It had turned out to be a lazy day for the feral family of five - soon to be seven - but Bel didn't much mind that. Although her energy level had bounced back ten-fold she still was sore on her right shoulder where the cougar had managed to land a swipe. She couldn't say that it upset her at all, after all it proved to be one hell of a time with Exodus, plus she got a badass scar out of the ordeal. And still Stella demanded her to receive the rest she needed for a full recovery; it was just all too much for her daughter to show any sign of weakness.

Well today would be different, dammit!

She felt vigor course through her veins and with every passing second that they stay reclined on the sunbathed rocks of the crags her soul died a tiny bit more. That is until the knifelike command from Stella has the girl immediately jumping to her paws. Their dark goddess doesn't seem to be very pleased with their current situation either or maybe she just wanted to get away from Lucian. Adults thought they were always so smart with how deceiving they were and yet Bellatrix was still able to feel the tension between the two, whether it was double-sided or not.

But none of that was of her concern. As Asterion began to fall in line so did Bel, in a much more rambunctious way. She stretched her growing legs long and far before jolting after them, shoving her brother from the left as she vied for the position behind Stella.

Nearly bouncing all the way, the girl was sure to have set off a few tempers as she went; but all of the 'resting' that she was forced to take had now left her simply filled to the brim with boundless energy! Even as Asterion panted and sulked as they approached the lake she could hardly contain her enthusiasm as she jogged into the shallows. Giant puppy paws splashed ridiculously as she tromped about, only stopping to look Asterion directly in the eye and answer with nothing short of a dead serious tone. "Don't you ever listen!? Tobias is the uncle who eats babies!" Perhaps its the phase of puppy emotions she is working through or the attentions she's received from Exodus but anything Bel says now would come out as nothing short of innocent.

The weight that her words carry does not dawn upon the girl - why would she ever be afraid of something Stella is willing to show to her? After all, they are the terrible trifecta of hell, capable of overcoming anything. She just faced a mountain lion a few days ago for fucks sake! Her assuredness of the lack of dangers in the world and self-confidence is a fractured reality. But she will learn someday.
