Beltane seemed to take it all in stride when Avery accused her of being with more than one male. The other female laughed as if it were the funniest thing in the world and for some reason, Avery couldn't help a chuckle from her own lips, as if Beltane's humor was contagious. She then confirmed that she had two fathers for her children and said that women were incredible and could carry so much life. Avery smiled, her eyes twinkling as she nodded. "Agreed." This was starting to feel more and more like a normal conversation between girls, just gossiping and carrying on, talking about life. Is this what having friends was about? Maybe Avery had missed out on this part when she was younger. Sure, Aithne was her best friend and they talked but not like this, not giggling and carrying on.

Usually it was about the pack or something personal, something serious. Not that Avery minded. She was much more serious herself back then. Now she knew better than to take life so seriously. It took all the life out of it. At Beltane's question, she nodded. "Of course. I tell them of Iromar mostly and how beautiful it is. I can't wait till they see it for themselves." Beltane explained that she should tell them stories and then asked about their father. When she asked if he was the Chief, Avery's lips twitched into a smirk and she nodded. "Yes, Arkane is their father. He's actually an old friend of mine from when I lived here before." She leaned in as if conspiring, her voice lowering. "I trained him, you know, as a warrior. He was my apprentice when I was Aithne's head warrior." She gave a smug smirk, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

As she leaned back though, her gaze grew softer, more affectionate. "He sparred with me, bringing back so many memories. Then he asked me to be his mate. He'll be good for Iromar. He loves it here as much as I do." She had no question of Arkane's loyalty to the pack, and to her. Beltane smiled when Avery asked if their kids would be friends. It was as if she lit up something inside the other female and she liked to see it. She waited patiently as Beltane closed her eyes and sighed before saying that they would be many things, friends, among them. Avery nodded at her question. "I do feel it. They will have a shared home, shared friendships, shared secrets even, perhaps. I look forward to seeing them all develop and become great."

Beltane suddenly asked something Avery wasn't expecting. Her eyes widened for a second in surprise before her gaze softened once more and she shook her head. "No, my second. I had children before, by Arkane, as well. When he was my apprentice." Her eyes lit up a little, as if revealing a great scandal. She saw no need to really mention the other male, though she still remembered Malum, as well. He just wasn't present as much. Could be because the only child that looked like him from the litter didn't make it much past birth. She sighed before continuing. "Azariah is my daughter, the alpha of Diveen. Her defender, Undyne, is my daughter as well." There was great pride in her voice when she spoke of them. She couldn't be more proud.

Her eyes grew sad for a moment though, cause she knew in a way, Beltane might understand. She could hear the voices of the dead, after all. "There was a third, a son, but he didn't make it. His name was Chiron." She would never forget him, not till her dying day.
