This is it [Change in Leadership]

OOC: I'm too lazy to check what thread went where but I'm just assuming Caelum's dead or wandered off to die by now and Zeph would be missing or dead because of that. Mostly I want grumpy Cael, ok, I admit it. Here we goooo!

To say that the name "Abraxas" didn't bring a flood of distressingly mixed emotions to the surface would be a bald faced lie. One she'd tell completely willingly to disguise her inner turmoil, but a lie nonetheless. The war between her knowledge and different experiences was a fierce one. On the one hand, her family had lost their home twice to these wolves. On the other, well, she'd at least gotten along with two of them... But just cause someone could be gotten along with didn't mean they were really good, right? Reconciling the help she'd received as a kid from Malleus, and the sort of almost mayyybe friendshipish type thing she'd developed with Archon with the fact that their... leader or whoever - she was still fuzzy on the exact details but it hardly mattered either way how these conquest hungry monsters were related anyway - had so violently taken out the alpha of Dragoste. It was all just... so... Damn stupid! She hadn't seen her parents in a while and it was stressing her the hell out. One minute they'd gone on a family outing and been enjoying each other's company, and then she went out to explore and came back and there wasn't a trace of either of them! Cael knew her mom used to wander around a lot before having her... Ah, but no matter how much she wanted to believe they were doing some exploring of their own, she couldn't. So when that howl came ringing through the lands, Caelestis was already in a truly foul mood from worrying about those elderly folks she'd misplaced. Still, she was shaken enough from her sulking to go see what that howl was all about. At first he didn't want to believe that Sparrow might actually be dead. Sure, Cael basically never saw her pack mates but... she'd just always assumed they were there and wouldn't disappear or die. Tip toeing through the thicket, Cael meandered towards the source - the rapids. She never spent much time here, even when she was at home. It wasn't hard to find the point with the most cover that was closest to Archon though- annd whoever he was talking to. Cael didn't focus too much on the woman, she was rather busy listening to Archon's speech. She hadn't heard the beginning of the conversation but she heard enough. He was giving the pack to the woman and... Sweeping onto the scene with a stoic expression, Caelestis ignored the woman and focused on Archon. "Funny how you can just fuck with everyone's lives and split. Wow. I'm just speechless" she seethed, mismatched eyes narrowing more the longer she eyed him and making it apparent already that she had plenty to say. Mostly she wanted to scream and maybe try to leap at him and rip his nose off or something equally violent. Even as she started to think of it though, that awful little feeling in her chest had her feeling torn. Her ears fell flat against her skull, tail lashing irritably as she huffed dramatically in her frustration. Why couldn't she just hate him? That would be so much easier that this crap. "This is why it didn't work, you know," she snapped after a moment of silence. Her eyes flared with emotion like a fire growing in intensity as a breeze delivers the oxygen needed for it to grow. "No one wants to try for somebody who looks down on them on such a fundamental level they don't even know when they're doing it anymore. Anyone who does is insane." There was so much more boiling beneath the surface, waiting to spill over, but even as her irritation reached a fever pitch Caelestis found herself bottling most of it, eventually finding herself so royally pissed off by everything that she had to turn away before she lost the composure she was fighting so hard to maintain. Walk. "Speak!" "Think."
