She wasn’t sure what to think of this. Eden’s even Zelda’s responses to how to react to Aranck were not exactly what she wanted. Eden’s perhaps more gave Zeltzin more reason to decry towards his wishes. Killing Aranck was not the answer, least not in that way. Revenge was something she was taught not to pursue. She was more fiery than her father in most ways, but she still knew the value of life, of forgiveness. She would always forgive but never forget what had happened. After that day with Eden, when he told him of what had happened she wondered if she had made a mistake, misplaced her feelings of love. She did care for him, a lot, but one step closer and she seemed to learn more about more she wasn’t sure she wanted to know. However, when one starts a journey for revenge… perhaps it is best to dig two graves. Aranck had a mate, children, who’s to say someday they might not seek ‘revenge’ as well. Sure one had chosen Taviora to be his home, but what of the others? What of his now widowed mate? Zeltzin didn’t know his relationship with any of them, but assuming it was any level of decent well… was it too hard to imagine the consequences?

Starfall though had come to talk to her and why completely escaped her imagination. She didn’t know that her daughter had sent him to help comfort her. Before she really had a chance to respond and ask why he started speaking again, saying that he was here to see if she was okay, see if there was something she wanted to talk to someone about. He was always a calm wolf, even when she was a pup and spotted him in the forests he just seemed so ethereal. She never had a chance to look at him this closely before, to look at his eyes. They were entrancing, though she didn’t get lost in them just simply noticed for the first time. Her ears fell back though as he mentioned her daughter, thinking maybe she might know what this was about. She didn’t know Zelda had done this, she thought more her father did. Or perhaps it was those special powers he had that her father had mentioned before.

”You don’t have to go, I appreciate your concern but, I am not sure what to say, what to talk about. Not anymore.” Perhaps she did though. She couldn’t really say what she wanted to Zelda, her way of getting back at Aranck had been letting the girl who was chased out take her home back over, sheltering her, perhaps… more reasonable. ”I just don’t know anymore. I feel like a part of me is broken and won’t fix itself. I have learned so much about those closest to me from this and that too is making it harder.”

She put it gently out there, it was more Eden than Zelda, yet her heart still was broken from Moteuh and being gone. ”It’s worse perhaps that everyone just seemed to move on, keep going. Meanwhile I can’t even bring myself to touch her bed… I know she’s gone but I can’t help but hope maybe it was all a mistake. Maybe Tepi was wrong. There was no body and yet I know, based on what Zelda learned that it could be no other than her that was killed.” She knew she was rambling, but he was here to talk right? Here to listen? Everyone else wanted to act, to do something to make her feel better or take her mind off of it. It was impossible though, she just couldn’t let go.
