Custom Concern

the silence unnerved the alpha to the farthest of reaches, causing her to stifle the urge to shift uncomfortably and fidget unprofessionally. like the knight he was proving to be, though, the tar-pelted lad rescued her from the unsettling silence with an echo of his mate's question, previously warm timbre nearly shivering from the ice encased within it. such a drastic change drew shock even from jupiter, and she blinked rapidly with surprise at the unexpected tone, which rose once more to defend her with dialogue piercing in its meaning. a sort of pride swelled within her chest, but she straightened only slightly, arrogance or triumph absent in her features so she wouldn't come across as disdainful toward the lass. yes, the sol thought, her gaze training upon the male after a moment of lingering on his significant other, he will make a fine member.



even as his apology was thrown her way, the newly-introduce fae, laxago, crept forth, bodice lowering in a bow severely lacking in grace but mountainous in the message it sent. with a dismissive nod in her direction, as well as a forgiving one in de's, jupiter finally deemed that it had come time for her to speak. her attentions turned first upon laxago, head raised only slightly in a relatively casual display of remote dominance, but also with an inkling of pride shining through.



"it's a pleasure to meet you, laxago." she paused, allowing for a slight smile to pull the corners of her lips upwards a tad. gaze flickered toward the mate of the now-submissive female, merciful words dropping from her maw. "don't be; you both were forgiven before the apology." what was it, that one had once said? that mercy, not justice, was the trait that gave true power? possibly. though a very small part of her, one tucked deep away and one that stayed there, wished to sneer in laxago's face for her rude assumptions, but her better judgement ruled over the immature possibility. for now, though, she wished not to linger in the world of their marital issues, and wished only for the normalcy of the casual conversation she had been carrying before the emotionally-crippled female's arrival.



"anyway, as i was saying..." she paused, abruptly forgetting where she'd left off at. the alpha blinked for a moment, train of thought having wrecked somewhere far behind her on the tracks that it wandered. "...excuse me, but where was i again?" she inquired a bit sheepishly. her alarm had shocked the very ideas from her mind, and hopefully one of them could recover it, or ask a question that would bring it about once more.
