Alyssum watched the sky drift to a lighter color, the darkness seeping down the western horizon. The young female thought, with not many creatures stirring besides themselves, the dawn was peaceful and relaxing, though it was still colder than what she was used to. She felt tiredness tugging at the back of her mind, since she slept only but a couple of hours last night, but she pushed the groggy thoughts away with a short rub of her eyes. "I'm up for a patrol,"she piped up, straighting up from her slightly crouching stance. She never went beyond the northern parts of Nod, so this territory was interesting and new to her.
She wondered who Razekiel was when Silas mentioned him, having to yet hear of him. It was strange to her that one was living not in the caves or the mansion, but she guessed everyone had their preferences. Alyssum fell in line behind Sepirah, nodding in agreement to the jackal-hybrid's statement about leading them; since he seemed to be familiar with the borders, she felt that Silas should lead the patrol. Though she was still new to the pack, little over a week and a half, she was getting into the routine of things, adapting to the foreign environments at a quick rate. Maybe in no time at all it will be as if she had been here for years.
"So, you patrol the borders often?"she asked Silas, her voice sorta standoffish but it was confident for the most part; it was difficult for Alyssum to strike up small talk because she didn't meet many people once she was exiled from her old pack. "Is your rank the..." The coyote thought over for a moment what ranks there were, looking through her memory for the right one, and continued with her sentence,"the Vigiles?" She knew only a few things about Latin, but she guessed that the rank did make sense, since it sounded like 'vigilant', which a watchman would have to be.
