Her muzzle wrinkled in response to some old lady telling people how to find the Odessa pack, and Sam hoped the woman was being intensely discriminating about those she shared such information with. A trip into town would be needed to make sure the old crone wasn't going to be a problem, Sam supposed.  She had a few other items to obtain, anyway, and knew there were several other wolves who probably would mind heading down for a day on the town. 

[I]A new werewolf, then,[/i] she pondered with some surprise. He hadn't been too interested in devouring the dead werewolves, which Sam thought was fairly impressive – newer werewolves were perhaps the most bestial in nature, giving way to the wolf in a more complete manner in those first few months. It had been a scary time for Sam, but that might have been due to the enclosure she'd been kept in by her initial and temporary self-made Ulfric. A shake moved down the dark wolf's body as she jarred herself to the present, refocusing on James.

[color=8493ca][i]You are a werewolf, so I think you should get used to hunters and their legacy of slaughter,[/i][/color] she recommended seriously, not following his glance to the blood splatters behind her. [color=8493ca][I]As well as learn how to avoid them,[/i][/color] Sam added as an afterthought.

Standing back on all fours, Sam paced a few feet from James. [color=8493ca][i]Speaking of hunters, perhaps we should head back – while I don't mind a good fight, I'd rather do it on my own terms. You have seen the Ulfric of the Odessa pack, and I am the Geri. You are welcome to stay so long as you offer no harm... and have some use,[/i][/color] she added, thinking some of the werewolves were basically overgrown children. [color=8493ca][I]Providing, of course, the Ulfric doesn't say otherwise.[/i][/color]

She suddenly turned tail and leapt several feet forward, blurring past the blood and reaching Markus' path of departure. [color=8493ca][i]Follow me, James, and spill any beans you have on the way.[/i][/color] Despite the mild tone Sam used, there was a sharp, cunning mind judging the other wolf.
