and then everything changed

Corbie wasn't an expert on people, not really, but when someone said "I'm fine" in quite that tone of voice, she didn't really think that they were actually fine. So when the shout caught her startled attention, she was concerned. It didn't take her long to track the source of the shout, since the plains were all but empty of wolves right now, so as soon as she found a hot scent nearby she knew it was right. Moving faster now that she found it, she came across a much larger, younger woman. "Excuse me," she called out softly, not wanting to startle her. "What's wrong?" Because obviously something was wrong.
