Lae nodded at the woman's words. She didn't seem certain about joining the Hallows..yet. She recalled her own joining the pack in what felt like ages ago, where she had encountered the Aegis and because of his kind nature, she decided to become part of the Hallows itself. Good memories for her, well and truly. She believed fate had brought her here knowing she'd fall ill with paralysis during the Long Night, and because she was in the safety of the castle and her packmates were kind and merciful, she had survived miraculously. In other words, she felt the pack ad saved her life. She had to owe her lifetime to them at this point.

Lae nodded as Memento Mori mentioned she was cousins to Ezra. She knew who Ezra was, though hadn't had the chance to interact with him one-on-one. Making a mental note in her head to talk to him as well, she smiled. "Ah, so you're an Adravendi, then?" The new wolf's being here made even more sense now - she wasn't just a passing loner like Laeta had been, she had connections to the family here. Though she didn't know how close the woman was to her cousin, she supposed her visiting meant she was on good terms with the man. And that family ties were important to her as well.

Laeta heard the woman's next words with understanding deep in her ruby eyes. This girl was exactly how she had felt all those seasons ago where she had stumbled across the border of the Hallows. Though at that time, she had not been in a good headspace, broken down by her trauma experienced as a loner. She supposed she had Artorias to thank for showing her such mercy and compassion, when she was weak and hungry and exhausted on all levels. Memento Mori's reasonings for trying out the pack life seemed to be on lighter terms, at least. Lae smiled. She hoped the woman would choose to make her home here, but if she didn't - well, at least she had the pleasure of meeting somebody knew. That was always a blessing.

When asked if she had been in the Hallows long, Laeta replied, "I haven't been here very long, compared to other members. I arrived here shortly before the Long Night events occurred. Artorias was kind to me, and offered me a home when I had none." She paused, and realizing she hadn't even given this kind lady her name, she added, "Ah, where are my manners? My name is Laeta. I'm a Scholar here. I have a unique role in that I provide emotional support for wolves - much like a physician cares for the body, I care for the mind and soul's wellbeing." Smiling warmly towards her new acquaintance, she shifted in her seat, her hip joints popping softly. Arthritis was a pain, literally, but her discomfort was easily distracted the joy of interaction. "So, if you ever need someone to talk to in private, I'll be around." She didn't know if the woman would even stay - that was her decision in the end - but if there was anything she was struggling with, Lae made sure to offer her support. Nobody should have to struggle alone with their anxieties and worries, she believed.
