The bad kind of anticipation

Asla arrived promptly and although Zee couldn't quite read her expression, she only felt stronger that their littlest might not take the news well. Sirius' muzzle was pulled into a grin and Zee shot her husband a quick glance - this conversation would not go how he was expecting, that much she was sure.

The horned queen offered her daughter a soft, almost apologetic smile, seating herself and curling her tail around her back legs. "Sorry if we interrupted you, I know you must be very busy." Asla was not only reaching for the rank of Lieutenant but also competing for Reaper. Their stargazer had put her mind to the task and Zee had spotted her often bringing home trophies from her hunts or with her small paws bloodied by a recent fight.

"You're not a child anymore, so we won't be speaking to you like one." Once more she turned towards Sirius, the statement being as much for her husband as it was for her daughter. "The truth is, we're going to have another litter. You're going to have siblings." She paused, letting the information sink in. Zee did not intend to rush the conversation, and Asla would have however much time she needed to absorb the potentially upsetting news. "Now, how much you'd like to be involved in their lives as their sister is up to you... but it will be one of your responsibilities as Lieutenant to help train them. Does that sound acceptable to you?" Neither alpha would be placing a wolf who was unwilling to fulfill their responsibility of teaching simply because they disliked them from the day they were born. Before they could grant Asla her promotion, Zee needed to know she was prepared to put expectations above her emotions.
