Lost in the crowd

The Destruction felt almost taken aback when the older woman corrected her use of language, all in good humour of course. She hadn't even called someone a lady before, and didn't see how the term was "younger". Nevertheless, if those were the Archangel's wishes, she would respect and follow them. "Very well," she said with a nod, her bicoloured gaze twinkling a little. There were all these changes and adjustments she had to get used to - some small and some large. Eventually she would accustom herself to the pack's ways and it would all truly feel like home.

As always, it was good to hear the leader was doing well, and Varda herself was feeling quite pleasant until the subject of Baine's hunting training was brought up. Oh, that's right! She and Regulus had been chosen to mentor the yearling, and frankly she hadn't put much thought into it. Brainstorming now, there were a few hunting exercises she entertained in her mind, but unless she knew where Baine's skills levelled in hunting, she didn't know how she'd run the lesson. Here she was now beside the Archangel herself and she didn't even have a plan! Think think think! What was she to say? "I was planning to see Regulus to discuss our ideas," she explained, trying to hide her nervousness. "I was thinking of assessing Baine's hunting skills and picking out the areas that need more improvement and focusing on those." It wasn't bad for a plan she had made up on the spot. She felt a bit embarrassed for having forgotten about it, and vowed to take more responsibility for her obligations. After all, she was a mentor; she couldn't slack.
