His invitation caught her offguard at first. First, he showed manners; now, he was offering her a place to stay. It was all too much for the paranoid she-wolf to take in at once. After being on the run for so long, sleeping beside her husband in so many different places, she would finally have a place to settle in? She let a sliver of disbelief shimmer in her eyes. Nothing in life was guaranteed, she was a living witness to that. Surely, lurking in his words, there was something that would prove his intentions to be false. Her eyes never broke their gaze from the large, blue wolf that towered over her. She remained silent as she let his invitation sink into her mind. Stay in Tortuga for as long as she needed... That wouldn't be too hard to think of -- of course she would remain. Her safety was a priority and she knew to turn down such an offer would be stupid on her part. To be a part of a pack, though...that was definitely something she never imagined would happen to her. Such thoughts dwindled silently in her mind, blocked by the stony gaze that slightly trembled as she mentally peeked over her defenses. Maija's heartbeat skipped one beat as she slowly inhaled, letting the paranoia ebb from her thoughts. Maybe...maybe he wasn't the kind that was nice to your face and then stabbed you in the back later. He certainly put a lot of effort into how he carried himself to prove otherwise. On the exhale, she softly cleared her throat and replied to his invite. "Consider it accepted." Romanian tones curled around the words, her own tail physically curling at the tip. Was she crazy for choosing such a place in the world, let alone a pack she knew nothing about? She began to see the big picture shortly after accepting his invitation. There would be other members - she knew from the unfamiliar scents that began to trace themselves around the land. The golden Romanian wasn't completely sure she would be able to handle so many wolves at once, especially after being in solitude for more than half a year. The last bit of his invitation then began to sink in. Claim a rank... What would suit her best? She had been a pillar of ice when standing next to Rotterdam, but that didn't mean it would be best suited for her here. Different wolf, different circumstance. Subconsciously, she raised one of her paws and brushed it against the doe's furry carcass. Maija became the first to break their ocular connection and glanced down at the slowly decaying body that laid beneath her form. She licked her upper lip, taking some of the leftover blood with it and then looked back up to Taurig's kind face. "One that would fit me, I suppose...Nothing less of what I am capable of doing," she said, green gaze burning into his own set of icy blues. Whatever he said next would be the ice breaker for her voiced preferences. speech here |
