The words from the other females hit her ears, making them twitch, the only indication that she had heard. Slowly though her body would relax from its crouched down position to end with her rump gently sitting down. Friends? Family. Eyes narrowed slightly. The only friend she had here was Squall. He was her shield, her mentor, a brother that she so desperately needed. He was slowly working to get her more confident, to come out of her shell. But she could only manage to do so around him. Their progress was slow, snail slow but it was there. But hearing words about family and friends nearly fell deaf on her, not getting much of a reaction. She had given up on such feelings that one had in a family relationship with another, they had died and been buried.
But the tone that this black and red female used made something in her twitch. She had heard words spoken with that tone before, had sat there thinking maybe this person could fill the void of a missing mother, only to watch them slowly fade away from her. Epiphron was gone, Loccian she hardly saw, so she would only think that if she allowed herself to open up to this female, she too would be gone. Instead she stood there, nearly not reaction to it at all, not an inch was given. In a few short moments a name was given to the woman before her. Destruction, an odd name."Rohini Astraea." She replied simply, eyes still not looking up. But new of this Destruction being the new queen had her eyes widened. Legs propelled her body to a standing position, head lifted to stare at the new Queen. What had happened. Bewilderment flooded over her."Queen Loccain, what happened to her? Where is Epiphron, would she not have taken up the rank if Loccain had dropped down?" Her voice was full of distress. Though both those females had spoken to her on some very emotional subjects and then seemed to disappear from her, she still cared. Living on the outskirts of the pack, with not even her own den, she never heard any news among the pack.
It was a shock at the very least to her. Why had there not been a meeting? Or had there been and she never heard it? Surely not. She might be shy and all but she never missed the meetings. Her mind raced as she stared at the other. There didn't seem like there were any fresh wounds, so there had been no challenge. So what had happened?
