There was no pause as he shows his teeth. The young girl just moved right on up to him and plopped herself down by his side. Her choice had been made and she would be damned if she was going to let him chase her away. But, the opposite happened as he welcomed her warmly once he was sure there was no danger. There was a moment of comfortable silence as he pondered her question, then his answer comes. Swiveling ears are the only outward indication she shows of a growing anxiety in her stomach. Aspis was a wanted wolf now. Even in her young age, Idrisa knew she was putting herself in danger just by being with him. A second was spent thinking about that before she cast it aside without a care. Never again would her brother have to deal with the pain and strife of this world alone. Whether he liked it or not!

He mentions their father and she shrugs. There are a lot of things that should have happened, but they didn't. Dad will understand. He's that kind of wolf. A bit annoying really," she said with a mischievous smile. The conversation turns to Asteraia and only now do the duel hued eyes turn to her brother. "You want to take back our homeland? How? When?" The idea of returning to Asteraia thrilled Idrisa. The rolling hills of their ancestors had been the only home she had ever wanted. Part of her would always resent her father for giving up the throne so easily. If he would have stayed, none of this would have happened and they would still be a happy family. "I want to help! Aspis, teach me how to be strong, like you. I want to know how to fight, how to hunt, or even kill." She spoke the words so easily, proof that above all, she was still just a naïve puppy.
