A Lie Is Only A Lie If They Figure It Out

The instant indignance of the child peeled Aslatiel's lips back from her fangs. A growl rippled through her and the fae's white ruff bristled, standing up tall. Stiff legged, she stalked towards the girl, a snarl lacing her words. "No, it's not yours. Once anything passes into Valta lands, it's mine. That doe belongs to me and, since you were stupid enough to cross the border, you also belong to me." The fae's purple gaze cut to Khran. "Bring her."

The girl had admitted that she came from Heidinn, which was Vidarr's territory. No doubt this was one of his young wolves that had not yet learned manners and etiquette. Well, today she would learn. Aslatiel stalked towards the border between Valta and Heidinn. As they walked, Asla released a distance eating howl, calling out for Vidarr. While they waited for him, the girl would receive some schooling.

Again, Asla indicated that Khran could let the girl go. "Do you love your family, girl? Do you care for them at all?" She didn't wait for the pup to answer, but continued speaking, her amaranthine gaze burning daggers into the pups own eyes. "Borders are there for a reason. By choosing to step foot over a border, especially one that you knew existed, could bring about the death of your pack. Of your family. Valta is well within our rights to take your trespassing as an act of war." Asla flashed fangs once more. "Valta and our allies could destroy you and everyone within Heidinn. No one would even remember your existence." Was she trying to scare the girl? Yes. Was she telling the truth? Also yes. Borders were important. Very, very important. Not just for the individual, but for the group.

Aslatiel's gaze softened ever so slightly. She was just a child, afterall. "You are lucky that I've met Vidarr and we're on decent standing. We'll wait for him to arrive and he can choose how to properly punish you." Asla nodded to Khran. They would have a discussion later but she was glad that he'd pulled his weight and had done exactly what was necessary for the situation.
