Epiphron was accustomed to the seemingly haphazardly way in which he made decisions, to the fervor with which he acted, to the strength he had never once let falter for all the years she had known him. Often he seemed misguided, but his purpose was always to build for his family, to protect and strength the Adravendi name. She had never questioned his intentions, but the path he took to get there was not always one she favored.

His initial response to her presence was a low growl that begun in his throat, barely leaving his lips as he tried to contain it. She mirrored the expression slightly, lips twitching in a slight scowl as she gazed at him. Syrinx was grotesque, with very few -- if any -- redeeming features. And yet she felt a warmth grow deep in her chest at the sight of him, and slowly her snarl would dissipate into something much more serene.

"If you say so," she retorted sharply, her head shaking slightly. She knew that Alacritis was his home, and that he was not apt to leave, and yet it frustrated her how illusive he could be, often when he was most needed. "I missed you," she would admit freely, though her tones were soft and guarded. "Though I have a suspicion I can count on one paw the wolves that feel the same as I do." It was not secret he was not a creature loved by many, but feared? Respected? Those seemed more likely. A slight laugh would sound from her lips as she leaned to nudge his scarred shoulder, a gesture of affection that she gave to few other than her siblings and children.

Her asked where she was living, and another chuckle would slip unknowingly from her throat. "I have no home," she told him simply, not wanting to elaborate further -- not quite yet. "Maverick and I spent some time in Ebony, a pack east of where the Kingdom of Seracia once reigned. But we grew restless. We've been spending time with our children now, going wherever our paws take us." It hadn't been far, admittedly, but having no home for once felt remarkably freeing. "And what of you? What Kingdom do you plot to overthrow? What lands to you crave to own as your own?" A smirk toyed at her lips, her head tilting as she gazed at him fondly, knowing she was right but wondering if he would admit his plans.
