Guess this is your heads up

It was surprising enough that Desponia was here and approaching her somewhat willingly so anything she would have had to say would probably be just as surprising unless it was a request to leave. Still, the confession that Desponia was pregnant brought a shock that was impossible to hide. Her dark eyes widened with genuine surprise and it took all of her self control to not let her mouth fall open. She knew that Desponia spent a majority of not almost all of her time away from Elysium and even when she was here she was reclusive at best so there was no way for her to know what kind of company she kept or if she had a mate of some kind hidden away from the pack, but this was still such a sudden change that it was hard to wrap her mind around the reality of it.

Putting all of the questions she had about how this had come to be, there was the bigger issue that she had to remember as one of Elysium's leaders. Desponia had broken one of the few laws that they held their members to. She opened her mouth to say as much, feeling frustration rise up in her chest, but she stopped herself with a flick of her ears. She had a feeling that if she reacted with any kind of anger it would only further drive the wedge between Desponia and the rest of the family, but that only brought up a larger, more over arching question that she had always wondered about her aunt. "Why do you stay?" she blurted out with a mix of confusion and exasperation. "You never seem happy here. I don't expect you to follow any of the Mendaicum laws, but now you're even going against even the pack's laws. So why do you stay?"
