Leera smiles, watching the girl's face for her reaction. Young wolves always like the idea of puppies, and she expects a degree of excitement from Thora, but suddently the girl grows hesitant. Leera's expectant grin falters a little, wondering why the bubbly girl has stumbled upon a loss for words, and what eventually comes out of Thora's mouth wipes the smile off her face entirely. Tyranis' little sister. And she's clueless about... well, everything.
Her sinister mind begins to tick away. There are lots of things to do when one stumbles upon family -- it is easy to get someone to do what you please when family is involved. Leera finds they'll do just about anything for family. "Tyranis never told me he had siblings," she begins, although it's not the whole truth. Tyranis and Leera aren't close by any stretch of imagination -- they'd only just used each other for procreation. He hasn't told her about anything.
When Thora uses the phrase "taken a mate", Leera shivers. Tyranis has taken a mate, more or less, but she does not consider them mates. Only mated. She notices the embarrassed tone and tries to nose Thora gently in false reassurance. "Oh, dear. Then I bet he hasn't told you he goes by Praetor now, either. My, my. Why ever would he wish to keep these things from his own sister?"
