Three's a crowd

Esarosa smiled in return to Avalon, glad with the way their conversation was going. She followed the Alphaess as they continued along the border. She wasn't familiar with their neighbours at all, but she could definitely smell another pack scent in the distance. Briefly she wondered if they were friendly or not, but if Avalon wasn't making a big deal about it right now, it must be nothing to really worry about at the moment. Of course, rival packs could always cause trouble at any time, but usually there would be signs well ahead of time. Keeping pace with the Alphaess, her ears swiveled as the tall woman made note of Itri's disappearance, informing her that she would keep an eye out for the boy and would mention his disappearance to the rest of the pack. Grateful, she dipped her head. "Thank you, I'm worried about Itri..." she said, but trying to keep her hopes up, she would express her appreciation for the woman's concern, "I'm sure once the pack knows, there will be many eyes open for him. Someone ought to see him. I will keep you updated if I see him, or hear any news of him. Again, thank you." As they continued along, she had to work her legs a little harder to keep up with Avalon's increased pace. She grinned a little shyly as Avalon asked her exactly who she meant when she'd said "we love it here". Did the Alphaess suspect anything? No matter, she would have to tell her, after all that's why she'd really come to seek out the leader of Ivalice today. "What I really meant was, me and Steel," she admitted, blushing slightly, "We've really grown close. I'm very fond of him, and..." She took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a little nervous. She had been thinking for a while now that she wanted to start a family with Steel. What was going to happen if there simply wasn't room in Ivalice? What if something happened by accident? After all, she could hardly keep her paws off Steel these days. There were so many other pups already, and many adult members as well. Still, she couldn't stay silent, she had to ask. "Actually, Avalon, this is really why I came to find you today," she continued, tail twitching anxiously - she knew the Alphaess must be aware of her scent, but she'd say it anyways, "Spring is my season, and I've really been wanting to start a family, but... I know there are so many pups already in Ivalice. So I have to ask, is there any room for more?" Now that the question had come out, all she could do was wait for Avalon's response. She knew with capacity running high in Ivalice, something like this would weigh on the mind of the leader. It might not have been an issue at all if there weren't already so many small mouths to feed. Her insides churning nervously, Esarosa waited quietly for any sort of answer. |
