Maija would watch how he would respond: hang his head in shame with eyes averting her gaze. Having him react the way he did had caught Maija off guard, but his words were even more startling. Neo hadn't wanted to appear because of a wild goose chase, and she understood that. Why waste time until you had all the facts? She showed a good bit of surprise in her leaf-green vision before she felt the ground quake beneath her paws. Her feelings were pulled back in as she looked to her right and saw the Queen's silvery form appear. The smirk that had appeared on her face before temporarily stayed as her gaze met the coral pools. Once Cataleya asked Neo of his identity, she watched him with a sliver of interest in her eyes. Neo introduced himself and explained that he was there to seek asylum...and to ensure his pups had a father. Maija's eyes slightly widened and her fur stood on end. She hadn't told Cataleya about her unexpected surprise, but the golden woman knew her Queen was smart enough to know that her scent was different from their last encounter. Slowly, she looked over to Cataleya and nodded, confirming the words that came from Neo's mouth. It wasn't like Maija had forgotten about her pregnancy. The unknown number of whelps inside of her were very new news and she didn't plan on telling Cataleya until she had confirmed it with a trusted healer. "You're gonna hear me roar" |
