The woman listened with rapt attention as the others spoke. So, it wasn't a rival pack like she had thought. Instead, it had been a sandstorm that drove the inhabitants from their home. For a fleeting moment, the woman felt a sense of envy. That small part of her wished that it had been a natural disaster that drove her and her tribe, her family, from their home, instead of those bastards that dare call themselves a noble pack. She knew exactly why they had done it...because of what she and her family were. They were different than other species, she did not deny that. However, she didn't see it as a bad thing. In fact, her family held themselves in high regard, if not as equals with everything else in this land.

What did stand out to her though, is that these wolves before her did not act surprised at her physical appearance. They did not shy away from her, or look down upon her with disgust and revulsion. Was there hope yet?

"Gemini has taken in refugees before. There is room for anyone and everyone. Anyone who seeks it. The territory is stable, able to support everyone in even the poor seasons."

The dark female nodded, tendriled ears refusing to miss a beat of what the blue female said. It sounded very promising. She didn't really see herself as a refugee, just a loner without a place to call her own. Or maybe she was, considering she was forcefully driven from her home by the enemy. It was either that, or face the abyss that waited on the other side of this life.

"We know what it means to need a helping paw, and so now we offer it. Nobody should have to struggle alone. We're looking for some individuals with particular knowledge. But, we'll take anyone who needs a new home."

Perhaps this was a pack she could get behind, that she could call home. The concept sounded foreign to her now, but she missed it. She needed a place to call home again. She needed to fill that empty void within her soul again.

"Yes, we're.. welcome to take anyone on board who is interested in going back home with us. You're not obligated to stay, of course! You're always welcome to return.. ah.. home.. Well.. the knowledge bit.. the specific knowledge bit can be answered by someone other than myself, as I.. I understand what it is we're looking for, I just can't put it into words, you know?"

The answer to the knowledge question had been aimed at the other female that had arrived, yet Alvita acknowledged it all the same. "Yes, your meaning is clear. I must apologize dat I do not know of what you are looking for, but perhaps I could exchange another kind of knowledge, one having tah do wid my kind." Coal black eyes made a sweep of the wolves from Gemini before continuing. "I do not know what your people call us, if ya even have a name for my kind, us dat look very different from you, but we call ourselves Unieke-een, 'unique ones'." Black eyes narrow slightly before she continued. "We were persecuted for what we are. If you are not dose same wolves, and dat your words ring true, perhaps we can learn from each oder. But, I will not give out information lightly. I must know wheda ya seek tah harm my people furder or not, ya see. I am certain ya unda'stand dat." Her expression and tone became lighter. "From what I have seen dough, ya do not seem like deh type tah bring unnecessary harm tah oders." You could never be too cautious, but she had a good feeling about these wolves and their pack.

"If you're still not sure you want to come back with us, I suggest staying behind. We're.. on a tight schedule, you see? I.. We need to be going back home, and it's quite a trip, but we can chat a bit more on the way, how's that sound? I'll even escort you back here when we're done, unless you choose to stay.. but please.. if you're willing to come along, we'd like to be out of here and back on the road before the sun sets."

The thought of leaving this barren place brought some relief to the dark hued female. This could be the moment she had been waiting for, not only to leave this landscape behind, but to start anew. The woman rose to her feet, nodding toward the three Gemini women. "Thank you. I would like tah join you on your journey back tah Gemini. The land sounds promising, and a pack as gracious as yours tah take in dose in need is even more so."
