you made me want to be a saint.

Azalea was hot. Summer was hot. Everything around her seemed to be melting, especially herself. There was an audible groan of delight as she saw the river before her. It was her destination and she did not slow as she approached but instead sped up. With her tongue lulling from one side of her mouth the young woman canine cannon-balled into the waters. Her head went under and her limbs went into overdrive, dragging her back to the surface faster than natural buoyancy alone.

As her head broke the surface, she shook her head sending heavy droplets flying like shrapnel. Where they hit the water ripples were spread, lost quickly the larger ripples cast from her body. She paddled along tracing patterns in the water before heading for shore. Swimming worked muscles more than most realized and she wondered silently if the wolves of Ludicael were excellent swimmers.

As she pulled herself onto the shore, she head a song playing across the airwaves. Her attention was instantly piqued, she knew that voice. It was Epiphron! The Seracian Queen had come home to visit her family! Azalea's mouth dropped open in an excited look as she moved forward, giving herself a few halfhearted shakes in the process.

Azalea wasn't too far from the border but still, by the time she arrived a small party was already there to greet the visiting Queen. Chrysanthe, the most obvious, Erani (as to be expected), and then there was Solaine. Azalea gave a light bark, announcing her arrival. The landscape was very open here but still the group was too preoccupied to notice her without calling out to them. As she drew nearer, her tail began to whip wildly from side to side, her body lowering slightly.

She noticed little about Epi right off, other than that it was her favorite aunt home to visit. Only after drawing nearer did she realize that her aunt had grown round and heavy with child. "Oh." Azalea stopped, giving her aunt another look over, "oh!" Her mind repeated, not sure what else to think. She hadn't expected Epiphron to brood so early, she supposed, but it wasn't like she had given it any thought to begin with. Azalea knew she certainly didn't want to become pregnant. Getting fat, eating like a pig, giving BIRTH. Yeah, no, she'd stay away from all that business. That didn't mean she wasn't excited for Epiphron, she knew how much she loved Maverick. "Epiphron Congratulations!" She bit her tongue, withholding the urge to tell her that pregnant didn't become her.

The Heir had thus far largely ignored her little sister and now, as she forced her jittery body to sit, she looked down at her small sibling affectionately. For not wanting children, she was quickly growing a liking for kids. "Solaine, what trouble are you up today?" She asked with an unmasked joy in her tone.
