Look who's back!

His reaction was priceless! Iskra couldn't help but beam, so much her stupid cheeks hurt as she watched him process what he was seeing. If she had to hazard a guess, she'd say he liked it. Maybe. Poor guy was speechless and she almost wanted to giggle at the way his jaw dropped, but managed to contain herself. In all honesty she was truly glad to see his liked the little critter. Sobering best she could, the rosey woman shrugged. "I heard somewhere they were useful and figured since you're all into herbs you might like a helper."

Reaching down to nudge the little creature closer, Iskra watched it absently as it took in the large dark wolf with it's wide eyes, possibly not too sure what to make of this new face. Now that she knew at least a couple wolves with companions, she was beginning to think she might just need one or two of her own. Might be nice to have the company when she was wandering around. Turning a bit more serious, she looked back to Malleus. "As far as what I want in return, I've thought about it and this is what I've come up with; it's a two parter, and though we agreed to one favor I hope that you'll hear me out and agree anyways. I'm happy to do more work for you to secure both parts, though." She paused, eyes falling away from his as she sighed softly before regaining eye contact and explaining, "Firstly, I want to know that any kin of mine - those baring the surname Aeris - who should build a pack will be left to themselves. I don't know how far you plan to expand your influence, but should an Aeris pack arise I want them left alone. Secondly, I want any new version of the pack Talis, led by Dragon Ancora or his relatives, to also be untouched." She hadn't seen Dragon in ages now, but she'd thought about it on the way here and all she really wanted deep down was to protect those she cared about, and that included him now. Hopefully it wasn't unreasonable of her to ask these things, but even if it was Iskra planned to make herself valuable enough for Malleus to accept her request even if it didn't happen right away.
