So Much Harder To Leave

It had been a few days since Manea had promoted her into the position beside Al and while it may have seemed like a perfect fit given her place in his life she still felt kind of off by it. Relm had never lived in a pack besides Elysium, ambition wasn’t one of her strong suits.  She liked to stay in the shadows and do her duties behind the scenes. But honestly she couldn’t say no to Manea and she did feel honored for her to feel that way towards her given their rough start and maybe still tension between them. Though maybe things wouldn’t change much, and she at least believed Alastor would guide her through her unknowns.

Usually she would wait in the common areas for him, but today she wandered out into the new territories where she knew he would be scouting or patrolling for the expansion. Work had picked up more recently because of it, but Relm was still working through her silent routines with the extra patrols and filling the stores on the island.

When she caught up to him she gave him a near shy smile, the most genuine she could be around anyone here. She went to walk beside him in step as if she was just here to be in his presence which wouldn’t have really been out of the norm for her. It took her a moment to say anything. "Manea promoted me." She spoke with her gaze still out in front of her maybe showing just that hint of anxiousness to him. She tried to sound... excited in a way but in the smallest amounts she could show. It was a little forced. Manea should have already talked to Alastor by now, she could assume but she didn’t. Her tone and step was the most casual she could be. "Is this something you wanted?" she wasn’t asking him if he had asked for her to be Generalis, but almost asking him if she had made the right decision or not.
