Unseasonably Warm [Atreyu]

Thank you for the offer... Atreyu knew exactly what came after those words, but she was not offended. It was the same thing she would have done to a giant stranger offering a free meal. The dire woman had seen the cruelties of the world first hand, though she managed to escape with her life, the genocide of her home pack had left her bereft and lonely in this world. Eager to make friends with the steely woman before her, Atreyu only offered a disappointed smile and nodded not wanting to press the other too hard and start a fight. "Maybe some other time, then." Noting that the woman's returned smile didn't quite reach her eyes, Atreyu wondered if she had made a mistake in approaching. She didn't want to put another out by just wanting some dinner and company.

The search for her siblings was beginning to look bleak, and she needed this distraction to help her to move forward with her life. She mourned her mother and father, all of her siblings and her pack mates still. The demon king had taken everything from her, but she had to keep moving forward. There was always hope that she would find maybe some remnant of Judila, of her family, but so far everything had left her with empty paws and an empty heart. Her grief was too deep to explore, so she decided she would ignore it until a year had passed, then she would let it loose.

The woman introduced herself as Valkeyrie and Atreyu smiled, waving her tail. "It's nice to meet you Valkeyrie." The dark woman went on to ask her about her line, Atreyu dipped her head graciously as she accepted her compliment and question. "I hail from the Morningstar line, we come from far away, a place called Judila...ours is a sad story..." Those silver-to-lavender holographic eyes nearly filled with tears before she beat the emotion back into place. "What about you?" She did not want to dwell on the fate of her family for too long, crying in front of strangers was not allowed.
