powerhouse

Enyo stood tall, her posture unyielding, as if to counteract the subtle threat in his stance. Is the pressure getting to you? She couldn't help but think as she watched him adjust himself in her presence. It brought her petty satisfaction to know that she too held enough power to stir some insecurity. Her icy eyes noted the puckered pouty lips, sometimes her brother was just... just simply a diva. The harsh, primal glare he met her with elicited nothing more than a smirk from her. How much he looked like Nike when he was angry... The arrogance she exuded was her armor, and she relished in every opportunity to remind others of her elevated status. Enyo had intentionally gone in there with pride and prowess, and having successfully demonstrated her power she felt that she could relax a little.

He had a point, she couldn't deny. She undeniably sought power and so with that power would come more duties. More expectations. If it all went to hell and they failed, Erebros would be the main blame. He had more at stake here than them all, and they all knew it. But to be trusted as an advisor... Enyo did feel honored. Her pride wouldn't allow her to show it though. If this was expected how silly would it be to show happy surprise? Her powerful frame cut an imposing silhouette against the backdrop of the beach. Despite her usual disdain for the trivialities of her male relatives, the presence of Érebos stirred something in her... an old, familiar blend of annoyance and begrudging respect. Perhaps even endearment? It shocked her to think that she may have actually missed him. Any irritation she had felt prior at being awoken so soon dissipated the more she looked at him. If they had been raised to do so, she would've embraced him. Instead, she offered him this, "Well, perhaps it was a poor joke. No need to be so tense brother, you are no longer alone."

She would address all matters in order. Though some surprised her, to have enemies so soon? It would complicate things more than she had anticipated. Her eyes narrowed, many calculations going on beneath her cool exterior. She noted his mention of their future plans with interest, but her mind was already racing ahead to the implications of his commands. The hint of enemies on the horizon was not lost on her, and she mentally began to strategize the potential advantages she could leverage.

“You may be a formidable force and I understand there is a lot at stake, ” Enyo said, “but do not mistake my lighthearted banter for a lapse in authority. I am well aware of my responsibilities as Matriarch, and unlike some, I do not require reminders to remain vigilant.” Though there were more pressing matters at hand she couldn't help but be taken mildly aback by the sheer contempt in his voice for this beach.

“A beach,” she echoed with a scoff, her gaze following his to the horizon with mild disdain. “Why could you possibly hate such a beautiful place? Truly, you surprise me. Out of all the things to fall out of your maw... that was not expected" She nearly laughed, a smile sneaking its way onto her broad muzzle.

" I shall ensure that the pack remains in order, though I expect nothing less than a complete and thorough explanation of these goals you speak of so as to ensure that we are on the same page. We are stronger together." They navigated a foreign land, with a highly political mission. It felt, that the waters were far more murky than she had expected.
