As it stood Chord knew very little of the families in Alacritia. He knew of course his own blood currently held two packs though hadn't regarded the fact that it surely meant his last name stood a high chance of being recognised and some reaction following. Xanilov however was a completely new name to him and the Ebony pack barely known either in his mind. He himself had walked out on three family packs now seeking a life of his own, even if he did know anything of Valeriya's past he was hardly the one suitable for giving her any sort of lecture, it would be rather hypocritical.
He'd met stranger wolves than Valeriya before anyway, he wouldn't think the girl as 'batty'. In fact currently he had assumed perhaps she was a little timid, she'd seemed somewhat taken by surprise when he'd suddenly appeared before her after all and her own introduction hadn't seemed all that confident when she spoke. Suddenly though she would find herself a little more at ease as she changed the conversation back to the topic of the caverns, pleased to hear that there wasn't anyone else around. It was a little strange for one so young to be wondering alone, though Chord didn't really consider her age too much or the rules for whether she should be with parents or not. She wasn't after all a tiny little pup, perhaps then he may have had a different opinion, by this point he figured she could look after herself.
She would come forth to investigate the caverns for herself, and Chord would step to the side to allow her to easily do so. Once satisfied Valeriya would look back towards him and once more speaking more confidently than her first few words she'd ask if perhaps he could help her. He personally had planned on exploring the caves, though both tasks could be done together, they could travel through them and stop when they found a suitable place for Valeriya to sleep. What would happen then, well he wasn't sure but he'd just roll with it.
"Yeah alright. I've not been in them before so might take a bit of searching but I'm sure we'll find somewhere for you." He cheerily declared. "Lets take a look then." And with that he would head back into the caverns pausing after a few steps to check that Valeriya was following before heading any further inside.
