'cause that's just who I am this week

The giant of a woman informed her that she took very good care of herself at her own age, and the girl frowned. Well, after all that time spent wandering around hungry she probably would never get to be that big. Well, that was a disappointment. She would then continue on to explain what her role was, earning a slow bob of the girls violet head. Of course, it was the way a pack worked. Everyone took care of everyone. That was why Bacc's moms took care of her now. The bigger lady sat down in the wilted flowers, asking a question in a very calm, soft voice. It was strange that a fighter lady would speak so quietly, in the girl's young mind. She shrugged heavily, looking around for a moment. Was that bumblebee back? Her thigh hurt a bit, where the other boy had bitten her. Well, she'd signed up for spars, so she had to deal with the fact that she would get hurt every now and again. "Well," She began timidly, returning her attention to the features of the behemoth female. "I wanna be a fighter too, uh, a sss- sentry, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at it." She sighed, the faint accent in her words just audible around the vowels. She looked at her alabaster stained toes, wiggling them into the hard packed earth beneath them. "I wanna protect everyone, keep them safe. Bacc and his moms, they gotta be safe. They're very nice." She continued in a quieter voice, as though it were nothing more than a note to herself. She was determined to keep them all safe, those wolves who had taken her in after her mommies... Went away.

A low hum would escape her, a quiet affirmation. Everything would be good from now on. She drew her mismatched gaze back to the head sentry, smiling broadly at her. "D'you think you can teach me to be a good fighter? I wanna learn." She enquired softly, expression baleful as she gazed up at the woman. If this lady could teach her, maybe she would be able to keep her family safe. Of course, she was still little, there was time for her to get bigger, and be tall like Bacc and Birna (not that it would happen). She knew she would learn how to become a better protector for her new family, and how to hunt, maybe some healing, and all of that. It would just take time.
