Zelda tried not to think of her failed love life. Her and her mother seemed to have the worst luck with such things. Her mother though, had accepted that there was no love like the love of her children anymore though. Zelda thought that maybe since she found that Eden wasn’t the one she had been looking for, but loved him nonetheless in a different manner, she had given up. That or when Moteuh died she just wanted to love who was remaining. Zelda, Shem and Asriel. It felt so sad, especially knowing she had also adopted Illias and Solstice too yet they too also left Moladion. Though Solstice only left a few weeks ago she had started living her own life and exploring Moladion for years before this day. At least she said good-bye. Zelda was convinced she too would have such a life. Maybe that was why she clinged to Lazarus as she did.

Of course her uncle immediately clung onto her words, but she tried to ignore it. She was already pretty flustered and she knew at this point he was just pushing her buttons to see how far get could get her to go. A modest wolfess like her, it was odd to have someone, particularly a male, staying in her den with her. He was enjoying his game though, and at his last words regarding that she decided she should tell him what was really going on between her and the male that stayed with her. Understanding hit him hard it seemed. Their family, since Moth and Coza, seemed to pick heart over soul. Some, like her uncles, that she was aware at least, never even found their other halves. Cenmatl had, but he wasn’t by blood, not that it really mattered, it just seemed that the Aztecs found their chosen loves for the last two generations. Maybe Zelda would be different, maybe others of her cousins would be different too. Time would tell. Dexter agreed though that her mom was probably onto it. After all, it was out of character of her to let someone stay in her den of the opposite gender like that. It would be obvious to pretty much anyone that knew her well.

Dexter continued, saying that he was glad for her, and it seemed like Lazarus only wanted to make her happy. He really did. He was so sweet and innocent in ways despite everything he had lived and been through, he still felt so… pure. She wanted to keep him safe, give him the happy life he deserved too. She just didn’t know if that meant she wanted to be in it that way. For either of them. ”Th-thank you Dexter. I just… thought someone other than me should know. Keep an eye out for him.” She said giving a warm smile, her tail waving lightly. She said as he moved his paw to cross his heart. Really it did feel good to tell someone. And out of anyone in the pack she knew Dexter would be the one to help the most. Which lead to her next proposal for him.

”I don’t believe so, other than him having been taken to Asteraia. He mentioned Moteuh, said maybe if we acted sooner it wouldn’t have happened… but I don’t think it was anyone’s fault, no one but Aranck’s at least. I think he’s just tired of feeling like he can’t do something to take care of us maybe.” Of course she might have been putting words in his maw, she didn’t really know, but he wanted to go higher in the ranks and who was she to stop him? Speaking of, she mentioned to Dexter about his promotion, or her desire for him to be her Beta and Advisor. At his disbelief she couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit. ”Of course.” All of their family was so modest. She had no reason not to trust him, not to take his sagely advice after living for so long and through so much. At her reply she nodded that she was sure, and that seemed to decide it. ”Then you are now my Kaepora, the secondary protector of Taviora. Though, I feel like you’ve been that all along.” She said her tail waving. She was happy, she hoped this would make life just a little easier for her, or at least take some of the worry from her shoulders.
