She was open and kind and enthusiastic; always good things to have in a friend. She smiled shyly at the female’s offer, waiting for the alpha’s verdict.

It hadn't occurred to her at the time to be as cautious as she should have been, obviously. At the mention of the squirrels she turned to grin curiously at the white wolf. "Aye, so care to explain about the squirrels?" She asked as Phoenix turned to leave. She had developed a taste for them at home, where they were abundant prey, but she was sure she could wean herself off them.
