One night, as you do, we were talking about stuff... [Corbie]

Alarr's words caught her somewhat by surprise, and she couldn't help the faintly chagrined smile that flashed over her muzzle. It was just so silly, really. Pirates? That was something out of old human tales, just stories. She had a hard time taking them seriously. But it did seem they would need to be taken seriously after all, since Alarr's warning was quite clear. At some point this pack intended to raid Avalon for their resources. Instead of laughing, she sighed. "I suppose it was too much to hope that others would find it in them to trade honestly for what they wanted," she said wryly. "We won't be going into it unprepared, though. I've been in talks with Valhalla for them to do a practice raid on us to show where we need to work on our defenses. I hadn't thought it would be needed so soon, but it is what it is." She studied the older wolf for a moment, considering whether to ask him about his former packmate or not... but ultimately decided not to. She was adamant that joining Avalon meant that someone's past didn't matter to her, but that didn't mean it didn't matter. She wouldn't ask someone to break trust with someone that had once been so closely bonded to them. Any information he chose to volunteer would be his choice alone, with no prompting from her. "Hopefully Ardyn will lead his mock raid soon enough that we can benefit from the practice, but be recovered when the Pirates make their own move."
