What would her mother think if she knew that Askan could be the key to finding out what had happened to Lachesis and the Surge. Oksana remembered well the way Inna had spoken of the grouchy man. That was the impression she'd gotten of him the first time she'd met him. She would however give him some credit. He'd humored her, she was young and he hadn't sent her away or immediately walked away. Still she knew that Askan was partially or a lot to blame for some of the things that had happened to her mother. Inna was gone though and Oksana made her mind up to not hold grudges. 

Her expression brightened when the woman said that she had heard Lachesis name. The way she described the relationship between the two men told Oksana that this stranger wasn't lying. "They were very close. I was in Lachesis pack," she explained. A frown did cross her features when she was asked more about her former alpha. "No, I haven't any idea where he went. I don't know if he's even still alive. I was hoping to find out if he was alright and if Driftwood Surge had escaped whatever had happened."

The way her mother had spoken of what she knew Oksana imagined that every one leaving probably happened quickly. There wasn't anyway to know for sure unless she met someone who had been through it. Shr was fine not finding out but she really did want to know about the old alpha. 

Oksana nodded at the question. "I've only been through Kingsfall and the Ethos but its much like this. Overgrown and no sign that anyone has been there in a long time." The dark girl was wondering if it was like that all over the lore. It just seemed so desolate and lonely. It made her sad to think that she had left her mother in the loneliness.  She reminded her that Inna wasn't alone. She had Kisla and Maksim and all of the other family members that had passed before them. "I'm hoping that if we've returned others have too."

Whether she found out anything about the surge or not she hopes she might run into others. She had plans to travel around the lore to see qhat she could find. It would take time but she had that. The only problem was the winter weather, she knew how bad it could get in the lore. Oksana could only hope all the preparations she'd made would be enough to see her through her first winter on her own 

The crow was a little surprised by the question but she answered anyway, "Oksana Baranski, and you are?" She supposed it only fair the ask considering. Then the question of who her mother was came out. She supposed that was expected since she'd spoken if her and the woman had shared who her father was. "My mother was Inna Baranski." Surely the woman knew of her. Oksana was sure Askan wouldn't have many nice things to say in regards to her mother. 

Oksana's plan was to travel around the lore like she and her mother used to do sometimes. After this meeting she had to wonder if there was anything out there to find. It was very clear that something had caused everyone to leave. Before she'd left with Inna there had been signs of wolves everywhere, even in the emptiest of places. Now there wasn't anything. The lore was a big place and she could only hope that she and the woman she now spoke with weren't the only ones. 

"Its nice to meet you," she told Marian politely. After all thus new acquaintance seemed a bit more pleasant than her father. "I'm sorry I don't believe I've heard of your mother," she spoke not remembering Inna ever speaking about her. Oksana had to stop the laugh that nearly escaped when Marian spoke about Inna and Askan getting along. "No, they didn't get along at all. It was a whole thing." Oksana wondered if Askan had told his daughter the whole story as Inna had done for her 

Until speaking with Marian it had been a long time since she'd thought of the bad blood between her mother and Askan. She didn't like to let her mind wander there. It brought back memories that she woukd much rather forget. Now that she had been reminded she couldn't help but wonder if Askan ever thought about it. She of course would keep that curiosity to herself. Sometimes it was better to just not know. This had been a difficult lesson for the young Crow to learn but she had and she lived by it. 

"I suppose for a little while at least," she said replying to Marian's question. "The truth is I haven't really thought it all the way through." She wanted badly to find some of the wolves she once knew. There was the question of what she would do if she didn't find anyone. "How about you? Do you have plans of staying?" she asked wondering if Marian would be staying in the Lore as well.

The truth was Oksana really hadn't given much thought to what she would do next. Not much past seeing if there was anyone in her old territory. It was pretty clear there wasn't any one there nor in Shallow's Edge. That only left the question of whether or not they were somewhere else in the Lore. She hoped that maybe after some time a plan woukd forn but she and herd mom had always wandered so what was the difference really. Oksana thought she needed more time after having put her mother to rest. What she did know whether she liked it or not she had to move on with her life. She needed a better idea of what was going in in the lore. 

She was curious what the other woman would do now that she knew about the edge. The crow nodded along with what Marian said. 

"I'm hoping you're right but I don't think it would do well to stay in the places we know there isn't anything left." Anyways nothing besides the memories of which not all were the greatest ones to have.
