Bad Weather, Good Company

She was, admittedly, a little disappointed that Leon's explanation about the adjustment and changes to their ranks was so short and full of holes, and undoubtedly would have liked to have heard much more about it, but he had done her a service by letting her know of these changes when she had yet to notice. Small or large, menial or hugely influential, at least she knew what was coming and could prepare herself for it, though how she would need to figure out. Another softly murmured, "Hm," passed through her muzzle as she considered it: the idea of changing ranks, the prospect of keeping the position she held, of possibly taking on more responsibility if it was what the changes called for. She could only hope that their leaders would not take too long in announcing this new plan so that it didn't start to worry her.

From the corner of her eye, Ashtoreth saw a change happen across her company's face in the darkness, the shadow there moving as he smiled, and turning her head to regard him again she listened as he informed her he had a question. For a half a moment, her pulse quickened, all manner of questions swirling about her brain before she made herself smile curiously and tilt her head in a wordless inquiry, encouraging him to go on. But it was only something simple, or so she thought, a "what if" scenario that he was curious about. And it was definitely a good one. She blinked, turning her head a little away from Leon as she thought about it, about her options, about her wishes and dreams. What did she want overall, that might manifest itself in her job within the pack?

Her answer was much simpler than she had a feeling he expected it to be. But, of course, she could not say it without a little dash of her natural humor. "Definitely not anything with the Warriors," she answered with a somewhat sheepish smile as she set her smiling two-toned eyes back on Leon's deep blue ones. "I'd get run over out there." Just a little chuckle accompanied her statement which she took as an honest truth, willing to acknowledge her small stature as being more of a hindrance for a group meant to defend. "Honestly, I'd probably stay where I am. Hunting's respectable work. And it lets me stay busy following the prey." And she did enjoy her job. There were few of them so the work was a little heavier than it could have been, but overall it was satisfying. "And I'm not going to pretend I know more than I do. I've still got some learning to do before I even consider throwing my name in for Lead Hunter."

Feeling content with her response, her smile grew a little wider as she regarded Leon with curious eyes. "And you? Any higher aspirations, Mr. Adravendi?" she asked pleasantly, stretching her head out to lie it upon the floor beside her paw again as she shifted a little to better look at Leon while they conversed.
