WHEN THE PLANETS ALIGN

As always, Deteste's logic was sound. Looking around at the band of wolves gathered, she knew that they were by no means ready for a battle. Putting training on her list of things to do for the pack, she tucked the comments made away for thought, nodding to the black male in wake of his words. However romantic and heroic, she did not wish for pain to befall her pack due to being unprepared. The woman glanced at Haku, examining his deteriorated state once more, reminding herself to discuss it with him later.



The woman's compaion spoke up but the bird's flattery fell upon deaf ears as she was too focused on the issue to hear anything but. Obsidian lips pursed with an edge of exasperation but before she could speak, Deteste interjected. Earth-tipped audits angled backwards slightly at his unusually harsh words and as soon as his final syllable fell from his lips, she quickly intervened.



"Deteste," she said quietly, loud enough for him to hear though it lacked the projecting volume that the rest of her words had boomed with. He was seething with anger and she wished to cool his temper and to possibly disarm him. Eyes swept briefly about and Jupiter suddenly wished for Medusa once more but pushed the longing away. "That is enough." Her words were firm but gentle, and she took a deep breath, releasing it in a low sigh.



"I appreciate your good intentions, but your actions are unfortunately inexcusable. I will discuss it with you afterwards." The authority had returned to lightly touch her voice, making it clear that the decision in the matter was final. Glancing back at the rest of the congregation, she nodded to them. "I'll be seeking out many of you soon for sufficient training in battle, or in self-defense, at the very least. With tension prevalent around us, we cannot be left here like sitting ducks no matter how much we desire peace." A pause. "Those that currently hold the rank of Orbita need to inform me of what specialty they wish to hold so I may better decide who all needs to be prioritized for training. Otherwise, unless you have anything more to say, you are dismissed. "
