And I need that fire just to know that I'm awake [Ashiel]

Ashiel worked to steady his breathing as he finished speaking. Waiting, anxious to hear what his aunt would make of his words and afraid that he might be rebuked for his decision. He chuckled though when she mentioned that he was bleeding still. "Oh," was all he could say as he followed her to the den. As she slipped inside he followed, growing nervous at the lack of answer but also understanding it was a lot to process. She soon answered, stating that she was impressed with him. Ashiel felt a sense of pride at her words and her tone reassured him that she didn't think he was going insane. The young man moved to sit on the den floor to await Razi's ministrations.

He listened to his aunt's words carefully. She was nothing if not wise. He felt some relief that she was at least considering it despite leadership not being her calling. "Then you accept?" Razi moved to apply more herbs to his head wound and his nose wrinkled slightly. He sat with great patience and stillness as she worked, not wishing to mess up her work especially when he knew the herbs would help even if he wasn't fond of the smell. Razi stepped back to look at her work and spoke. It was then Ashiel remembered that she had summoned him in the first place because she also had news and what news it was! Ashiel grinned. "That's fantastic, congratulations!" He trusted Razi completely so there was no need to question whether the male was suitable and the fact that she was excited meant only good things in his mind. Though, he would prefer to know about members getting pregnant beforehand he couldn't fault Razi for seizing opportunity. He frowned. "My timing is poor, would this change your decision to take the pack?" Was she up for the challenge of raising a family and a pack at the same time? "I'd certainly do my best to help with the pups. To make sure they are brought up in our ways." Considering his change in path he wasn't really planning to have any pups himself.
