Manea smirked a little when Chimera made a comment about how it was surprising that Scylla got along with anyone. She was tempted to say the same thing about her strong willed son which made her wonder if that was why they managed to find common ground—or at least as much as she expected Saracyn to have with anyone that wasn't his immediate family. He took far more after Alastor than he did her in many regards and while she did love him unconditionally, he did certainly worry her the same way Alastor did at times with his recklessness. She nodded with understanding when he added that Scylla wouldn't be satisfied with playing second fiddle. She certainly wouldn't either and she knew she would be asking a lot of the independent, talented young woman to go along with this hope of hers, but she quietly hoped that if she got her father on board that might help her chances a bit. She was interested in what Chimera meant by Albion finding himself, but she didn't question it for now.
Chimera turned the conversation back to her as he requested more information about her plan and it was obvious that he had picked up on the fact that she was trying to say as little as she could about the situation. She trusted Chimera quite a bit, but this was uncharted territory for her and a situation she wasn't sure how to handle so she wasn't sure how much she could comfortably say. She hesitated for a moment before sighing softly and finally deciding to just be upfront with the man and hope he could understand where she was coming from on the matter. "Avacyn and Saracyn have always been extremely close. It's rare to have more than one pup from a litter in my family so having the twins... They bonded right away," she explained, her ears flicking with a bit of uncertainty as she went on. "As they've gotten older they only seem to be getting closer and I have a... suspicion that if they're just left to their own devices they won't want to find their own mates since they'll have each other." She knew Chimera was far from a prudish man and he would certainly be able to read between the lines here without her having to spell out every detail.
"If it was something as simple as them experimenting or fooling around I wouldn't have an issue. My siblings and I certainly did our fair share of that when we were growing up. I really don't even have an issue with the fact that they seem to love one another so deeply. I'm happy if they're happy. But... Avacyn is to be our family's next Matriarch. There are hard and unwavering laws that she will have to be the face of and will need to be able to enforce and having pups is an important part of that... specifically not Saracyn's pups." She sighed as a frown crossed her lips and she glanced away, her brows pulling together. "I don't think that I could come to anyone else with this... My hope is that maybe the four of them can all come to some kind of understanding and relationship together the way you have with your Queens. The concept at least won't be foreign to Scylla and Albion the way it would be for most other wolves their age from other packs or families. I understand that Saracyn can be disagreeable on a good day, but somehow he and Scylla seem to at least be able to not murder one another. Avacyn is far more willing to play nice, but I do know that she has a bit of a soft spot for Albion already, so..." She gave a small shake of her head and brought her gaze back to Chimera's, quietly hoping to herself that she hadn't managed to talk herself into a hole with the Fenmyre King.
