Aster's threats are an...annoying thing, truly. Yet, I feel little towards them. She may do as she wishes for she poses little threat so far north. For now, I'll permit her these games and let her experience what it feels like to feel powerful - we'll see, I suppose, in time what she can do with that power. For the time being, I simply do what needs to be done: I have sent word to both Spirane and Iromar and soon, Taviora and Diveen shall follow suit. They will fast know of the Queen's pettiness and childishness and then, they shall judge accordingly. While she sits atop her throne so high and mighty, I will work on digging out a pit beneath her. The fall will be hard...or so I can hope.

I am returning from the borders when I hear her call for me and for a moment, I am given to pause and listen closely to her tone. It is a rare thing for my mother to call me these days and I find myself smirking at the idea of it. I imagine she is not too pleased with Asteraia, or perhaps even me. I'm sure there are questions to be answered and as perhaps one of the few wolves I have ever looked up to, I must admit I am curious of these questions and her answers.
Of all the wolves of Moladion, she is but the only one I am sure to rush to.

As I approach, I let alone a low rumble of greeting before I move to her side, looking out over the shore for a moment as I catch my breath. In the faint light, I lay witness to her displeasure but I bask in the silence nonetheless, pleased to see she is well despite the shortages and cold of late. I ought to bring her a pheasant. Perhaps that will be a task for Nari and I come the morning.

There is a moment of silence after she speaks until I cannot help but let out the smallest of laughs. My voice is not so sharp, almost a lazy thing as I bring my eyes to hers. "She blames us all for her family's failures," I shrug, "her aunt, it seems, left Glorall and has not been seen since. She claims that is our fault, as if I am some grand childsitter." I snort though it is hard to say whether I am amused or disgusted by the notion. Regardless, I hope she can feel the disgust in her bones this night. "It would be easy to rip her apart. There are better ways to get beneath her skin." There is a darkness in my smile, something I am unafraid to show my mother. After all, Aster laid bare much of herself to me that day. I will have no issue presenting such things to others that might seek to bring her down to the earth once more.
