Made to run for our lives

Acantha raised a curious brow when the cream-hued woman spoke of how the only pack worth joining was her own. It was a bold claim, but it certainly got the former princess' attention. Her aqua eyes followed the woman's movements as she left the pool she had been soaking her paws in so that she could come to the edge of hers, sitting neatly as she began to introduce herself and her pack. The Armada. With titles such as Reaper and Warlord she had no doubt that they intended themselves to be the pack of warriors she claimed them to be. Acantha briefly looked off in the direction that Aslatiel pointed out, noting that it was likely the pack she had scented shortly before coming here. They certainly weren't that far away from it anyway.
Her attention soon returned to the Reaper, blue-hued eyes finding the rich purple of hers. It was difficult not to get caught up in the fair features of the lady in front of her, though the talk of the need for devoted and dedicated wolves was certainly interesting enough. It reminded her so strongly of the speech her father had given her before instructing her to take over as the head of the guard. Retrain them, make them a cohesive group. Reign in the stragglers, fill in the gaps. It felt as if her purpose was finding a new use in what Aslatiel was describing - assuming that all of these bold words from the forward fae rang true.
The Stavros woman smirked as she chuckled softly, saying, "You make one hell of a sales pitch, Aslatiel Fatalis." She pulled herself up to sit on her haunches, water running off of her in streams, her white and gray speckled pelt clinging to every dip and curve of her toned body. "I'm Acantha Stavros. A pleasure." She looked over the smaller woman again with a curiosity. There was a lot of confidence and fire in such a small wolf, something she appreciated tremendously. She didn't often have the time or patience for anything less. "I'm not a hard sell. I need a purpose and if you can make use of my skills - which it seems like you can - then you have my interest. Living without a job to do doesn't suit me and I've only ever known being a warrior so that suits me just fine."
