I loved feeling his emotions. I know he doesn’t really understand showing them, or his voice doesn’t do well to give in to the certain cues and sounds most others could hear. It brings me joy to feel him be happy to say my name, to greet me and see me here with him. It is like a light in the darkness for me and my own being soars with him. I do not mind that he is shorter than me at all. I am honestly taller than a lot of wolves. So as he is used to being shorter, I the opposite, we cannot help what genetics had been chosen for us. We still fit together though of that I am certain. My russet-brown tail waves lightly behind me, my eyes focused upon the white of his own. They are so unique and different, all of him truly is.

He’s so overjoyed when I tell him he should come more often. He gives a swift reply one that makes a huge smile cross my heart masked face. ”I could go visit you too, if you thought that I’d be allowed.” I say knowing that since Daenerys’ fall and rise again Taviora has undergone some changes eliminating our long time alliance between one another. Maybe I could help or Alistair could help rebuild the bonds between the mountains and forest again. That would ensure her eligibility to visit Alistair whenever it was she pleased. Regardless of all of that his humor was appreciated in the situation. Things had been changing for both of their homes, and she was sure it was hard for him too. After all if rumors were anything to go on, the sudden change in alphaship had come when Amoxtli fallen suddenly ill.

I snap my mind away though it’s not right of me to pry and ask yet at least. I bring up his path of diplomacy hoping that maybe we could start something. I don’t know what yet but I want to build the relationship between the mountain and forest back up again and Alistair being Taviora’s diplomat or a diplomat for them would make that possible. I am hardly a diplomat myself I had no formal training at all, but I know I want to try and do everything I can. It was then that Alistair launched into an explanation about Hyrule, his position, what happened to Amoxtli. An… assassination attempt? My jaw drops, what has Taviora in all these years ever done to make anyone angry? They have always been peaceful and helpful when other packs asked. ”That is horrible. I heard he got sick but… poisoned?”

I am truly shocked, was there someone out there running around trying to kill alphas? Was my aunt in danger? How did they do it. I wanted to have him elaborate but at the same time I didn’t really want to pry in further. Perhaps Taviora had done things no one knew, made the wrong wolves angry somehow? There had been a challenge before Amoxtli had fallen ill maybe a year or so before? I remember the calls echoing over the mountain, but Amoxtli had won. Was his challenger, or his challenger’s family angry for his victory?

Alistair as always was curious about me though. I am still wrapping my mind around such things but when he asks me what it is I am inclined to do I know I honestly have no answer. ”I am curious about all things… My body asks me to be a warrior. My gentle nature a healer. My curiosity a diplomat…. I want to be all things I want to learn all these things, but mostly I want to make my family proud.” I pause for a second looking at him questioningly. ”When did you know what you were, Alistair? Should I know by now?”
