The delay of an answer was clearly down to shock from his sudden arrival. Indeed she hadn't done anything wrong yet and perhaps wasn't planning on doing so, though Iorwerth of course had no way to know of this information, and it was certainly far better to approach with caution and ensure that the pack was indeed safe and she wasn't about to pose a threat of any sort. The pause was too long for his liking however, and a feeling of irritation was certainly growing inside him. He had asked her a relatively simple question and yet she stood there, stupidly staring at him without a single word.
A low growl rumbled within his throat, a signal of his impatience and a warning that she had better answer swiftly before he truly lost his temper. Whatever she was planning unless her intentions were to bring annoyance upon those within Seracia, she wasn't exactly being too successful. For now he certainly didn't think the foolish woman as a threat, instead she was more of a nuisance. "I..uh..." After the hesitance to answer her these would be the first pathetic words of choice. Did the woman even speak English? "I am sorry, what was the question again? I seem to be lost in my own thoughts.." Apparently so, she really was lacking in intelligence he decided as she let out a small chuckle.
"What are you doing here?" He repeated the question once more, and though they hadn't been particularly friendly to begin with they were certainly far less so now, spoken slightly slower, the words stressed to make his point. He should not have needed to repeat himself. "Umm, I. I don't quite know how I ended up here. I do not believe I crossed any bonds, and I beg of you- if I did, to give me pardon. I am not use to pack life and its politics."
"No." He confirmed bluntly. "You're not yet within our lands. Why have you wandered so close though, do you seek something from the pack? If not you'd better just turn around now and go back the way you came." Of course little did he know that the woman was lost, would certainly struggle to locate the previous path and continue with a new one away from Seracia. His main concern was of course keeping the pack safe, and if that meant sending away any strangers that lingered too close to their borders, well he wouldn't hesitate to do so. She seemed in no harm or danger, she didn't need some kind of emergency help, therefore she could leave.
