His eyes crept over her face, and swiftly over her posture as he awaited her answer, trying to gauge her thoughts before she could say anything. She shrugged casually, as though the rank she held was no big deal. He huffed slightly; of course she thought nothing of it. Just as he thought - he hadn't expected her to take her leadership role too seriously, anyways. But then she spoke again, and he was surprised that she would admit it was a big leap forward for her. Only to go on to say she now knew how to best serve the pack. Impressive. Perhaps she did care after all. Which he was glad to hear, considering a pack would never stay afloat if its leaders didn't take an interest. As she then looked away in embarrassment at his inquiry, he let loose a hearty chuckle, his grin expanding to reveal his teeth. Okay, maybe he'd pushed her a little too far. But he couldn't just allow her to feel too comfortable around him - it was in his nature to push buttons, to remain somewhat unapproachable. He shook out his coat and looked to the dangling willow tendrils, letting his grin simper off into a neutral expression. "No matter, there's no rush," he responded, his voice returning to a rumble, "You're both too young to worry about such a thing. Gotta focus on keeping this pack together, first. The rest will fall into place." Would she realize now that he was pestering her on purpose? He glanced to her again, silver eyes seeking out her deep red eyes. "You won't scold me now for stepping beyond my boundaries, will you?" he queried somewhat testily, although his words were almost intended to remind her that she indeed held rank over him. She needn't feel like a child in front of him, even if he was overly brash and forward. She was a Queen. His facial expression remained stony as he watched her, his flicking tail the only indication that he was waiting to be amused. |
