Sagacity's look of somewhat hesitant calmness changed to that of surprise when the hare was nudged toward her- she looked up at Naira, quite shocked, to make sure she was honest about what she was doing. Sagacity hadn't had the energy to hunt since she had come back, but she'd become so tired that she'd almost forgotten the sensation of hunger. Now with something offered to her, her stomach gave an obligatory growl- a plea and an appreciative sound at the same time- reminding her of her emptiness. While she wanted nothing more than to hungrily wolf the meal down- and in truth it would have taken mere moments, nothing more- she wouldn't, unless prompted. "Thank you," She said, her voice breathy with earnestness.

She looked over to Naira again, who'd taken that moment to appreciate the view. And against the dramatic backdrop of the wild country, she looked even more the queen now than she had at the meeting when she had commanded the attention of all the wolves present, and whose presence had been that of a calm, assertive leader. Now, though, she showed compassion for a packmate and concern for their wellbeing. Despite the fact that she was in the early stages of her pregnancy, she had given up a meal for Sagacity, though she knew that if their positions had been reversed, she would have done the same.

Naira's next question caused Sagacity to bristle slightly, especially when she trailed off at the end. It led her to believe that Rhysis had not told her much about her return...That he had not told her the extent of the damage done, nor had he told her what she'd discovered while on her scouting trip. For this, however, she was grateful and felt relieved. Dear Rhysis, who had kept the truth to himself to spare her the agony of being looked down upon by the alpha female. It was likely also for his own protection as well, as she'd told him of her miscarriage and that wouldn't have gone over well with Naira at all as Rhysis would have been the most likely father.

Sagacity's tense nature now, however, might have been somewhat indicative of the torture endured. Physically she was not terribly hurt, at least, not injured in a way which could be seen. The bite marks around the scruff of her neck were the most prominent, as well as the smaller ones just behind her ears and around her shoulders which had already healed fairly well. But Sagacity wouldn't have felt so tense had those injuries been linked to those injuries alone- knowing, however, that those injuries had been sustained during a much more violent act made her hesitate before she responded. She had to keep her composure.

When she spoke, she struggled to keep her voice from being too flat. "I saw no trace of rabid animals anywhere," She said. "Nor did I hear from any I met about it; I hope that this means it has passed." She admitted. She relaxed a bit more, having given some good news. And she was talking about things unrelated to her attack, which soothed the woman's nerves slightly. "I tracked a few herds of deer as well; there seem to be quite a few does who are carrying young, I expect that it will be a good season for picking fawns." She said with a nod, referring to one of the easiest prey to catch. "Many of them seem drawn to the Northern part of Relic Lore; perhaps that is where they feel it is safest to give birth." She said. "I had intended to scope that area out and see how many packs were in that area-" She said, and cut off suddenly. But she hadn't been able to. "I intend to continue my mission when I am better, though," She said, pausing. "I will make sure to be available for you." She said, glancing to Naira again. This time it was with a look of warmth, though she could not help but feel envious. "Congratulations," She said, lifting her head to lick Naira's lower jaw. "I will do whatever I can for you and your family."
