"You don’t have to leave, but it would be unwise for you to wander any further in without an escort."
An escort? Element thought in his mind of an escort as someone who showed you around, showed you the ropes of the place. Although he was lingering in the Dahlia de Mai territory, he didn't want to wander, escort or no escort, deeper into any territory with canines. They may not be friendly, and Element was certainly no fool.
The small girl spoke again. ""I can show you around, or take you to the borders."" This was a fair question, and Element pondered it. He didn't stray into the wolf's territories any more than he had to, and he didn't see any reason to take a tour around town. He didn't want to seem like he was keeping a permanent residence, or like he was trying to spy, like some may assume.
"I don't need a tour," he said carefully, "And if you could perhaps show me to the edge of the territory, I would appreciate it." Element was not one for losing his touch of words, but right now, he did not know quite what to say; the puppy seemed excited enough to meet a new person, but still a bit torn between her loyalty to her pack and her friendly demeanor. He figured it would be best if he allowed her to lead him away from the pack, giving her an out in both ways.
