[She glances around, baring her teeth. She isn't used to the scent of this place. Honestly, she doesn't even know where she is. She searches the room but there's nothing that gives her a clue. She spots a journal on the table next to her bed and flips it open curiously. The pages are unfamiliar, although she recognizes what it is meant for. There are buttons and she presses one to see what will happen. Her voice is low and lilting with an odd roughness to it.]

This is different from the journals I've seen. I'm not sure what it is. I can feel in my bones that the pack isn't here. It feels horrible. I've lost so many families.

[She lets out a low whine and sighs.]

But I suppose I'll have to deal with it. Pain is temporary and when your habitat changes, you have to adapt or die. I've gotten through it before and I will again. I'll scour every inch of this place and memorize it head to toe. I will know every rock and tree and blade of grass. It's hunt or be hunted; kill or be killed.

[There was a moment of silence before she spoke again.]

This is a game I intend to win.

I'm afraid I don't take your meaning.

[Her voice was slightly confused and she hated sounding stupid.]

Having to adapt to a new place, leave everything behind, stuff like that.

Ah. Sorry your life turned out that way as well.
It can't be helped, though. The best can do is work with it.

Its not all bad.

So, by the sounds of it, you're new around here. Welcome to the keep.

Maybe not.

You're correct. Thanks for the welcome.
How long you been here?

A few months, which isn't as long as some others.

It's odd how they bring us in at so many different times. I still don't quite understand but I suppose no one ever really will.

No one has a found an answer for that yet, others deny that thought.

There's no use in denying it since we're here but it's their choice.
You seem to be one who would entertain the thought.

Maybe, but you don't know me.

I'd like to.
From what I've seen so far, it seems as though we'd get along. You're willing to prove me wrong, though.

How do you assume that we will? Do tell me.

Can people not just have assumptions?
It'd be more fun if we actually did get along and we could laugh at your incredulity. This is, of course, a hypothetical situation.

There isn't anything wrong with that, although it wouldn't be a surprise if someone here had the ability to see the future or telepathy.

Is that sarcasm or are you just mocking me?

Neither! That was a hypothetical situation. (This isn't mocking either.)

I have trouble explaining things when it comes to people. You seem to have an interesting personality from what I've seen and we've got a few things in common. Is that enough?

Of course and I was teasing.

I think that's the first time I've heard that. As for that being enough? I might have to think about it a bit more.

Oh well I feel a bit foolish now. I'll claim that not being raised by humans was a factor.

I don't think it's ever been so difficult befriending someone. What else do I need? A blood oath?

Its all right. We all make mistakes.

Nothing else and that's not required.

Yeah, yeah.

Well think! I'm bored and I need a friend.

So eager. Didn't you say you were going to search the grounds?

Of course, you seem SPLENDID. (That may be slightly mocking.)

I may be. I really should get to that, shouldn't I?

With all these compliments, you sound like you're trying to flirt with me.

Perhaps it would be for the best. Unless this is an indirect way of asking for a guide.

I may be...

Or I may really need a guide.
I suppose you'll need to find out!

I think that was intentional.

I take it you're in the barracks?

Never!

I assume that's where I am. You're most likely correct.
