Corbie nodded in greeting to both the newcomers as they offered their names. "A pleasure to meet you both," she told them, before giving Corvus' words more serious thought. They were from the now-defunct Abaven. Corbie was glad that more Abaven wolves had found their way to her pack. She could only hope those who hadn't had found living situations that more suited them, and that they weren't struggling. She worried sometimes, feeling somehow responsible for them since she had replaced their pack with her own. "In a lot of ways Avalon seeks to emulate Abaven," she said slowly. "We are politically neutral and seek no unnecessary quarrel. Anyone can find hospitality here regardless of their history, and learn from us or trade here. Our focus is more strongly on our livestock and what we can craft from what we grow here, and of our stewardship of the lands we live on. We do make certain we are able to protect ourselves and the beasts and lands under our protection, when we need to."
