The wolfdog looked out east, a seemingly puzzled look on her face. Were the directions too confusing to her? Perhaps. Element knew from the way the sun rose and set the cardinal directions, and had ever since he was a kitten. It was simple...knowledge. Common knowledge, even. But perhaps his rather eloquent way of speaking had confused the poor dog, and he gave her a sympathetic look. Wherever she had come from, it clearly could not have been a place with many civilized wolves - if any at all. She didn't know what he was saying, she has almost no grasp on proper grammar, and she hallucinated - which Element didn't think came with dwelling with others. Still, he hoped that she had grasped enough of his instruction to be able to reach the friendly packs, and hoped that she didn't stray too close to the Inferni - the Inferni who wouldn't like to see a dog on their borders. The Inferni, however, did have a rather obvious warning on their borders - the spiked skulls of wolves would be incredible hard to ignore if she did wander that way.
She snapped Element out of his reverie when she said, 'okay' and began to walk towards the eastern destination. Element was a little taken aback - she was going to start now, when the moon was out and the night was upon them? But then again, it seemed not. Without a further warning, she flopped down on her side and looked to the moon as though she were giving him an explanation without saying anything at all - and Element understood. This poor pup was just too tired to continue on, and Element could relate to that. He himself was rather tired, and he didn't want to linger on.
But what about the girl? She seemed so weak and almost like she would be unable to fend for herself for so long. Element was reluctant to leave her, but he knew he had to be going - but...it seemed so wrong to leave her, so strange that he should go away now. He silently vowed to himself that he would stay near the area - if this wolfdog ever needed help, he would be able to come to her rescue. He was slightly startled at this newfound feeling of protection he felt he had to give to her, but knew that he couldn't simply leave her. It wouldn't be moral, it just simply wouldn't be right in his eyes.
He looked at her with his brilliant green eyes. "Well," he said slowly, "I'll most likely be around. If you ever need help...just ask, and I'm sure any wolves around here would be delighted to give you some." Not entirely sure she understood him, he waited for some sort of acknowledgment from her that she had. He didn't feel like he should leave even now, but knew that if she depended on him, things would be harder for both of them. A single cat couldn't hunt for himself and an almost grown wolf - it would be impossible. It would be better if she learned how to be on her own, in case the other packs didn't accept her. Still, he waited for her to say something - if she was awake at all.
