Milk and Honey

She had hoped that looking up at the stars would help her drift off, but it really didn't seem to work. Nothing did. She let out another sigh and was about to roll over and get up when a voice sounded. Her ears flickered towards the large male, her head turning to look at him. Ashmedai. Esti's son. She grumbled softly to herself, returning her head to the point where she could look back up at the stars. "I wish. Sleep doesn't seem to like me today." She said louder, as he wasn't too close to her. Her long white tail flopped back down to the earth, and she tried to hide her mild irritation. While it wasn't hard to get under Mercy's skin, she was on edge around the boy. From what she had seen in meetings, he was a very bubbly, energetic boy. And he was Esti's son, and she was less than fond of that woman. Mercy didn't feel like dealing with a heck of a lot of energy right now, but she knew that she was jumping ahead of herself. He had only said a few things, and he was keeping his distance. Maybe the moonlight sapped up his seemingly endless energy.

Mercy rolled over and sat up, shaking the earth that clung to her pale coat. She looked back over at Ash, her purple eyes narrowing slightly so that she could see him better. "Isn't it passed your bedtime?" She said softly, a small smirk on her mouth. She was teasing him, of course. He was nearly an adult, and a lot taller than her. Which didn't surprise her, she had used to be tall until she joined Imperium. 'The pack of giants,' she thought with a snort. Although it bothered her, she was getting used to being the short one. At least there were a few wolves who were smaller than her.
