TO CLOSE TO THE SUN

The white woman at Drashiel's side would speak, apparently somehow she knew Talvi's name despite the fact that the girl herself could not recall Roman's. Before Talvi could respond or enquire as to who she was and before Drashiel had the chance to answer Talvi's previous question the woman that Talvi had sought would appear quenching any worries that may have lingered within the girl's mind. The tired manner in which her sister spoke would trouble her slightly, though for now she would be satisfied knowing that not all had completely crumbled in her absence. Besides there was now the distraction of a child at Athena's side, the boy held that prominent blue colour that seemed do dominant within the Armada genes though splashed with the silver colouration of Athena. There was no doubting that this was was her son, Talvi's nephew. "Is this one of your children?" She would enquire, asking the question though she was confident in her guess. "They're so big already!" Honestly she wasn't exactly an expert on child development, had no idea how swiftly they grew or even when Athena had actually given birth in the first place, all she knew was that she had expected to come back to smaller pups than this. There was little time to talk and catch up now though, there was still plenty to be explained in the present moment, nearly every wolf present at least half as lost as she was and curious to discover what was happening why there were two packs present in this meeting. All would be revealed very soon though, with the meeting soon coming to a start. Talvi would fall silent with the others now, listening to whatever explanation would be given though it was almost certain that she'd end up with further questions afterwards. For one until Drashiel mentioned the woman by name, Talvi still wasn't sure what to call her beyond the fact that she was apparently now to be her new leader. How this change had come about still troubled her however though this was likely one of those answers she would need to get later from Athena herself. After the discussion of the packs merging they would go on to talk about ranks. Athena was a heir apparently, still somewhere within the higher ranks though still with little explanation as she why she was no longer the Queen nor why the pack she had returned to was no longer Bevroren but Regium. How ridiculous it seemed now, that she had been visiting allies and giving greetings from a pack that was vanishing behind her. The beta rank was to be discussed next, the title she had once held, perhaps pessimistic though there were doubts that it was still hers. Between two packs of wolves there were surely others that Drashiel and Roman trusted and knew more about. There would be trials though, perhaps there would still be a chance to regain her rank. Funny how much she had grown to care for that title when it had originally be thrust upon her as a clueless yearling. And yet now Roman's eyes would be upon her. Would this be to tell her she was welcome to participate in the trials if she wished or that due to her absence her own rank had been placed up for the taking as well? Was she even aware of the rank that Talvi had previously held? Apparently. None of her thoughts would be confirmed, instead she was still a beta now if she wished to be. There was the slight problem that she knew little about Roman or even Drashiel anymore, how would they run their pack, would she even want to be a part of it anymore? She would simply use Athena as her basis, she was still here and still held a respectful position. "Thank you. I would like to keep my rank." She responded with a small dip of her head, falling silent now to allow the meeting to continue. The warning about allies perhaps came a little too late. She had spent her time visiting other packs that Bevroren had previously allied with and even befriending a member of another they knew little about. Perhaps it had been a silly move venturing off with Caeto like that, though she had realised it for herself, not informing even Athena of her full plan nor mentioning the russet man she had met up with. She certainly wouldn't mention him now, though a part of her was no opposed to seeing him again, ensuring he hadn't gotten himself into any more trouble. And finally that marking she spoke of. Talvi certainly wasn't sure she wanted that. Why would she suddenly mark herself as loyal to this pair she knew little about and who was to say that they and the pack would remain loyal to her. It wouldn't be the first time she had been let down. Though some were enquiring about the mark already, the blue and silver girl would remain silent for now perhaps one day they would prove themselves completely worthy of her time, but so far only one leader had ever earned Talvi's full trust and that had been Athena. |
