Lover's Eyes

Athena had given her all the courage she had needed, and her lovers words had warmed her heart so much. She felt like melting against the woman, never before had she felt so in love with this woman as she did now. Almost feeling like crying she blinked up at the silver woman and beamed, nuzzling into her broad shoulder and nibbling it slightly. She knew with all her heart that Athena was not a wrong doer, and that she would work her sexy little butt off to prove herself to her mother. And for that she couldn't be any more grateful. Her eyes glanced over to her mother, her question about the boys father coming up. Her red ears pressed tightly against her her head, gaze shifting slightly. "He's gone, there is no need to worry about him," she said softly, leaving his name out of it ass she slide her right paw over to Athena, resting it atop Athena's left. She knew that her wife was still saddened by the mans departure, and she didn't wish to upset her further.

It wasn't long before her mothers words grew more cold, and the woman narrowed her blue eyes slightly at Pip. She knew that she had all rights to be reserved, but there was no reason to be rude. At the note about her father Ama's jaw dropped and she rose from her seated position. "Mother!" she called, rather aghast at her. Hackles bristled slightly along her spine, the sweet girl wasn't going to just sit here when her wife was talked to like that. "Athena's father was hardly around in her upbringing, several times he had walked away and left them alone. He left Athena with a kingdom when she was only a year old, expecting her to hold the same views. When he confronted her about it she cut all ties with him, broke the pack away from his tyrant reign. I know that things happened in the passed..." she said, her voice steadily growing softer as her words rushed out, "but I assure you that no one knows better about how much of an awful man he was than Athena does." There was only a short break before Epiphron said that she would give them a home here and she let out a soft breath, lowering herself down to a seated position right now. "Thank you Mother, really. I am sure the boys will be happy to come and meet you," she said with a soft smile, going easily back to her happy demeanor, "and I was head healer back in Regium. Athena was Queen and then heir, but I know that she is a skilled fighter." Amalia looked back over at Athena again, seeing if her wife agreed.

When Pip spoke again she softly rolled her eyes at her mother, when she said that she needed nothing more than respect. She knew that it was directed at her wife, because her mother looked very pointedly at her. Amalia knew that Athena would work hard to prove herself, because she was just that type of determined mother. It was sad that the passed leader had died though, it would seem that a lot of wolves were losing their lives this season. She beamed at her mother though, pride clear in her coloured face. "I'm proud of her Mother, so very proud. I know its been awhile, but maybe this will bring as all into one place. It hasn't been that way since we were little." She mused. She missed being around all of her sibling, and was very excited for Athena and the boys to meet them all. They were all scattered around Alacrita, so gathering them up might take awhile. When Epiphron said that she was going to bite if Athena looked at her wrong, she couldn't help but giggle softly and peek over at Athena. "See, I told you she didn't bite that hard."

At last she saw the part of her mother that she had been waiting for, that stony gaze slipping from her. She slipped her neck around Pip's and tried to hold her close, breathing in the scent she had missed to much. "I missed you Mother, and you know I love you too," she said softly, pushing even closer into the woman, "and I couldn't be any happier than to be here with you."
