She hummed thoughtfully in agreement when he spoke of the uncertain but possible out come of them having to compromise. It wasn't really even something she had hope that they might be able to get at this point - she had mostly given up on the chance to get Fel away from her pack to take her with them on their escapades. Right now the only real options she saw were abandoning Fel altogether, which she didn't want to do, or cave and give Aerie a chance. Of course there was also the option of just staying where they were and letting Fel come to visit them in their cave and that was an option she was willing to do for a while longer, but it seemed so unsatisfying in the long term. It felt like they were waiting in stasis for something to happen and seemed incredibly boring after all the trouble they had found themselves in since they joined forces. Just lingering around some cave and waiting for her favorite fae to come around whenever she felt like it... there was an attractiveness to that solution, but it also felt like it would get very old very quickly. Her thoughts were permanently derailed when Azriel admitted the fate of his former pack. It made her immediately lift her gaze from the ground in front of her to look up at him with a bit of shock. He didn't look at her, but she watched his face and expressions all the same. Somehow it wasn't even the news that he had destroyed a pack that had shocked her most. She knew that Azriel could be a violent and vengeful wolf when crossed so even though she didn't know exactly what he meant by "destroyed" or what events could have led up to such a thing, she was more just surprised by the fact that he was telling her this at all. In all their time together she hadn't managed to get more than the very bare minimum when it came to details about his past. She considered herself to be the wolf that he trusted most and even she didn't know where he came from or what had led him to the point where they had met. She was quiet for a few moments, listening to the sounds of the water rushing beside them and the crunch of the leaves under their paws while her mind reeled with this new information. There was a whole slew of questions that were just barely being held back by the flood gates that she wished she could ask, but she knew that she'd never get anything else out of him if she did that. Settling on one instead, she looked up at him again. "Why did you destroy them?" Azriel was violent, but he wasn't mindlessly violent. There was always a reason or a goal or something he wanted out of an action before he did it. He was smart and calculating and wouldn't do something so drastic if there wasn't a reason. She didn't know if he'd actually tell her, but it felt like if she didn't ask perhaps this door would close again and she'd miss her chance to find out more. |
