It was so wonderful for her to hear Toprak praise her improvement, her tail wagging eagerly at his words. She hadn't exactly been trying to improve her running skills, but it was still something that was no doubt good to have gotten better at, particularly since she was still classified as a hunter among her group. Her healing training hadn't quite gotten to par yet to label her a healer, but with time she hoped to master those skills even better than any others.

The winds picked up slightly, stirring the topmost, unstable layer of snow to cause it to swirl around blindingly. Thankfully her friend was very near and so even with the flurry she was still able to see him, her dark brown eyes squinting slightly as she continued to smile his way. He suggested over the din of the wind that they search for shelter, leaving the decision of which direction to head in up to her.

But where should they go? She spent so little time actually becoming familiar with the territories that surrounded her home that she didn't quite trust herself to find a place here within this wood to protect them until the winds died down enough for them to navigate for easily. The only place she trusted herself to find shelter in was her pack land, and she was not all that certain Toprak wished to go there. He had acted somewhat reluctant at the mention of it last time, but perhaps the time that had passed had given him a change of heart regarding the matter.

"I know a place," Mercianne answered, raising her voice gently to be heard over the wind and snow flurries, "but it my pack's land." She hesitated, her paws shifting as she considered whether or not to broach the subject, whether she ought to see if his feelings had changed. "Would...would you like to go there?" she asked, hopefully and uncertainly. There was a good chance he might say no, an even better chance that she wouldn't be able to convince him otherwise, but there was, she hoped, no harm in asking. "I'm not very familiar with this wood," she conceded, her smile sheepish as her ears fell back against her skull with timid embarrassment.
