Wait, I Can Explain [Cael]

Listening toe Cael's tirade was hard. It hurt, but it also twinged a bit because on top of it all, Asha could only be so sorry about what her family had done. Pyralis had raised her to be aware of power. Someone always had it. Even as a rogue, you were at the whims of packs moving through the area, at risk of them forcing you out. Wolves who tried for peace were without fail spread to the wind or overtaken, time and time again. So why shouldn't someone be in power? If there was one thing the Abraxas line was capable of, it was leading. Either for good or for ill, it was what they had been made for. Asharya couldn't bring herself to look down on their history, mottled as it was with dark and light patches alike. But she was sorry for Cael. It was hard to hear that their activities had such a strong impact on her life so far. It did make things feel more personal somehow, even if Asha wasn't sure she'd change the course of history even if she could. Malleus' pack was strong, and that was what mattered. Listening to her go on, it seemed more and more certain that she was a lost cause. Asha was already mentally tracing the route back home in her mind when there at the end Cael said at last, "I'm not mad at you though." Asha perked up. "We... can still like, hang out and stuff. It was fun last time." Even though Cael mumbled it, Asharya heard every word. She tried to keep a level face, but ended up smiling despite herself. "I'm glad," Asha sighed. In her mind it sounded confident and unaffected, but the words that left her were somewhat softer. She coughed and carried on with considerably more bravado, "Anyways, the trick to it all is just showing us you're not gonna take any shit. Some Abraxas are pretty thick skulled, it might take some repeating." She paused, then her smile hooked into something a little more mischievous. It might have been a bit of a deflection, but that was about as much emotional sharing as she could handle in a day. "So do you wanna go stir up those pigs or what?" She hoped Cael could let it drop for now. It was a relief that she wasn't hung up on it, and even though Asha wouldn't be surprised if she had some more questions down the road, for now she just wanted to forget the whole ordeal. Shaye, who?

Asharya is chaotic and occasionally hotheaded. Thread at your own risk!
