At Elettra's signal Skana reached for the meat, tearing into the carrion. It was dry and cold, and reminded her of that miserable winter she had spent alone as a scavenging beast, but in this moment the frozen chunk of moose might as well have been from the freshest kill. It was delicious, but even gulping down just a few stringy scraps and nowhere near full, she had to stop as she swallowed back a tide of nausea. Surely, she had just eaten too fast, or the food was too old. She straightened herself, stepping back from the carcass and focusing on the prospective member before them. Slightly distracted by the new discomfort at her stomach, she focused on breathing. Throwing up in front of what could be a new member would probably not go over too well.
Coquina's mention of her set of skills caught Skana's attention, her ears perking up as she listened. While they were in the thick of winter without any hint that there was another side of it, Skana had to believe spring would come. The pack would have to be prepared for it, and having wolves ready and able to take advantage of the return of life to the area would greatly benefit the wolves of the Ridge. Skana caught Elettra's glance, giving a curt nod of approval.
Her gaze remains still on the corpse as she is stuck in thought. Her jaws work the meat, and she swallows the chunks quickly. Having not wanting to take a lot, she licks her maw to indicate satisfaction. Though her stomach still yearned for more, she knew her new family would need to eat as well. "My loyalty will not fade, I promise you both." Her tone was still rather serious. Her gold-brown eyes look upward now to the strained limbs of the willows. She was tired of seeing white all the time. The images of fields of grass and grazing deer began to haunt her mind. How she wished it was spring. She would remain with her new family for what would hopefully be the remainder of her life.
"I was due for a new life." She speaks simply; she is unsure of how Elettra and Skana converse. Through observation she would grow more comfortable. For the moment, though, she spoke in a straight-forward fashion.
