How did this happen

A smirk played on her lips as the girl sighed and spoke her relief at finding no one lived here. Natalya doubted she would be so relaxed about being there if she knew the true danger that lurked there. Various predators, cougars among them, enjoyed the marshy land. For what reason, Nat couldn't fathom. It certainly would not be a comfortable resting place for a mammal on the ground, which made it a terrible home for any wolves.



"You are correct that its unlikely you will make it back by nightfall," she responded matter-of-factly. "You would be lucky to clear both this land and the ravine by then. What caused you to travel so far into such unfamiliar territory, if you do not mind me asking?" Nat couldn't help her curiosity over the matter. She wanted to have some understanding of how the girl ended up here. She also wished to spend a bit more time talking to her, to judge her character. If she determined that she posed no risk, Nat may be willing to offer her a place to sleep for the night, but she would not risk her pack's safety without being sure.
