A low rank. Why so defensive of the pack lands, then? Eliza's response to Sofia's trespassing seemed like overkill if she was just a new member. And the scent hung too heavy on the white form for her to be super new anyway. Why a low rank, if you'd been a member for a while? Pack members tended to shift so fluidly that in Sofia's experience, in most cases seniority translated directly to rank. If Eliza was this formal and in line with the rules all the time, why hadn't she risen in the ranks yet? She was half-tempted to press her, knowing full well that it would almost definitely annoy her to be questioned on her low rank. But that seemed interesting.
Eliza's response to Sofia not finding her pack, though, stopped the hybrid. It seemed like some defense dropped, for a moment, and she seemed less formal and more.. fragile? It was strange, and momentary, accompanied by a mumbled comment about how she was sorry Sofi had never found Storm. Strange, she had clearly touched some nerve, but as Eliza hadn't said anything indicating what that nerve was, she had little footing to continue along that path. Or at least with any sort of social tact. She could just blatantly acknowledge the moment that was clearly awkward for Eliza and intended to be overlooked, but, meh.
"I'm mostly just exploring the lands at the moment, there are some really pretty neutral territories around here. You should get out and look around, especially if you don't know the lands much. I might join a pack in a while, but not yet." She shrugged, treating the idea with apathy. Honestly, Sofia was looking forward to having a home again, but the problem was when it came time to find a home it was going to be getting closer to the end. Sofi had to do the traveling first, the exploring while she still could.
