So Aerie was still here, leaving Aryn with more questions than she had answers. Eligos arrived, looking equally as confused as she felt, posing a question of his own. Her ears slicked back but she swallowed and held her scarred head high, trying to muster up whatever confidence she had instilled upon herself on the long walk here. "Yes, something is wrong." She admitted. Lots was wrong. Habari was a terrible place to live, she'd made a new friend, she wanted to live there, with her ... but Aryn did not want to say all that to Eligos. A part of her felt like if she admitted her desire to go elsewhere even further from him and Aerie, that it would be all but accepting that there had never been anything between them and never would be. She swallowed, returning to her script.
Being careful to not appear sulking or in need of rescue, she kept her voice level and did her best to not let the nerves show upon her face. "I want to fight for my right to leave Habari but I'm not strong enough. I came here looking to hire you to train me, but-" Her voice wavered, the uncertainty pouring through as her pink gaze swept off his own and onto the surrounding territory. "- Well, are you still... doing stuff like that?" If Eligos and his pack were still here, why were his borders no longer maintained?
