The girl shifted lightly on her paws, still determined that he will not be using any special pronouns like princess to describe her. It just wasn’t how her family was, not when they were truly the protectors of the pack and she believed very firmly that it was the case. Guardians, that was what they were. Though they were of Nahutal blood maybe like the angel’s and demons she would have her own line of protectors, ones that didn’t side with good or bad but just tried to protect all. A dream, it was her father’s dream, and one she too hoped to carry on. Perhaps it would never happen, but if someone wanted it why not try? Taviora clearly was a working pack, allies with all lands and maintaining that peace, even with Iromar. She wanted to make that clear though that she was a friend first and princess last.

She smiled as he accepted calling her Zelly. Even if it was simply out of simply wishing to please her or whatever she was happy when he agreed that he would simply call her Zelly. A name mostly her family and closer family friends called her, but still she was happy to have him call her that as well. It was strange hearing someone not family call her it, but really she didn’t want him to be so formal. She liked him and wanted to be his friend so it was only right that he call her a less formal name. Plus ‘Princess Zelly’ didn’t exactly sound serious either, but as he smiled she flushed lightly beneath her russet, dark brown and white fur, not exactly sure why but that smile on his face was just so, strange, but in a good way.

What was more was after that he offered his own nick name. ”Lu, it’s a cute name.” She said with a giggle, she did like it, if not for the fact it was a cute name. ”Okay, Lu!”” She said her tail giving a wave above her back lightly a light bounce on her paws shortly following. She was happy she got to call him a shortened more friendly name too and she was quite happy to be able to call him that, though Lucero certainly was a strong name for a boy such as himself as well. It took her a while to notice though that he was turning his head so that most the time only one eye was set upon her, looking over her closely and she wondered if it was just a strange mannerism he had as both of his eyes looked fairly normal in the dark. However she was distracted from this from his story of a wolf who she knew all to well.

”Tobias, I have heard of him. He has a family?” She couldn’t ponder why a female wanted to be with him, but apparently they traveled together and she didn’t have a name? Perhaps she did but she did well to keep it a secret perhaps. Always though Zeltzin had thought he was a lone wolf, but if he had a family why would he do such terrible things? Didn’t he worry he would get killed and then his family would never see him again? Didn’t that idea make him sad? Perhaps he didn’t think like normal wolves, really, he attacked Holo after all and hurt him really bad and was run out, then he was run out again while trying to hurt Vidar and hurt her daddy instead. She didn’t like him. His kind was what her family would protect against.

He was completely honest and she was really happy for that. She wasn’t some weak girl that couldn’t fend for herself! Plus what could would it do her to have it hidden away from her? If anything being naïve of what was really out here in the free lands would put her in more danger. ”Sounds bad then. But surely not always it is that bad if you have yet to be bothered by them. That or if just more of it goes unheard. I guess it’s a good reason to learn to defend myself though.” She mused slightly though she had wanted to before, and she knew basics she wanted to know more. Her father didn’t want her to be harmed but what if him or his brothers weren’t there to protect her? What then? She would be doomed. She would argue that case until he would train her himself or have someone teach her. Ironically Taviora was lacking in professional warriors since Lady Kiska and Jago had begun to wander.


”It’s far safer I think to be in a pack, but Tobias has come twice and harmed wolves… he tore my elder half bothers leg clean off… he is lucky to have lived. Then attacked again but daddy and some wolves of Diveen were around they stopped him. Tobias is a very bad wolf, I don’t understand why he attacked my half brother or tried to hurt a wolf in our pack. But since that day he hasn’t tried to come back.” She said with a note of finality. ”Might be scared since so many were there to stop him the second time. I would be.” She said shifting on her paws. She didn’t understand Tobias, not in the slightest. It was beyond her that he was even still alive when so many wanted him dead. All of Diveen and Taviora wanted him under control as well. Was he that elusive?
