My head is inclined in a node in this moment as his question as to our fare during the winter in which he had been away, his tail waving in pleasure and indeed this is a pleasing thing to my mind also- for always a wolf should be happy to return to his home, to show joy and pleasure in the lands he calls his own and it pleases me that Maddox is so content in the lands he calls his own. To know the wolves whom reside with us are happy and prideful in our lands is meaningful to myself and though even as it is I have….begun to age perhaps and more and more often I am resigned to the thoughts that in the coming months it may well be time for Achilles to take my place and allow my Kane and I to retire I am still given to find delight in the knowledge that my wolves are safe, content, happy and that this is the place they should choose to raise their children. The words of my Kane are met with a smile most delicate upon the snow of my lips, nodding in assurance as he spoke of the pups born to our lands this winter and though I was yet to see them and indeed feared perhaps that Stella had no desire to allow them to be so involved- but that is a choice her own and in time I will speak to her of it. Her and Elijah both.

It is as he begins to speak of that which he has seen in his travels that my mind is made further alert, ears pricked forward in curiosity now, features poised with open interest now for truly I did desire to hear of his tales, I did seek to know what had become of the world outside the pack I did not often leave, though surely this is to my own peril to become so accustomed only to one land. If we should ever lose it one day I would be quite at a loss though I know well that the mountains of Spirane and forests of Taviora will well welcome us with open arms and to provide a safe haven. It is indeed Taviora of which he speaks first, head tilted now as I listen before my thickened plume of a tail is given wave at the mention of Moth- a creature most respected amongest us and one I knew was most….dearly loved by Heyel. They had been close and remained so, he spoke of her often and forever held pride to his tone when he did and to know she still lived was a pleasing thing, her age as grand as Heyel’s own. The mention of children is a pleasing thing, my lips pulled into a grin once more.

“Astrid is mate of Zaphkiel, son of brother Azrael. It pleases me to know he had become a grandfather again, he and Andromeda are most deserving of these pleasures. My Kane and I have also been most proud to meet Shiloh and her company- we is being very pleased at this match, isn’t we my Kane?”

I nodded my assurance, not truly giving him a chance to disagree even if he sought it so (which he didn’t I am sure) tail waving once more in this knowledge of the growth of the forest pack. I should visit again, perhaps in the autumn, for I have long valued the friendship of my Coza and I should like to meet this….Siren my Solaris has found, the name unfamiliar in this moment. As for this Dexter….I am not hearing of this, ears flattening slightly with a look of beamusment. Does Calliel not seek to tell us of her….companion? Perhaps she is being most afraid I am asking her about engagements as I is doing with Shiloh. I is not knowing meaning of engagements at first and I am thinking perhaps it is not being all my fault. It is the mention of Moth however and her failing health that so see my eyes meet my Kane’s as he too, turns to myself. Perhaps trip is needed sooner rather then that which is being later, head nodded in agreement unspoken in this moment.

“I will tell Heyel.”

The words are soft and gentle as they part my lips in this moment most solemn, a silence of sorts given to reside between us for Moth- whom has long been a friend most treasured. Though perhaps…even Heyel was too aged to make this journey himself now. We would see.

“It pleases me to hear this of Spirane, Sister Daenarys is deserving of such things.”

I was assured of this, for she was a leader most respectable and most deserving of a pack that flourished. The mountain has forever been a powerful pack, a worthy pack and one whose history is deserving of it’s rightful blood owners now that the threat of Purge had been removed at our paws. Forever I would be grateful for her assistance in this and the alliance long held between us. His mention of Iromar next is one that indeed is given to hold my attention- our relations for so long with the pack of the swamp have been…displeasing and speak only of my failings as Queen I am assured. Even Heyel in his actions had not brought Trenus to war and yet….I could not prevent Diveen from this failing, a mark against myself, a wound that does not heal though I conceal it most well. I had wondered often what had become of Andras though perhaps I was given to….sin in my pleasure at his departure from the throne, to take solace in his misfortune and perhaps even so I am not wholly….upset to hear of the death of Lilith for she was a creature most spiteful. That Andras has become a danger however is a thing most noteworthy indeed, information most valued and I aim to act upon it this very evening. The violet of my gaze moved to meet my Kane’s own once more, another silent agreement that I will seek to move upon this information most valued though perhaps a trip to Iromar too is needed to speak with this Aithne- the one and only Leader of Iromar whom had been bold enough to seek to end the senseless persecution of my own pack. I pleasing thing.

“I will speak with our warriors and with Calliel and her assassins in about this Andras.”

It was the ideas he brought now to my mind that so further engaged my attention and chased away the thoughts less pleasing as my shoulder rested against that of my Kane in symbol of shared unity in this, my lips pulled into a smile most delicate and yet pleasing nonetheless as the thickness of my fur shown within the sun this day and Angel mark gleamed aglow beside the shine of my Kane, my boy with eyes of sun and sky before the violet of my own gaze, all flecked with emerald, rested upon Maddox once more.

“My Maddox, I is being most pleased with you this day, most pleased- you is talking very much but I is meaning this in way most good. My Kane and I will speak of all you is telling us and speak also to Ambrosia before we is returning to you with our thoughts. For now however I is giving you leave to be doing as you desire in this, to act upon your decisions and see them through, though we is helping you if you is needing it- for I is agreeing with your judgement my Maddox and unless my Kane is thinking otherwise I is asking indeed that you act upon your decisions and do as you have suggested for our packs for I am trusting in your judgement most well.”
