The sable female watched the young girl with careful eyes, she seemed nice enough and as she was a member of Cour des Miracles so in Soran's eyes she could be trusted. The dark female reached out a hand and took the flute from the young half coyote, she turned the silver tube over and over in her hand as she watched the young girl, smiling at her a little as she did so. The dark female smiled at the younger girl, the idea of travelling with her would have been more than pleasant, yes indeed, it sounded like it would be very nice indeed, it seemed that the coywolf would be a very good guide for the area around Cour des Miracles and Soran wanted to explore those areas more, especially now that her great granddaughter was warming to her, she wanted to know the lands better so that she could find faster routes to go and see her family. The sable Aedile lover her grandson and her great grandchildren dearly and anything that might allow her to be closer to them would be wonderful. She smiled as the young female said that she would like to travel in the Winter, that she didn't want to leave her pack until she was certain that they would be ready for the upcoming icy month. Soran had lived through many winters, both here and in other lands, she knew what was coming, times would be hard and they would also be very cold, the Nova Scotian winters were usually quite harsh, apparently there had been a fierce snowstorm last year, Soran wondered if the young female had seen a winter like it, she wondered if she would be ready for what was coming. The ebony Aedile was pleased that the smaller female seemed to care so deeply about her pack, wanting to make sure that the pack would be ready for the winter before she went on any trip. The truth was that the pair of wolves would be away for some time if they were to make a proper tour of the northern lands, it was a long walk to get there after all, let alone the time that they might spend visiting other packs and potentially making friends.
"That sounds like a very good plan, it will be a long walk to the northern packs, several days at least, we can make a proper tour of it. So it will perhaps be sensible to make sure that the packs would be ready for the winter before we go, yes, that will be for the best." The ebony female replied, thinking over her own pack, yes she would need to make sure that they were ready for the harsh winter before she left. She had responsibilities after all, she needed to look after them.
She smiled at the younger girl again then, she seemed like a kind and thoughtful soul, Soran had to admit that she was looking forward to their little outing, she could imagine that this girl would be a rather wonderful travelling companion. She listened as the girl told her tale about why she had left her old pack, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in her voice, it all seemed a shame, Soran knew what it was like to be shunned for having something no one else did, for the dark female it had been her ebony pelt, it seemed that sometimes the wondrous gift of shifting could also be a curse.
"I see, that sounds like it must have been very hard for you. Did you have no idea that you had Luperci blood then? Was your pack very traditional, fighting for ranks and the like?" The ebony pelted female asked, her tone was very soft, she felt bad for this poor girl, it seemed that they had a lot in common, if only it had been something happier rather than something which had caused so much sorrow. The Alpha of Soran's birth pack, her father had been a psychotic, he hated all those who had a black pelt, when Soran had been born her had killed her mother simply for carrying her in her womb, he had attempted to end the Aedile's own life time and time again. Luckily he had failed, but even though he was now dead, even though the sable female was safe from his tyranny, his evil, the burden of the lies he had told her all of her life; his hatred for her had followed her for many years. It had not been long since the sable female had realised that she was not the evil, vile creature that he claimed she had been. It had taken her a long time, but finally she was free of his burden and she was happier than she had been in a long time.
