time to step it up

*Recluse* · Updated 04/30/23:

For all her children might worry about her opinions on their lives and passions the truth was that Recluse simply wanted them to be happy... Or, well maybe that was an over simplification, certainly, there were things she would not take nearly as well, becoming fratricidal for instance but which of her children did or did not have designs for Habari's throne was not something she worried over much, she certainly hoped she they knew well enough that she expected any attempt for Cherubim to not be a free ride and that she would not give preferential treatment based on age or length of time holding the rank, and it seemed that if Kali had forgotten this she was about to be reminded.

Ghoul spoke and despite herself the woman couldn't help but smile, to see her quiet little boy who'd followed so closely after her for so long starting to express himself, but for this desire, in particular, felt amazing, a lovely reminder that while she would never again be able to hold him close to her and wrap herself around him until he disappeared into her fur, that she had traded that for something just as valuable, seeing him turn into a proper young man.

”As you're aware the rank of Cherubim is currently held by your older sister Kali, I would not strip her of it until she has had some chance to defend her claim to it. That being said, the challenge need not be an actual fight. Learn, take the initiative to help your pack, to grow yourself, if Kali wishes to keep her claim she will be forced to match your efforts at least. Or if you wish you may call for your sister to defend her rank by traditional means.” Though she said this in truth Recluse had some idea of how this would go, her brown and gold daughter had been scarcer as of late and she certainly would not continue to let her coast by if Ghoul's ambitions were true.

”You may set your own pace as you wish, I may call on both one or both of you for important meetings, of your opinions, it will be your prerogative to either take those opportunities or not but remember that at the end of the day it is my final call, and I will always choose what I think is best for Habari.” She watched her son carefully, she would refuse to play favorites at the expense of Habari, if it turned out he was not up for the challenge he would not win the position he sought even if Kali was proving to be lagging behind, she would rather vacate the rank of both of them if need be than give to it to an heir found wanting. Though she hoped she would not have to. How would he take this? If the possibility of his own failure was too much, if he reacted poorly that would tell her more than enough before she even let him go to ponder her words.
