I Call the Bear Fighter!

ooc: we're going to ignore the fact that I'm switching persons in this post, because I can't focus long enough to write in present tense.

Her heart ached in worry, she didn't know what she could do for Glaciem, or her family. Not when she was so desperately trying to get Tortuga off of the ground, and build the small pack into a home. Her violet eyes searched the frame of her younger brother, and as he spoke again, her ears flattened against her head. The lost of Rin, wasn't that much of a surprise the boy had already attempted to leave the pack before she left. She honestly didn't know the child, she didn't have much of an opinion of him. Drashiel talked about Sin, and she felt a slight growl bubble in her throat. Her opinion of the crimson stained male hadn't been solidified, she didn't really know what to think of him- but if he was really encouraging members to leave Glaciem, she had little respect for him. She made a mental note to investigate that, or pass word on to Sendoa or Isardis, the next time she saw them. He said that they'd lost a lot of non-family members and she could see where if any wolves had wanted to leave- it may be them, though it still was frustrating.

She couldn't blame Drashiel for his worry, the climate in Alacritis had been tense between Valhalla and Glaciem since the seige. If Valhalla tried to retaliate while Glaciem was dealing with the loss of members, the results could be devastating. Finally, she spoke. "I regret to say that I didn't know Rin on a personal level, but he was having trouble in the pack before I left. I'm not surprised he took his leave. As for Sin..." She sighed, changing topics. "Sendoa let them leave peacefully?" She's curious. "Drashiel, Glaciem is strong. I think most of the packs are still intimidated by our last win in the siege. However, if war befalls Glaciem, they will have Tortuga at their side and I believe Arcanum has allied themselves with Glaciem."

She can't help but feel sympathy for the young wolf. As he speaks of Etern, she remembers the uncle she had accepted before leaving for Tortuga. So he's training the youth now? She stretches her head, attempting to gently touch his shoulder with her muzzle. "You're in an impossible position right now. Perhaps you could speak with Sendoa or Etern, and ask if you can train one on one with one of them? I would think they'd appreciate the initiative." Taking a slight breath, she smiles before speaking. "If you ever need to get away, you're welcome to come to Tortuga, even if it's only for the day. I'm not advocating you leave Glaciem, but you're always welcome here. I would gladly spar or hunt with you, and pass on some random wisdom, like "Don't eat yellow snow." She chuckled as she finished, hoping to ease some of the tension that the younger wolf seemed to be wracked with. Her eyes were soft as she looked at him, and she made herself a mental note to talk to Sendoa or Isardis when she had a chance.
