Knives & Pens

She admitted her failings, bared them for him to see. Instead of turning from her, he seemed to appreciate the honesty. She didn’t rose color what happened, she knew she had fucked up. “That means a lot, coming from you.” she told him, the closest she was willing to admit right now how much his opinion mattered to her. When she had followed him after the battlefield to speak to him, some of the things he had said to her would stick to her for the rest of her days. It had hurt, because of how highly she valued his opinion. Despite everything, that hadn’t changed.

“I have heard - and I know your going to make an amazing Alpha, and I truly hope that Ignis and Actaea can take some of what they’ve learned here and shine in your pack.” she told him, she loved those young wolves, and considered Actaea to be like a daughter to her. “As for Tana - that would be a huge weight off my shoulders, I doubt she could trust me now, and I do want what’s best for her. I hope you can help her.” he hoped he could get her help, find a balance for the demons inside of her. She deserved peace.

She took a soft breath, and managed to offer the man a smile. “We’ve certainly had a few differences lately, but I want you to know I believe in you, and i’m here to help you. Setting up a pack can be hard, getting it off its feet is no easy task.” Abaven had been in shambled when she had claimed it, and it had taken a long time to make it the busy, bustling place it was now. Even then, she knew she was still learning how to lead. She hadn’t trained for this, she had no idea what she was doing half the time. She shuffled along, did what she could, and hoped for the best. “I’ll lend you healers and warriors, and offer training to the wolves that want to join your pack, even extend the offer to wolves in this pack to move to yours, if they wish it.” she offered to him. It was a lot to offer, and it showed just how much she did believe in the younger wolf, and how much she wished to help him with the difficult task of starting a pack. Truth is, she believed the word a better place with Ace in it, and an even better one if he lead a pack. He was the godfather of her children, after all.
