving Halo's shoulder a gentle bump as she moved past her to begin searching for the cannabis. Inoki knew it was a leafy green plant, but it had been a while since she last laid eyes on some, so figured she'd ask her friend for a bit of a refresher course as they searched. "What does it look like again? And where exactly should we be looking?" She turned to look back at Halo over her shoulder, a wider grin on her face now as she prompted her friend to focus more on the herb hunting. |
