Ways and Means

Walk | "Talk" | Think Ares answered as any loyal youngster would, professing that his mother's decisions - each and every single one of them - were completely sound and carried with them the utmost perfection in their plans. It was such a blind answer, full of the misgivings of youth, and Rune could hardly stop himself from smiling in a sudden flare of amusement. True, the Imperial woman did seem to hold great consideration with each of the decisions and proclamations she announced to their pack, few as they had been thus far, but Ares had not spoken from the standpoint of consistent success. It was pride in his lineage, an unimaginable esteem for the woman, that had caused him to speak so. Rune had felt it too, once, when his parents had both still be with him. It was how he recognized it for what it was. It was not his place to spoil those childish fantasies, however, and so the smile left unexplained, perhaps written off as a mere reaction to Ares' positive response. And then the negative followed, a sure thought that their leader would not think it wise to send her own children off on the missions she had expressed to the rest of them. Rune did have to admit there was some merit to what he said - Morphine's pups were still incredibly young, even if they could manage to talk better than he did. But a part of him knew that a strong pride ran through her as well. He had seen it before, when he had been a pup, and he had seen it again at their pack meeting. It was what kept her back straight, her head up, her eyes glinting with a regal air. She would only accept the best from them all. Which cause Rune to shrug in response rather than agree immediately. "You never know," he intoned thoughtfully, "she could send you with someone to learn." It might not have been exactly what the proud young Ares would have wanted, but it was still a chance for him to prove himself if he wanted it. Of course, it was only speculation, Rune's attempt to think as their Imperial did and try to gauge what her actions would be. |
