Take note
It was only an idea at the moment, but she had seen something in the girls eyes as she had looked up at Shaye. Some sort of wonder at seeing a female in charge, if she was to warrent a guess. She would speak to the young girl and see what she wanted with her future and suggest the idea. She had already spoken to the girls guardian, and had his approval going forward.
She went looking for the girl, using their den as a starting point. Acere had done a good job of digging out a space for himself and the growing young, but she wondered how much longer they would all be able to live together. she had a feeling Ignis was going to grow into rather a large wolf. As she reached the den, she let out a bark, calling for Actaea

“So, I was thinking about mentors for you, and i’ll share a few of my ideas. You can let me know what appeals to you the most, ok?” she would offer. “Abaven has the traditional ranks - warrior, like Ignis will take, Healer, and hunter. These ranks branch out into things like, a warrior can be a guard. But on top of these, I also have a diplomat rank that no one has filled yet. A rank like that would mean learning pack politics, how to make alliances, and so on. If a role like that interested you, I could mentor you in it.” she looked to the girl to see if she was following what Shaye was saying.

Actaea showed an interest in the rank Shaye spoke of, and Shaye gave her a warm smile. This was going to be interesting, but she was sure the girl would be up to the challenge. It was just a matter of seeing if Shaye was. She needed to return to Branch and Ignatius and set more solid terms for their alliances, so perhaps those two gentle packs would be a good trial run for the girl - after she had learned a little about diplomacy first.
“You don’t have to give up on healing - I use to be a healer myself, and I would be happy to teach you both.” Shaye explained. It was interesting that the girl would taken an interest in healing, it was Shaye’s strong point, even if she had pushed it aside to learn how to fight and take care of her pack. Perhaps this would work out even better then Shaye had initially thought, she could teach the girl both of these skills.
“Walk with me?” Shaye asked softly, she always found she thought better when she was walking. She waited a moment for the girls answer, and chewed over what words of wisdom to give the other wolf. It was still so strange to her, to realise that her own childhood was so far behind her.

She would watch the girls eyes light up as she realised Shaye knew healing. It was things like that, that made it all worth it. Actaea was another of the strays that she had taken into Abaven, a wolf in need of a home and a future. The kind of wolf that reminded Shaye what they were fighting for. She had taken a personal interest in the girl, taking her on as her first apprentice. It was a new idea for Shaye, and no doubt she would fumble through it as she learned herself.
But, looking at Actaea, she knew it was all worth it
When the younger wolf looked up at her, multi colored eyes blinking, earnest, her soft request one that came from the heart, Shaye just about died a little inside.
She lowered herself to the smaller wolfs height, looking Act in the eyes, her own gaze solemn, and serious. “You are a part of Abaven now. This is your family, and your home. It is my privilege and pleasure to ensure that you grow up into a future you can love. Yes, Actaea, this is a promise, a commitment that I can not and will not back out of. You are my pupil now, and I will teach you anything you want to know - so long as it’s within my power to do so.”

“Perfect” Shaye said, offering the girl a warm smile. She would have to keep in mind that there were some underlying insecurities in her new apprentice. It was all perfectly understandable, considering what Ace had told her both about their previous pack, and this girl’s father.
She was Shaye’s responsibility now, and Shaye would see to it that the girl grew into a mature, and happy young woman. They would work on her trust as well as her future together. Shaye would prove her seriousness by action and reliability.
“Alright, let’s build some ground work” Shaye said, leading them through a loops of the pack lands as she spoke. “How many packs do you know of?”

“There are Seven packs in Boreas, and do you know about the smaller land mass known as Auster? There is one pack there.” she would go on to explain, uncertain how much Actaea knew about the actual world beyond Ruina and Abaven’s borders. She had a feeling a lot of this education had been neglected in the girls life.
She angled their path near the river and found a nice patch of soft earth. She grabbed a stick at got to drawing, do a careful, if very rough sketch of the both islands. She drew a few lines through the map. “These mark The North, East, South and West parts of the land. The bottom island is Auster.” so far she had a rough outline of the world as she had seen it through exploring, with lines between. None of the lands where filled in. “Abaven is about here” she drew a cross on the map where the pack approximately lay. “Here is Celestrial, Fyri, Kesali, Legion, Lirim and the Risen Empire” she explained to the girl. She knew that the wolf Ty who had spoken to Rhyme had put up a pack, but didn’t know enough detail about the pack yet to include it on the map. “Any questions?” she would ask, letting the girl take all this in before she piled more information onto her.

“We have the start of alliances with Celestrial, Fryi, and Kesali. We have a complete pact with the Risen Empire that I will go through with you shortly. We have talks with Legion and Lirim, but no promises made between us as of yet.” she would go on to explain, pointing at each cross as she spoke to help the girl remember where each one was. “Most of these alliances revolve around trade and knowledge, such as sharing members of a certain field that another is lacking, or food for pelts depending on who needs more warmth and who needs more food stores.” she would go on to explain the nature of an alliance.
“A deeper alliance promises aid, such as the one we have with the Risen Empire. If we are attacked, they will send warriors to fight for us, if myself and Rhyme get challenged, they would pose a threat to the challenger. In return, we house their members if they come this far into Boreas, will not oppose them politically and offer them material aid. The Risen Empire is a larger pack with a superior number of fighters, so this alliance in particular is important to us, because they had a higher ground in negotiations, they could have asked for more than they did”
