white wedding

The altitude still seemed to be messing with her head, at least she assumed it was the altitude seeing as she had never experienced sickness before. Altitude sickness yes but nothing of the physical sort, her body had never adjusted quickly to changes in weather or sea levels when she traveled. It make life quite the pain especially when traveling with the great behemoth of a beast she dared call her brother who seemed to shake everything off. Vi's shoulders rolled back in attempt to do just that, shake off the little bit of dizziness that rimmed the edges of her eyes. But it remained as the lithe female paced slightly, moving about the rocky patch of ground Kaien had dared claim for them. Even she wasn't sure what was swirling though that devious skull of hers but she hoped it would all fall into place with Morphine. When she had originally joined this pack she had been placed as the Ricitaar and Jaeger had begrudgingly accepted his spies opinion. He had placed a huge weight on her shoulders, forcing her to gain his approval and that had always been where Vi had thrived, working under pressure. Now that that pressure was gone and replaced with Kaien she wasn't sure where was was going or what she was doing. Did she even belong here anymore? She had joined with the hopes that the alpha would use her particular skill set to help him and maybe Jaeger would have eventually but Kaien was soft, he didn't want to step on too many toes it seemed.

It was hard to spend your life walking on egg shells, Vi knew that from experience and she hadn't come here to do that and it felt like that was all they were doing here. Jaeger had let them do some chaotic stuff every so often but Kaien seemed like he was trying to rein everyone in without having a firm hold on them. It was getting frustrating and Vi wasn't even participating in pack life currently. Another sigh slid from velvet lips as sharp orange eyes were lifted to see if someone had silently joined up but they had not. No one was here to witness the ponderings of the young woman thankfully. Slowly svelte frame was lowered to the ground, haunches placed carefully to the ground before bushy tail was flipped over toes in a rather impractical but delicate manner. This position would be for nothing, though, for Morphine was soon to arrive on the scene and Vi was not one to be caught sitting before her superiors. She could play the roll of submissive bitch but as she had learned upon first joining this pack, that roll wasn't always appreciated. She had been balancing her personalities delicately ever since, a strange mixture of submissive, vocal and opinionated seemed to be the norm here though depending on who you were talking to some traits often had to outweigh others. Though at her current ranking there were few she had to worry about reigning her tongue in with. Only Morphine and Kaien. She hadn't spoken to Kaien since her promotion and his promotion and Morphine had only just recently risen to power.

Enter Morphine.

Sharp gaze turned to the warrioresque female sliding towards her and slowly Vi stood. Though her features remained neutral a mixture of begrudging respect and envy rose within her. This female was stunning in her own way, metallic eyes seeming to draw Vi in but out of respect for her superior the red female kept her gaze averted. Morphine walked at first with head lowered and tail slightly up in authority. Vi's head also remained parallel with her back, though her posture exuded submissiveness as her tail licked easily at her heels. Morphine was simply ready for anything and for that she had Vi's respect instantly. She was pretty though and that didn't sit well with the vain young woman. She didn't like competition. But at the same time, this woman had started at the very bottom, lower then even Vi had and she had slowly scratched and clawed her way to the top. That outweighed everything else in the selfish female's mind. That was enough reason for Vi to bow her head to this ice queen that slid towards her. Morphine's voice was sarcastic and guarded, Vi knew the tone well and it made an easy, almost sly smile curl up the edges of her lips. Vi wasn't surprised that the queen barely knew of her, they had never crossed paths in their old home and had only seen each other at pack meetings it seemed. No matter, they could do something about it now.

"You may call me Vi or Viri for short if it pleases the queen." she purred, voice lacking Morphine's sarcasm but holding a similar guarded tone. Neither female would see anything in the other that they didn't want seen. That smile remained as sharp gaze finally looked at the queen. "I have yet to have the honor of meeting the new queen of Tortuga, I figured it was about time" she said easily, now sinking back onto her haunches as they would engage in casual chit chat for a while. Though she kept herself positioned with her forepaws forward and haunches collected neatly under her so she could leap up if needed. She had a reason for this meeting but it was just a tiny piece of a much larger picture. Her mind worked and churned over everything presented before her while visage remained pleasant and calm. "And of course, I had to congratulate you on your wedding. Will there be pups in yours and Kaien's future?" she asked easily, honest curiosity evident in her tone. She had no idea of the terms that Morphine and Kaien had worked out in this whole arrangement but she was curious. Every little tidbit of truth she could pry from the queen's lips would be helpful...

Speech!
