The Empress was glad that her son and grandchildren were making themselves at home here in Ashen, though she knew that they wouldn’t be here as long as she wished them to be. The band had places to go and sights to see, a whole world for the puppies to explore and discover. Something that she could not and would not hinder. For now, Venom would enjoy the time she was allowed with them.

She tilted her head, and after a beat the creative mind of the pup began to reveal itself right before he verbally revealed the subject.

"Oh my goodness! Look it is!” While Venom was genuinely impressed at his work there was an enthusiasm that was saved just for puppies. Pride shone in her features, "What an amazing job you’re doing! I’ve never been creative like that.” She admitted as she lowered herself beside his smaller form to watch him finish his work.
