ooc;; apologies for the wait eary! a few more rounds and she'll be titled up and accepted!
Green eyes thought he saw a flash of pain in the white wolfdogs expression but it was gone too quick for him to really analyse it. Saul gave a soft smile of encouragement as she collected her thoughts. His own past was a little jumbled and it would take a moment for him to really collect everything together to give a concise account of where he'd come from and how he'd ended up here. Fortunately he'd passed out from exhaustion and hunger on the borders and his Aunt Bris had found him- he hadnt needed to explain what had happened to him. Of course, Aunt Bris knew where he'd come from and everything, but not why he'd turned up at Dahlia nearly starved to death and unable to keep his eyes open. This female obviously had no family here to take her in, no questions asked. So he had to ask them for the sake of the pack and for his own curiosity.
Of course, he wasnt expecting the vague details he'd got. It was enough of a story for Saul to believe, she had been with a loving family and a rival had attacked. It was simple and easy to remember. Perhaps a little too easy. But Saul let it slide, allowing her the benefit of the doubt. If there was something in her past too painful to speak about to a stranger, then so be it. His next question might be a little easier for her to answer, if his asking about her past was too painful or anything of the sort. Saul allowed a soft tail wag to lighten the mood as he continued.
"I'm sorry about your family Delilah... I don't mean to move on so swiftly, but there's not much point in standing around. What can you contribute to Dahlia? What skills do you have that will make you an assett to this pack? We appear to be in need of them!"
He tried not to mention the direness of the life in Dahlia at the moment. With fewer numbers there were less people to patrol the borders and to hunt. He hoped that they would be able to build themselves back up, hoped they would be as great as they used to be again.
