SKYWARD

Isardis' words would weave themselves around her ears, entwining and ensnaring her conscience, causing a smile to spread across her dark lips. Thrill coursed through her beating heart, quickening its pace with general excitement. Yes. This was something new. This--this alliance, this presence, this witty banter--was something she could get used to. Only by her habitually resistant and professional mannerisms did she resist the temptation to bring herself nearer as his figure loomed forth and though it was not outwardly apparent, she was relieved when Deteste swept forth. The lady took a moment to breathe inconspicuously and calm herself, withdrawing momentarily with her indulgence in the unfamiliar. She would not deny him--perhaps at other times, she would humor him wholly. The woman shifted her weight, a deeply amused chuckle rumbling from the depths of her chest, bubbling forth from her larynx and rolling from her maw.

The ebony brute proclaimed their partial but considerate lack of fighting skill within the pack and she offered, as he spoke, an almost piteous frown. She made a mental note to remedy this in the near future and swept her now-calculating gaze over to Deteste as he continued. The two traded conversation and she waited patiently, biding her time and milling about her thoughts. Her mind was occupied mostly on the news of the male's plans to claim a pack as she idled. To have Deteste missing from the grounds of Ludicael once more was a little sobering to the lass but the woman was no stranger to having those that were close to her leading another pack. After a few moments, her friend faced her and she returned his smile before rising to her paws, stance relaxed but professional as always.

"Ludicael may not be a pack of fighters but that does not mean we do not have them among us. Their lack of experience is something that can be remedied. I have preserved our own safety this far and will continue to do so as long as I can manage." Her words were careful but firm as she decided that Deteste could not be the only individual engraving certain boundaries in stone. The woman's relaxed nature had led to an equally nonchalant pack but she did not wish to be underestimated or thought little of for it. Her more recent wounds, beginning to scar, tingled with the reminder of battle, forcing her to suppress a shiver of delight. "When the time comes to train them, however, an ounce of help may be needed." She paused to glance back at Deteste, having before turned her gaze first to the albino knight as she'd begun her dialogue. "Does it sit well with you should we request the aid of a battle-seasoned warrior or two to aid in such training? We have quite a few members and for efficiency's sake, having a few more paws to help for a day or so may benefit both of our packs in the long run."

Celestial gaze sought his ruby orbs, gauging his reactions carefully. Yes, she thought bemusedly, this will be an interesting alliance indeed.
