My ears twitch slightly, listening for the approach of the Lady Empress. I stand idly otherwise, my tail giving an impassive flick, my blue and crimson gaze simply wandering around waiting to see the similarly colored form of the wolfess approach. I know her well enough that she will not just let me and this strange scent stand on the borders for long. I am calm though, something that seems to not be translating to my companion, though I could tell she was new to this and a little more anxious about it for some reason or another. I look to her then as she speaks, her voice less raspy from ill use since the start of our talks, though it appears as though she is a little worried for my wellbeing. I let out a little huff of a laugh, and was about to speak when I was so rudely interrupted though I knew it was from the young woman herself I still let my ears twitch back in distaste for her words. Did Aster want to chase away someone wishing to join?

I look at Aster, very much like a mother scolding a child. A pointed look crossing my features though really I am not surprised by her vigor. She has always been a bit youthful in her actions, I was forced to grow up quite quickly, or perhaps it was simply my personality that made me a stick in the mud to her games, but ultimately I think that is why we work so well, it was far from a perfidious relationship, though I think sometimes I do worry she might cause some problems for us on accident with that fire of hers. I keep her grounded when I can and she loosens me up, when she is able, it works for us, and thankfully I have the patience of ten saints behind me. ”Lady Aster…” I say quietly, clearly unphased by her words though she quickly seems to take them back, due to my looks or Sunai’s I do not really care simply happy she has…. Regained some level of formality.

I look to Sunai then, to encourage her to reply, as well as show her it was going to be okay. Aster was a prankster if nothing else, but Aster had asked her what she wanted to do here, not me. I didn’t feel right butting in further, so I would just hang back, wait and listen and interject myself should the need be. Such was my more taciturn way.
