She could feel his eyes upon her and she smiled coyly as she had slid against him. He had returned her greeting, though he spoke once again in his foreign tongue instead of using the common tongue, but before her naturally flirtatious nature could continue on with the delicate dance, her vision had swept over the pack and noticed that seemingly overnight, everything had changed. Given Lev's response, it was obvious that he had already discovered all of this and had come to terms with it - he merely grinned at her, her swears and outburst an obvious entertainment for him. And then he just had to go one step first - he stated the obvious, that the land had changed. Nimueh rolled her eyes at him and shook her head. "Did it? Did it, really? My question is of course how this has happened and why this has happened. Or, perhaps more importantly, what does this mean to Blossom Forest as a whole?" She fell silent for a moment and cast her gaze over the beautiful land beneath her. When she had claimed Andere Seite, it had been a dead, cracked wasteland. But this... this was a softer place, smoother and more beautiful. It would still be harsh of course but nothing like it had been before.

The fae shook her head and moved toward Lev, her from rubbing against his, her plume curling up and around his chin. He had pledged his loyalty to her and had stated his intention to rise quickly in the hierarchy of the pack. Nimueh wanted to make sure that he was marked clearly as hers, and that no one would be able to claim ignorance. She was not the jealous type, especially considering her own polygamous views on romance, but when it came to business she was possessive and serious about ties of loyalty. One betrayal... and that would be it. There were no second chances, no regaining her trust. Afterall, had that not been what Cynbel had taught her? At any rate, she purred as he leaned into her touch and she dared to nuzzle ever so slightly into his ruff before pulling away. His masculinity was obvious and his cologne, now upon her pelt as well, swept over her in waves, stirring her blood and filling her with a fiery desire. Swiftly, she had moved away from him to look over her land once again - now was not the time to form such a.... "bond".... nor to delve into even something as innocence as petting. If Lev was truly planning on sticking around as long as he seemed to intend, then she would have plenty of time to push his limits, to capture his mind and heart. There was no need to rush...

The sudden flow of common tongue startled her and she whipped her head around to verify that they had indeed come from Lev. She had asked him at the pack meeting if she spoke anything other than Russian, but he had yet to answer her. Though she had once again gotten used to hearing the foreign tongue, she found that she much preferred when he spoke English - the lilt and timber his vocals took upon when his accent was woven into them was unresistable. Nimueh swallowed her lust and instead merely grinned at him. Yes, she would indeed have to explore him further, when there was time. "Lev, you said you wanted to rule beside me. To get there, there will be many tests and trials to prove yourself to me and to gain my trust. I think I have my first task for you. Surely this change cannot be an isolated event - travel throughout Blossom Forest and discover how much has changed. Is it just the packs, or just one region, or all of it. We must stay ahead of this and must not be caught off guard. Go and find this out - you will take your first step in the rising hierarchy if you bring back valuable information." She knew how long this would take - Blossom Forest was not a small land, but as she looked over her own land, she knew that it had expanded. While he was gone, she would explore her own pack, and see just how far it had expanded...
