Fancy seeing you here... again

Her dual toned eyes didn’t take long to find the blade he was working on. Shuriken didn’t fight with an offensive weapon that was not claws or antlers. So as he began to polish his knife her gaze shifted around to find something she could work on, and all that came to mind was sharpening a stick as a spear. She thought they were better used as traps, but maybe Remus would like to take his new blade against her make shift spear. Ike found a thick, not rotten stick, and made herself comfortable before the boy as he chuckled at her teasing. She liked that he played along with her, and he’d win a little grin from the princess. This one genuine.

She started to shave off the first few layers of her spear as he spoke. Ike really did try to be polite, he obviously wanted to see her again for some reason. With everything that she was going through right now, the changes in her pack and family, she just wanted to come out here because there weren’t as many expectations. She barely knew Remus and knew her actions wouldn’t affect the pack’s opinion of her if she couldn’t fully keep herself together as a princess should.

"I guess you’ve convinced me to stay.” She told him as he invited her officially. Ike made herself comfortable near him, surprised at the sudden flutter of her heart as she settled down. A lot like how Ezra had made her feel when they had found little visits together. Those moments meant much different to her knowing he’d been with Syanna probably the whole time she knew him. She’d been such a little fool to even think…

The thought made her slip and her talon cut into her other paw painfully. Always clumsy. She dropped the spear to put her toe to her lips. Her gaze lifted to his and she tried to smile through her paw in her mouth when he asked to know about Ashen. Of course, even out here she’d have to think about home. Would she ever really be out from under her responsibilities ever again?

She returned the spear to her grasp and began whittling with her talons again. "My grandmother founded it a long time ago, I guess it’s changed a lot since then. My mom is the Empress now, I guess we’re a family pack.” Except her family was so broken. "There have been three other packs that originated in Ashen, we’re strong and… proper…” She had trouble continuing as she spoke about her pack. She was proud of what she came from, but that made it hard to believe she was worthy of her position.
