The silence was broken by the sound of teeth against bone, the happy gnawing of two wolves with meals well-earned. It was a companionable situation, and Desideria did not feel inclined to move, even as conversation slowly bubbled back to the surface. Cracking her bone in half, she nibbled thoughtfully for a few more moments before turning her August gaze back to the younger wolf. He was met with a wry smile as she picked off a tendril of meat and swallowed it down before she finally spoke back up.

"I'm sure they will, Kaj. Anyone who can bring food to the pack's cache is well appreciated." No matter the methods, she didn't add. That wasn't true for all groups, she knew, which was why she was currently on her own. It was about finding the right group – she had to find the right group. If she told herself that enough, it simply had to be true, right? "I want to find the right pack," she agreed. "I found several down south. Got run off the borders of one, near the peaks. The one near the lake, though – one of the females fed me. She was nice, I guess."

Admittedly, Namid had been the kindest pack wolf she'd met since entering the woods of Relic Lore, something she kept tucked in mind. "I just…wanted to see my options before I commit. See what kind of packs I could find up here, see if anyone was interested in me. Then I'll decide."

Des finished with a huff, looking back to the remains of her kill. "Suppose I ought to find a place to den down for the evening, pretty soon. It was good to meet you, Kajika. Wouldn't mind sharing a hunt with you again, for sure."

It seemed Kajika and Desideria were two birds of a feather. She might have laughed at her own little joke, if her thoughts didn't twinge a little at the idea of parting. Such good company was rarer than she wished to admit – and hunting was much easier when she had a competent partner. They might even be able to take down a fawn together – the younger wolf seemed keen on working together, rather than making sure he shown and got all the profit. Whomever had him as a pack mate should be grateful, she thought with a small sigh, gathering herself up.

"I think this is as far north as I'll go. I'm still - I'm still looking for my brothers, actually. I want to look a little more, and maybe then I'll go find her again. Her name was Namid, if you're looking for that sort of place. She said her pack was small, but caring. It was on a lake, if you like fish."

Her mouth twinged into a ghost of a smile. She certainly wouldn't mind seeing the large male again. "I'll see you again, yeah? Maybe we can hunt birds. If you find somewhere good to live, you tell me." Desideria winked before she began to move back to the area her pile of feathers stood. She paused for a moment, and glanced over her shoulder. "Good luck, yeah? Try not to miss me too much."

(Idly, she wondered just who that advice was really for.)

Bending down, she scooped up a few blue and green feathers in her mouth, hoping to use them later. Her prize in tow, she set off across the lowlands in search of a place to bed for a rest before setting off on her next adventure.

Exit.
