If she had faith in herself it was only because the wolves around her gave her it. She was unsure with every step, but always wolves like Hyrule, Alexander, Eloah, Astraea, her grandfather, uncle Amoxtli, and Mother believed in her her choices. Really this wasn’t easy, it was far from. She wondered how wolves who ruled were so confident in her choices. Perhaps she was still just new at this, untried in everything she did so each thing was new to her. Even a puppy was unsteady when taking its first steps, saying its first words. They had to learn to do those things and she had to learn to be a leader without the crutch of Hyrule at her side. Fighting even was something she had to learn, all leaders had their trials someday, even the kindest and gentlest like her Grandfather. Thankfully she had just the wolf here teaching her how to fight now, and even that was clumsy… but she was getting better with each lesson from Tithe, and she rewarded him with the rank of Power for his patience with his new leader and for protecting Teza recently from one of those mad beasts out at night.

She was doing what she could to make sure she could protect and serve Taviora properly as its new Guardian. It was just taking time, not many could simply fall in the shoes of leader like Hyrule, she knew that when she first asked him to be leader and Taviora sprung to life after Amoxtli was poisoned that just some wolves had that innate ability to lead. Zelda didn’t think she had that, but she had enough time beside Hyrule and now with everyone else that she thought she was slowly but surely getting there, to be the Goddess Taviora deserved. She was surprised though when Dexter seemed to agree with her without any reaction at all. It seemed she and her uncle might be of the same mind, at least in this instance. She wasn’t sure she had vague memories of his personality and he was always quiet compared to her mother. Still it brought a smile to her maw, she knew others thought she did the right thing too, it was just strange perhaps to see that reaction come so easily to someone sired by her grandfather.

He praised her further by saying she went with her instincts, and she did somewhat. If Dexter had never met Aranck know he wouldn’t ever fully know the monster that she met. How he so easily dismissed the death of her sister, how he denied any wrongdoing then said she would do the same. What type of creature thought like that? She could almost understand Tobias in comparison to that male. Though she didn’t want others to believe that she acted out on Aranck due to his one transgression… just because you did one bad thing didn’t mean you were bad. Aranck though… he was not someone she could let continue to cast the world in his shadow.

She perked though when he said in reply. It was similar to how she spoke, thought, about many things. She wondered then if he could feel it too. Just feel when a wolf was ‘bad’ and not right for the world. Did he too see the dark clouds floating over them? Did he feel the immense good that came from those like her grandfather? She thought maybe she should ask but there were more pressing matters than wondering if he could see these imaginary things or feelings. Instead she wanted to launch to the matter of why she really wanted to meet him and explain to him what was going on.

He seemed to latch to her every word. It was testament perhaps to how much he wanted to do this. He wanted so strongly to see that the situation, what was more he seemed to understand why this wasn’t just something they could rush into. She was so anxious on this matter, she wanted to help but really, this was probably best handled with a small party. She wasn’t sure if she could confront Eden with this matter like she had with Aranck. It was delicate and she didn’t think sending a giant party like she had done with Aranck was the right way to handle things with him. For a start she didn’t worry about him hurting anyone. She didn’t know why she trusted him in that, but he seemed far more reasonable about things than Aranck had been. At the very least he could be reasoned with for a start. She trusted Alistair with the help of Dexter would be able to solve this. And he seemed to be happy to do whatever he could to handle the matter discreetly.

She gave a large sigh of relief at his words. ”Thank you so much uncle Dexter, you don’t know how much it means to me to have your help. To know that you feel as I do and we can figure this out together if no one else will.” She rushed to give her uncle a hug snuggling into him extra good before stepping back and giving a few waves of her tail. Her youth, and perhaps a bit of her immaturity were showing through but she was a young wolf, and Dexter was family and she was so overjoyed to know he understood her every reason for wanting things done this way. She just hoped they wouldn’t get into to much trouble themselves, but the two wolves she was certain would be fine.

”Just let me know if you or Alistair need anymore help. I am just a call away if anything comes up and I will do my best to help. I know you will do whatever you can and I know you will do your best… whatever comes to be, I won’t be angry. It will be what it will be. Eden, if he is hiding something from us, brought this upon himself the moment he chose not to just approach us about it.” She said giving a few reassuring nods though it was more like she was reassuring herself and that these choices were right rather than confidently believing it. ”Thank you.” She said one last time knowing that as eager as he was he wasn’t likely to be around much longer.
