The ivory woman had been more than a little surprised that she'd been chosen to go on a scouting mission. Considering she had children to take care of she hadn't exactly viewed herself as the best candidate to leave the pack, but she definitely wasn't going to complain. As much as she adored her three little leeches, she was tired of being cooped up within the Empire's two territories. She longed to return to her old lifestyle of traveling where and when she wanted. Of course, Pyralis' choice of traveling partner was rather entertaining. She didn't quite see Kaine as the best choice for a diplomatic mission, but she wasn't complaining. At least if things went sour he'd be good to have around. In the mean time she'd have fun trying to tame him a bit and keep his tongue on the sweeter side. They'd play nice at first if they ran into any of the mortals from this pack and if that didn't work - well they'd go from there. Luckily for her, Celestial was a little ways away from Auster which gave her time to enjoy the freedom and fully stretch her legs. A fog had rolled in after they'd reached the greener portions of the desert and Ana fully relished the protection from the sun. As fun as traveling was, she hated having to move during the day time. The rays of the sun bit into her sensitive skin so the reprieve was a nice change. One thing she knew for certain. She hated the fucking desert. "What do you think, Ana? The last of the mortal group had been a crowd of flighty little things, will this one be the same?" She mulled over Kaine's words for a moment before she glanced at him. "Considering this isn't a hostile takeover, I don't seem them running away like cowards. I think our best course of action is to play nice. I have a feeling we'll get more information that way, but I say we scout their borders a bit to see what we can learn before we talk to any of them." She shared her thoughts with him, taking a pause before adding, "If they show up to the borders that is. I do hope that this pack will be larger than the one we took over. It'll be sad if they're all as pitiful and dull as the last one." The conversation change and a soft chuckle escaped her as he offered to babysit the little munchkins. Now that was rich. She could picture the titan now - babysitting her two little girls and her boy. It was a wonderful idea though - one she would definitely hold him to now that he'd suggested it. "I think that's a grand idea. Maybe you can tutor them a bit as well. My son, Belial, I think you'd do well with him." Her boy was a little trouble maker - she could sense that about him. He had the desire to learn things, but his desire for slipping off and getting into trouble was just as great. "Just don't cause too much mischief together." She said with a wink. "At least not until he's gotten a bit older." She was grateful that Kaine was taking on a more reserved approach as they reached the borders of this pack. Already she could pick up on the lush scents of herbs and prey alike. It seemed as though this pack had an abundance of resources. Lots of rocks too apparently. She smirked to herself as she eyed the wall that stretched as far as her eyes would allow her to. Surely they didn't think that this would keep them out? "Well would you look at that." She laughed. "They've built themselves a wall. I can't say I've seen this before." She spoke to Kaine before taking another sniff. Hmm. It seemed as though they had far more wolves than the last pack. At least fifteen from their scents, though there were probably more. It was difficult to judge with all the scents mingling together. "What do you think, Kaine? Shall we announce our presence or sniff around a bit more and see if anyone notices us?" Walk, "Talk" Think |
