Some kind of trouble
Moving past the pale trees she moved towards the circular stones that surrounded the strange pool of water. Her silvery grey eyes curiously looking around for any sign of other life besides herself. So far she didn’t see any, it was a bit disappointing to her. She moved over to the pool and stopped to briefly gaze into the glowing water, before lifting her head and looking around once more. Seeing no immediate movement she took to observing the stones very closely and keeping her ears alert for sound.
Her womb has begun to swell. Only slightly, however -- after all, at this point she is early in her pregnancy and the unborn pups weight no more than a few ounces, but she feel the new weight of them in growing abdomen. But even in her pregnancy, she is silent as she slips between the alabaster trees, ears erect, small rosy eyes watching, searching, wanting.

Not much time had passed as she stared at the stones before another found her. Not matter how alert she had been, she had not heard the other approach. Maybe she had been simply lost within her thoughts, or maybe the women was just a quiet creature. Her words had been purred and soothing so when she had spoken suddenly she didn't find herself being caught off guard much. Her head turned and her silvery grey eyes looked to the seal pointed women. She asked if she was looking for something.
"Some company really.... It's been too quiet around here," she replied.
She turned to face the women before taking a seat hoping that this would be more then a brief meeting, she wanted to be social with others. She was going crazy with all of this solitude.

She studies the girl, something familiar about her scent although she's never seen her. At her reply, Leera's expression softens and a small, endearing smile crosses her dark lips. It seems as though the female has grown a bit lonesome as well with all the silence of the pack, and Leera anticipates a light conversation.

The women's expression softened and it made Thora feel a bit more relaxed. Maybe she could fit in here, maybe things would be okay. The women also agreed with her which made her relieved that she hadn't been overreacting. Someone else had noticed how quiet it was. The women spoke of being friends and Thora smiled. She very much wanted some friends and others to talk to around here.
"Nice to meet you Leera. I'm Thora Wreckage." she replied with a smile.
She wondered why it seemed this women was the only one hanging around. Why she wasn't out and about like Ty or Cloud.
"How long have you been a part of the pack?" she asked wondering if she just recently joined. She didn't remember seeing Leera at the first official meeting of the pack.

Sweet as a peach, Leera decides easily about the girl with a slow blink and a flick of the tail. She returns the eager smile and there's even a twinge of guilt deep in her heart, however this is quickly ignored. Morals have never been in Leera's interest. She'll get what she wants out of this girl, now or later. What exactly that is, however, Leera doesn't know just quite yet.

“Thank you,” she said with a smile.
The compliment on her name was nice to hear and only made her feel better about meeting Leera. She was hopeful that a friendship could become of this meeting. Leera went on to explain that she hadn’t been here long, but what came from her directly after that had taken Thora be complete surprise. The high lord rank was that of Ty’s and no one else’s. Her brother was going to have pups?
Leera moves to show her the slight bulge in her abdomen and she felt her brows raise while she tried to process this news. Leera then drew a question to her and Thora felt herself hesitate for a moment.
“I.... well Tyranis and Cloudburst are my older brothers,” she stated.
It was obvious that Ty hadn’t properly introduce himself and he hadn’t even warned her that he was having pups with someone. It left Thora feeling on the dumb side all because of her lack of knowledge.
“I’m sorry Ty hadn’t told me I didn’t realize he had taken a mate and was having pups,” she said on a more quieter tone, embarrassment was beginning to show within her gaze.
Leera smiles, watching the girl's face for her reaction. Young wolves always like the idea of puppies, and she expects a degree of excitement from Thora, but suddently the girl grows hesitant. Leera's expectant grin falters a little, wondering why the bubbly girl has stumbled upon a loss for words, and what eventually comes out of Thora's mouth wipes the smile off her face entirely. Tyranis' little sister. And she's clueless about... well, everything.

Leera confirmed her suspicions that she hadn’t been told and Thora’s gaze sunk to the ground. This meeting could still have a good outcome, right? She was hopeful, but right now it didn’t look like it. Leera then gently nosed her, comforting her only in the slightest. Leera blew her away with another big piece of news making her gaze quickly shoot to the women’s face.
“He what!? He... He tossed his namesake?” her brows furrowed as she tried to look for any hint of lie.
She didn’t understand how in the world he would just toss aside the name that came from thier mother. She knew if her mother would find out.... She quickly looked away from the women with a frustrated huff. To many emotions were picking at her and she wasn’t sure what was right to feel. None of it was going to be directed at Leera, she didn’t deserve it.
His namesake? With a tilt of her head, Leera realizes there might be a little more to Tyranis than his impatient, testosterone-fueled ways. Yes... this is good. She stores the Wreckage namesake in the dark folds of her mind, certain to use it later on Tyranis. The more she learns about him and his secrets, the more powerful she feels over him. So far, Thora is turning out to be a better bargain than she's given her credit for. Maybe Leera doesn't even have to harm her.

Leera continued to speak fueling the mixed emotions swirling within her mind. She didn’t care about herself as much as how her mom would feel knowing that Ty was no longer calling himself a Wreckage. She appreciated the Leera’s comforting, but she just didn’t know what to do.
“I don’t understand,” she simply said.
Leera can't help but to frown; it's clear to her how much Thora's brother means to her, and this news has upset her to the point where she's in silent disbelief. The girl doesn't say much to Leera at this point, and for a split second Leera feels guilty for making things worse with her manipulative words, but in the end she swallows this feeling and continues with her agenda.

She looked to Leera out of the corner of her eyes as she whispered in her ear. Brows drawing upward as she considered them for a minute. That must mean Leera herself didn't even understand it. Was it possible that Ty was ill and no body realized it? It could explain the reason for all these sudden and drastic changes in his personality, at least from what her mother had told her. She then went on to comfort her, saying she was here now, and that she wouldn't throw her away like Ty had. She nodded slowly going with what Leera had said. What harm could it be to believe what she had said.
"Thank you," she said.
She was grateful for her kindness, or she believed it was out of kindness. She was naive and perhaps would never know of the true intentions Leera had, but making enemies was not part of Thora's personality.
"Any idea how many pups you'll have," she asked changing to a more happier subject.

The woman pulls away from Thora's ear to study her face, a false expression of reassurance and tenderness present on the sharp angles of her face. It's clear to Leera that this news has hurt the young girl, which is satisfying, but she withholds this emotion from her visage and insteads nods along to the thanks she's given. The seeds have been sewn.

Her silvery eyes would look to Leera as she began to explain what she thought was in there. To her is was exciting even if one would be in there. She couldn't imagine what it felt like to be in her position. She knew motherhood had made her own mother happy so she could only assume that it brought happiness with it. Then Leera offered for her to feel the movements of the pups and it perked up her attitude. It was something she had never done before and her tail would wag. She would gently move and gently press her nose to Leera's belly, her smile widening as she could feel the movements. Suddenly she drew her head back as one of them strongly kicked where her nose was.
She looked back to Leera's face with a smile.
"Did you and Ty pick names yet?" she asked.
This subject was a lot better to talk about and it even made her excited for her potential nieces and nephews arrival. She didn't know how they would be, but hopefully as pups she could have good relationships with them. She had plenty of energy to babysit if it was needed.
Leera keeps her gaze trained on the young girl's face, a facetious grin tugging at the corners of her lips. It feels uncharacteristic to hold her facial muscles like this for so long, in forced glee and warmth, and even stranger is it to tilt her chin back and chuckle when Thora feels the pups kicking. "Lovely, aren''t they, little dove? And they'll be your nieces and nephews. Your family." Her voice flows from her lips like wine. She leans in another degree, almost so close her nose brushes against Thora's ear. "I know you would do anything for family, wouldn't you, little dove?" She moves away to groom a bit of fur on her shoulder. Yes, she is sewing the seeds, but kids aren't always foolproof. Unfortunately, they have their own ideas and can sometimes make things messy, but maybe Thora would pay off.
