She couldn’t miss what she didn’t know. Nor did she really understand the feelings he had to which he was speaking of. It was hard to understand that he felt honor was missing more from these lands especially when she, and her family, on both sides even, held so much. She reminded herself though that Iblis was of the old lands, and Coszcotl too. Many of the wolves she met too seemed full of honor, but she did suppose that others that he might encountered might not have been so, but most Zelda met she thought had been.

”I am not sure that the world has changed that much then. I have met many wolves, including you who are good, honorable wolves, and I do value those things, and I know many of the alphas do too. But I haven’t experienced what you have, I am not sure to what you have seen that I have not. Though the one war has happened, Grandfather told me that was because the Demons forced it upon the Angels, they didn’t want to fight. I think what is going on right now is more of the falling out with Iromar and Diveen and same with Asteraia and Glorall, it’s a misunderstanding that I am planning to setting straight.” She said to him, her tail waving, voice hopeful, ”I don’t think the things you and your family valued are gone, or even harder to find, I think maybe, you have been unlucky Lex and your parents lucky. I have heard lots of bad, but more good, I promise if you let me I will try to show you some more too.” She said touching her nose to the side of his neck and shoulder where his scars were. ”Things are not so well for the last two years, but you were gone for the time where we had many of peace wandering. There is good here, you just need to see it for yourself and quit shadowing me into the darkness.” She encouraged. Really though if it was that much better, she wanted to strive to make it that way again, for everyone in Moladion.

She chuckled at his words that there were wolves who were less likely to jump at a chance to fight. She had to agree, though she might have had answers for that as well. ”I.. Hate to say it, but perhaps our new generation of leaders are… inexperienced, perhaps maybe even spoiled, by the years of peace we grew up in.” She looked away, she knew that meant her too, but she and her family were not wolves that were easily brought to rise to a fight. Aster and Pine, they were not like Zelda and she couldn't say for sure with Kalseru, but she had experienced the hardships and knew what it meant to have a pack on her shoulders, knew her actions spoke not just of her but of her land. Zelda thought Kalseru was more like her and perhaps not as quick to jump to something.

The part about imprinting though brought her to maybe blush at her cheeks when she thought about her new bond with Lazarus, but then gratitude that it was not since she one had Balor… she couldn’t picture ever loving or wanting to be with a wolf like him. Lazarus though, she thought she could handle. ”Maybe… that’s so, but I am also happy it is not that way. My first imprint was a wolf of such dark desires that there was no way I could ever love such a wolf… But from my grandparents, all of them, I know when you find that imprint that can be heart and soul it is the most wonderful thing, and no simple love can compare to it when you have or had that.” Though she knew that her grandmother Rhae dying had killed her grandfather Iblis, and her grandmother Moth’s passing also nearly took, and still did take a toll on, her grandfather Coza. Imprinting was powerful, and almost terrifying in some ways.

Still to learn such things was interesting, but maybe things hadn’t changed as much as he thought, but maybe if she did know more about him, of the past, she would understand why he felt that way. Or perhaps she was simply too naive and hopeful for this world. However, she noticed his ears tilt slightly back at her words, though she didn’t think it was a bad thing he felt, but she tilted her head looking up at him wondering why he was seeming so… sheepish? Was that it? However, he tactfully distracted her, causing her to remember what she was here for to begin with.

His reply though caused her to tilt her head the other way then, she didn’t know the truth of what he would do for her? She put that aside though as he said he didn't’ feel he was a good choice, that he had failed her, that she didn’t trust him. ”Ridiculous! I never heard anything so incorrect in all my days!” She teased, ”I know that the thief might had bothered you, but our borders are expensive, there is no way to always make sure every single wolf out there is repelled, I understand that, and if it bothers you that much I do have need to find him again. As for your trust, there are few I trust as strongly as I do you, Alexander. Outside of my family I can only think of four others, Astraea, Starfall, your brother Alistair, and Tithe. Of course I trust all my members, but I have the utmost faith that you would always seek what is best for our home, for Moladion. Especially after what you told me of the past. I am sure you would strive to try and make this land as it was in the past.” She added, batting him playfully with a paw, not trying to bloviate, but really she thought what he said was so odd. Then again it probably sounded a lot like something she would do to others when talking about herself.

”Things happen, Alexander, but it is us that must then try harder not to let things happen again, it is… not a good feeling when you fail those around you, I know that probably more than you understand, but all I can do is keep trying, right?” She added smiling up at him once more. ”So… are you going to accept then? With no doubts? Prove yourself wrong if no one else. For I think only you see your faults, your failings as that.” She challenged him albeit a bit teasingly if nothing else. No one was perfect, she knew that for sure, everyone failed even if they worked hard, though with each failure, Zelda herself only tried to fight harder to do what was right for everyone.
