Of memories of ashes

Hannibal did indeed make the Empress happy. She loved many wolves over her lifetime but he meant so much to her. Family tradition made their close family ties mean nothing to the Klein goddess. Their children would hold pure lineage, something they could be proud of. Like her older children could hold tight to the knowledge they were born of a line of divinity. She tried to ignore the subtle reaction in Sirius, at least he had the sense not to say anything.

”I’d love to.” She told him warmly. There was no maternity leave for an Empress, and even if she got as big as her first pregnancy she was going to appear for that dinner. ”I’ll be the pregnant one this time, you need to come to the palace more often.” She encouraged him. ”You know, I’ve missed you too.” She reached over to nuzzle his neck teasingly. No matter what she was going through, having Seer beside her gave her comfort. Especially now that their separate relationships had progressed.
