NO LAUGHING MATTER

Vi's head lifted slowly at the call and she let out an audible groan as she cast her gaze back up the mountain path she had already descended. Why now, why today... She had been just about to strike off again on a little recon for the ice queen herself when her lady's voice rang clearly through the warm summer air. There was no cursing or grumbling as there would have been had it been the king who had called her back up the mountain but there was a slight weariness to her trot as she slithered her way back up the way she had just come. If only Valhalla and Tortuga were closer, it would make this sneaking around and deviousness a lot easier but noooo. On opposite ends of the bloody island it seemed. But it nothing else it was keeping her in shape and keeping her busy, something she hadn't bothered doing since the volcano, not until she had spoken to Morphine. The female had given her the kick start she had needed, the drive and motivation to get things done and even a task. A pretty little task doing something she so dearly missed. But it would take time, she knew that tensions were high and that things between Valhalla and Tortuga had never been easy so she would approach the task as delicately as possible. Well at least the task Morphine had assigned her, not so much the task she had begun herself, collecting the darling young bitter thing she had met in the snowfalls. His name still eluded her but soon she would know.
She was already late, she knew it when she took the last few bounding steps up the path to where it started to plateau. This was where they had made their home and she was finally beginning to enjoy it, her balance issue seeming to sort itself out the more she went up and down. There had been times she had almost hurled but it was getting better. Slowly but surely it was getting better... It barely even bothered her as she broke into a lope, ears tipped forward and head held high as she moved towards the pack meeting. She could smell the wolves gathering, a few familiar as they were long time members and a few that she knew from the first pack meeting. But one... A rouge? Was she recently accepted or was she trespassing? Sharp gaze was turned to Morphine for guidance as the red female approached, casting a glance questioningly to the rouge that had entered as if asking the queen if she wanted Vi to deal with it. Easy smile was turned to Kaien next, head dipping politely as she slipped around them to sit beside yet behind Morphine. She held herself with ease, head tipped to listen but eyes cast on the group before them. Where the hell was her brother? Frown creased her forehead but crown was kept respectfully lowered below both Kaien and Morphine's head. She held rank but she showed no sign of attempting dominance over the pair. She and the queen had spoken and Vi would let things lie for now.
Speech!
