Something Different...

Anais listened intently, poised on her toes and practically wiggling in place. Who had managed to catch the eye of her brother? It was easier to see Nako taking a fancy to someone - he was possibly the boldest out of the bunch and had proven that by being the first to father children - but she could not fathom Jakart picking up a girlfriend somewhere and the girl being around so much that her family would notice. As Lior mentioned the pack they had previously been a part of, Anais's mind was already trying to fill in the gaps. "Yeah?" she answered, more query than statement to keep the conversation going. Was it someone from Ebony? There had been a few, she supposed, and the alpha had a few daughters that she remembered...

Her train of thought visibly derailed as she blinked her golden gaze at her blue-eyed sister. The healer? It took her a moment to place the girl, to recall what she looked like, though as soon as she did she remembered more. The young healer had been standoffish and distant, always exuding a cold exterior that, Anais supposed, had intended to keep everyone away. "What?" she questioned, her blank expression suddenly taking on a puzzled, disbelieving frown. "Are you sure?" It had to be someone else, right? That healer girl had been unwilling to make any sorts of friends as she far as she remembered, and the only company she ever seemed to tolerate had been the dark coated male that had taken her on as a student. There had to be some mix up somewhere.

As for the observation Lior made regarding her recent weight gain, worry was quick to replace the skepticism. Something had to be wrong if her sister was pointing this sort of thing out, and it must have been something concerning from the puzzled, discerning look that the younger wolf took up as Lior thought it over. Anais's ears tipped back, pinning themselves to her head, and continued to watch her sibling as she swallowed back her panic. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe she was getting scared over nothing. Maybe--

She made a sudden noise, a yipped note of surprise as the petite grey wolf pushed herself rather forcefully beneath the elder wolf's chest, causing Anais to raise a foreleg in order to give her sibling the room that she needed to work with. Awkwardly, she balanced upon three legs while Lior pressed a listening ear to her gut, and, as if it would make a difference, the nervous golden brown hunter held her breath. Please don't let it be anything serious, she prayed quietly to herself when at last her sister drew out from underneath her front half and righted herself again with an expression that could only be described as serious. Anais gulped, preparing for the worst, and continued to hold her breath...as her sister mentioned puppies. Her eyes blinked, her nervous expression remaining, and for a few seconds she could do and say nothing.

When at last she could, her voice was desperate, serious, and there was a soft glistening of tears as they began to collect along the lower lids of her eyes. "You're serious? You're not joking? You can't joke about these things, Lior, you better not be joking," she said, the words tumbling forth and becoming sterner with each phrase. Puppies? Already? She knew she was ready for them, knew she was excited for them...but in that moment all she could feel was raw, flustered nerves that threatened to do away with her composure and turn her into a sniffling mess of joy and surprise.
