The recognition from the others made Pleione's chest glow with warmth. She couldn't remember the last time she'd felt as good, possibly not since her puphood. It wasn't a lot, just a continuation of the conversation, really, but her words made an impact. It made her feel important, like she was a real part of the pack at last. Hunting as a pack just wasn't her strong suit, she decided. She'd do it if she had to, but if you really thought about it that kind of grunt work was beneath her, anyway. "It sounds to me that the river is practically ours already," Pleione boasted, extending her personal pride to the pack she was part of now. It surprised her to find that she was proud to be a member of the Ashen Empire, working directly with the great Venom herself. The excitement and adrenaline of their conquest was reaching her now, a thrill she'd never had the chance to taste before. A flourishing pack was an entirely different from her fallen kingdom and its constant struggle just to survive. "Why would we want someone else's old haunt when we could have an uncrossable border full of food? The river just makes more sense." |
