Esa was comforted by Steel's confirmation that she definitely wasn't crazy. Thank goodness for that. She felt that it wouldn't weigh on her mind as it had. She was happy that she could talk to him like this, his words and attentiveness to her very consoling. She should have known to talk to him sooner; he made her feel like any obstacle could be conquered. "Thanks," she said with an appreciative smile, feeling resolved over her previous worries.
Her tail thumped against the ground when he agreed with her idea of going away together. "I love that idea." His words made her melt a little in adoration. She could remember a time in her life when she'd thought she would never be tied to anyone or anything; and a time when she didn't trust that anything could last more than a fleeting moment. But everything had fallen into place when she'd met Steel. She'd never realized she could love someone so unconditionally, and have it reciprocated just the same.
Then the subject shifted, and the gray-coated man asked her how she felt about the whole raid ordeal. Her ears flicked back and emerald orbs cast downward. Although she had agreed to join the raid at the meeting, she wasn't exactly thrilled about it. She'd just gotten caught up in all the hype of it, and she did feel it would be a good way for her to keep an eye on her daughters. She didn't know what she'd do if anything bad happened to them. When Dragon had asked her to stay behind, it left her feeling anxious. She had agreed with many of the points Gryphon had brought up, and it made her more worried that she wasn't the only one who had thought of those things.
"I wish this raid wasn't happening," she admitted, glancing back up at him, "Although... it's true, this season has been harsh. Everything is so scarce right now; water, herbs, prey.. I guess I understand why all the younger wolves want to do this, but it just doesn't feel safe. I suppose there's no stopping it now, though." Her eyes searched his crimson gaze, wondering what was on his mind. He didn't seem thrilled about the raid like their daughters, but she wasn't sure how he felt about it. Perhaps he didn't know either. After all, it could be hard to disagree with the decisions of their pack leader, and the group as a whole. "What do you think, Steel?" she asked, tilting her head thoughtfully.
