binding more than blood

Manea was always pleased to speak with one of her first real connections in Boreas outside of her husband so when Venom's companion came ahead of her to arrange the meeting she was more than willing to agree. She tried to speculate on what exactly Venom would have planned for her, but she decided not to ponder it too heavily. the relationship between their families seemed to be building nicely and she felt like she could already consider Venom a friend. She didn't think that it was too much of a stretch for them to soon become allies, but she didn't want to rush into the agreement either. She knew that Ashen was the stronger and more established pack here. She felt like there was still much to prove for Elysium to be on par with what she felt like Ashen deserved.

The violet woman put the thoughts aside as she approached the point where Venom had agreed to meet, seeing Ikigai's beautiful form sitting beside her. She smiled warmly to the pair, her tail wagging gently behind her at the sight. "Venom, Ikigai," she greeted simply, but fondly. The young princess had stolen her attention right from the very beginning and that certainly hadn't changed. She was maturing beautifully and getting only more stunning each time she saw her. Manea sat across from them with a curious look in her gaze. "What was it that you wanted to meet about?" she asked, fine with getting right down to business this time.
