Deceitfully dull eyes flashed to Lazarus as he continued to warn Aster away from her and cry out her crimes against him. Her gaze flashed back to the Alphess, noting the raised tail and threatening stance. It amused Vitaliya to entertain the thought that a queen would even contemplate attacking a princess of another pack. Such a folly would start yet another war between the packs. It almost made her want to dare the queen to follow through, but in such a case her own missteps would be equally judged. Instead, she chose to continue to smooth things over.

The russet beauty sighed and sat beside the wiggling body of Moteuh. She forced her body to relax and show she was not here to start trouble. He is not entirely wrong. I was not...peaceful...when I first met him. Smoothe tone was honest, though still held its natural sharp edge of danger. She looked long and hard at Aster, pupils only moving to show she was studying the queen. Just as you stand ready to fight for him, I stand ready to fight for her. I, however, tend to act first and ask questions later. There was no remorse in her words and it was apparent she stood by this virtue. Whether she scared the boy or not was not her concern. Had be been one of the heathens of Iromar, or someone - anyone - else, who had meant Moteuh harm no one would have held it against her to rip the demon apart.

Feeling justified, she continued to address Aster. I will not be staying here. I have business to attend to. Moteuh simply spoke so highly of her visit I thought it might make her happy to stay. It was the only time her voice softened, her expression as well, when she looked down at the face of the lost girl.

Excitement electrified the crippled body. This was a new adventure she never dreamed she would have been allowed to go on. Being able to leave Diveen and spend time with wolves other than those of the pack was a dream come true! Not only would she be able to listen to their stores and hear their thoughts, but she would know their lives and possibly come to learn more about her’s! Vitaliya, the angel of light and love had brought her here, opened her life to this opportunity and delivered her once again to her friend! Her only friend…

Beside the Angel, Moteuh continued to wiggle, her eyes on Lazarus in the distance. She did not know why he stayed away, nor really why he thought Vitaliya was going to hurt him. Unsure of what exactly was going to happen, she stayed here she was, whining softly and waiting for word on if she were staying or not.
