There was a lot surely going into Pine’s favor now. Many things Zelda didn’t know. She knew that her uncle’s home used to be Iromar, that he even used to own it for a time. Then he gave it back to Aithne, Zelda herself didn’t know why he had done so but now he was happy there and loyal to its former Empress. Surely now that he was king of Asteraia he did not like Aranck either. Pine likely knew him, knew of him and what he was, but Zelda had no way of knowing all her links and all her allies before now. As Zelda spoke Pine listened intently to her words. The smaller, slightly younger girl seemed to smile as Zelda said she wanted to help too. Hope Zelda assumed, hope that she would have a chance to get her home back, not added assurance to further her plans but Zelda would do anything she could to help her. It didn’t matter to the forest goddess though, she just wanted to make sure Aranck would not get away from what he had done.

Zelda’s ears perked a little bit when she said that Orifel and Ceres would be coming home soon. It seemed while she had been staying here she had been planning, plotting. The surprise was clear in the young female’s visage as Pine paused for just a moment, letting her voice trail off. Revenge was never a goal that Coza, Amoxtli and even Zelda would outwardly pursue. A life for a life was not how the world worked, but Aranck had done so much more than take the life of her sister. He had overthrown a land, tossed it into chaos killed the former queen. Pine though snapped Zelda out of her momentary thought though when she touched her nose to her shoulder. She softened her look slightly, in ways they were similar. Small females that no one expected a lot of, but great things came in small packages it seemed.

Pine asked for her friendship, and that was something Zelda could easily give to the multicolored female who had her cousin’s soul. Her tail gave a few waves in that, if that was all she wanted by the end Zelda would hardly keep it from her. ”Then whatever it is you plan, when you succeed, know Taviora will be your ally and we are grateful for you and what you will do for your home of Iromar.” She says bowing her head to Pine. She guessed all she needed to do then was make sure she had the knowledge that Ceres passed on. Assuming her own allies haven’t given it to her already or she didn’t already know.

”My wolves tell me that his den is full of pups currently, five, which was odd. I don’t really seem him as one to accept children that were not his, and I don’t think there have been more than four pups ever born to a litter around here. The den is on the high ground, where it’s most dry at the center of the pack and Ceres wasn’t sure how important this information was, but she said he’s been muttering a lot lately about being cursed?” Maybe that information would mean more to Pine than it did Zelda. To her it just affirmed that he was a bit touched in the mind, that he was crazy and unstable. To Pine maybe it would mean more than that or he was thinking he was insane because Tepi stole his children from him. She didn’t know but time would tell she supposed.
