Khran spoke of respect for her and the tawny fae nodded. He then continued stating that he had unresolved emotions tied to the new wolf, Varushka. Khranbari followed up by asking that she not do such a thing again. Interesting.

For a long moment, Aslatiel simply stared at the man, even when his gaze cut away. Amethyst eyes stayed locked on his face and eventually she spoke. "That was exactly why I ordered you to do it," she informed him. "I like you a great deal, Khranbari, but we are still new to one another." The fae's white tipped tail thumped once in the snow around her. "It was a test to see if you'll do what needs to be done for the sake of the pack despite your own feelings." The man was emotionally charged and intense. The test was justified for that reason alone.

"You showed her around. Did anything come of it? Work out any of those foreign emotions?" She used his wording and thrust it back at him. The seriousness in her gaze had shifted back to one of confident calm. She was inviting him to speak openly about his feelings and possibly work through them in the process.
