Not speaking of the subject that had just been broached, Jupiter paused to allow for Aria's departure, nodding politely to her, gaze following the lass until she disappeared. It was then that she turned her eyes back upon Deteste, head tilted minutely to the side and her brow furrowed with concern. After a moment of staring at him she rose to her paws and paced a little, optics thoroughly averted.



"So, you're not... hiding her?" she murmured, her words disappointed and low but audible. She moved around a bit more and then settled upon her haunches with a sigh. "Alright, time to brainstorm more den ideas." She'd been relying on whatever super-confidential hiding place Deteste had found for Laxago as a place to safekeep her pups for their birth if the two would not mind her presence. But this...? She couldn't comprehend such a failure on her part. How had she not noticed? Sure, the scents had been relatively older, but...



Suddenly noticing her selfishness, she shook her head and with an apology upon her features swept her path of sight back up to her loyal member. "I'm sorry, I was just going to see if you were keeping her someplace I could use for the pups. There are plenty of places, though, so I'm sure I'll find one. But... yes, I'm sorry about Laxago. You alright?" She wanted to be absolutely certain that he was stable and comfortable with his own decision before she dropped the next bomb on him, that of which she already had to stifle from blurting now. Jupiter shifted her weight patiently into a more comfortable position, eyelids fluttering for a moment as she felt a kick, but otherwise her movements were unchanging.
