Words with the boss

*Karabela* · 08-17-2016, 06:58 PM

Her words were hanging in the air and for a moment it seemed like everything had gone completely still. Her breath caught in her throat. She'd said it. She'd voiced the desire that had been growing in her chest for the past month. She dearly hoped she was making the right move and also hoped that her packmates wouldn't hate her for it. In some way she felt like she was deserting Abaven in its time of need like this but where she was at was only going to drag her down. It was time for a radical change.

Karabela stared at Bass curiously as he mentioned that that day might come sooner than she expected. Was his faith in her that great or was he hinting at something else. She assumed the later but what was he getting at? Quieting her mind to prevent it drumming up more scenarios than necessary she stayed silent and watched as Bass looked around them for a moment before turning back to her.

As Bass began to speak to her again she felt her heart start to hammer in her chest. As he talked about no longer being geared toward being an alpha but that she was…. well, she saw immediately where he was going with this. Excitement and anxiety started to roll around in her stomach as he spoke. He was going to give Abaven to her? Immediately questions started tumbling through her head. What would her pack mates think? Would they be ok with this? Would they feel she was taking advantage of Bass current state? Would they admire her for her tenacity? Would they follow her? If Bass were indeed to give her Abaven it would not stay Abaven but become something of her own creation. Something new. Something truly hers. She knew already the territories she would claim, territories that would test and strengthen her packmates. Harsh territories that held hidden beauty, that made one feel alive.

"Bass… I don't know what to say. I am truly touched by your confidence in me and I will do my best to do right by my pack. If you are offering me Abaven then I would gladly take it and mold it into something my own. I already know the three terras I would claim… and the name…. Ivory Ridge. For the snow capped mountains that mark the Eastern Territories." She wanted a pack that was tied to the land they lived in so it was only fitting that the name relate to the terra rather than anything to her personally.

She pondered Bass for a moment. "It's your future Bass. You should decide what it is you want. If you wish to go then I fully support you and if you like you'd be more than welcome to join Ivory Ridge." Karabela certainly wouldn't turn down free advice though in truth she was used to learning on her own and gaining experience through simply living. She'd always been headstrong.

She felt a slight dimming at the mention of Lark but she could fully understand that family would have first claim and she was already set on her path. She would bring Ivory Ridge into existence one way or another. Smiling at Bass she nodded. "I completely understand. Thank you for speaking with me Bass."
