There was a moment where Ariel didn't visibly respond to Meesei, save for a thoughtful hum. At first Ariel believed that it was just because she and Meesei were people with different preferences, but her thoughts went to why she opted for the city in the first place. "Well, Meesei, I guess I didn't really have anywhere else to go after I was banished from the coven. I was partly familiar with Vos, and I already had holdings there when I was cast out. It was an opportunity I made out of..." she paused to rub the back of her neck, "... well, it was a rough time for me back then. Even though I understood that I would be banished, it didn't make it any easier to leave." Her face brightened slightly, "On the other hand, I got to continue doing what I enjoyed for a living; alchemy. And helping people in the process was rewarding." She raised a palm while she walked, "I suppose I could have lived in the wilds, or tried to travel elsewhere if I had given it more consideration." She lowered her hand and shook her head slowly, "I'm not sure that suits me though. Travelling alone, that is. I like being with company, you know?" Ariel gestured to Meesei and took on a matter-of-fact tone, "You have things different. You have a group of friends and family travelling with you. And from what I gather, it was a life that you took on by choice." Ariel looked ahead again and her tone became a little more resigned, "Other than that, I don't know. I'm not a thrill seeker, or a hero, or a warrior, or anything like that. Call me dull, but I don't mind it."

Ariel's eyes wandered down to the road and she lifted one corner of her mouth idly. Even though she admired much in the members of the pack, she was definitely a different person. With a cautious curiosity, Ariel glanced sideways at Meesei, "Do you ever miss your old home?"
