Meridith shook her head. She could feel the tension rising and she didn't enjoy the feeling of it. The elf was even pissing off the wolf. She didn't know what Alyna said, but surely she knew not to insult the wolf's companion. She finished her bit of stew smiling. "Canis is welcome to as much as he wants." She looked up at the trees, wanting to tie herself in one for the night as she had on the rare occasions her and her dad were caught out of town, but she also wanted to show trust in her new companions. She served herself another bowl, eating only half of it before becoming full and setting the rest down for the wolf, filling it the rest of the way for him. If anyone, she wanted the wolf to stand her. Animals had always liked her, and him not snapping at her as she expected was a good sign. "So why are you two out here anyways and traveling alone?" It was odd to see travelers alone, not that she was one to talk. But where she was going, the caravan wouldn't take her. So alone she traveled. Hopefully capable of defending herself. But the other two... well at least it would make good conversation she hoped.
