OOC- This is will placed the day after the Devya/Artemis fight, just so the timing can be right and I think before the war :)

She woke the following morning, Ares still curled around her, his larger form blanketing hers with warmth. A yawn parted ebony lips, her body screamed to be stretched, muscles stiff and sore. She would turn slowly, her tongue placing gentle kisses along his muzzle and kisses. "It's time to wake up." The darker dame would coo gently, not wanting to startle him. Leaving him to wake up, she would untangle herself from his frame, carefully pushing herself out of the den. Lids would close against the brightness of the sun. Legs would stretch, loosening her stiff muscles. Her ribs screamed with protest, battling the feeling of freshly stretched muscles. Jaws would clench before the pain slowly ebbed away. Haunches would slide to the earth, waiting for Ares to make his way out of the den. Despite her tattered body, she had slept peacefully beside him. Today they needed to find Taurig, her mentor, she had not seen him since the meeting. He needed to know about Ares, and she knew it was inevitable to keep her injuries from the cobalt brute. Speech,

The bump of his nose brought a smile to her face. Blue and green gaze turned, searching for his lavender one. "Good morning." She spoke softly as she felt his crown slide up her neck. Her tongue would offer a light kiss as she leaned into his touch. "Sleep well?" Though her side had woken her a few times, the woman had slept fairly well, her wounds slowly beginning to heal. "We need to talk to Taurig today. Ready?" She gave an excited wag of her tail. It wasn't so early that the Alpha would still be asleep, so she felt confident in requesting his presence. Her muzzle would point to the sky, her melody filling the air around them. Part of her was nervous to see her mentor. What would he think of her injuries? Would he find her foolish? Nervousness churned in her belly. He would still accept Ares right? He had said that he would, why would he turn him away now? Her bright gaze looked at the pale brute as she concluded her call, searching for any signs of excitement or nervousness. He had said little on the subject since yesterday. She didn't want to pressure him but she wanted so badly for this to be his home with her. The ebony girl began to fidget, awaiting the arrival of her mentor and Alpha. Speech,

He hadn't seen many of his pack members around lately, but that didn't mean that they weren't around. The Re had been rather busy lately, with pack business and his own personal affairs that it was quite understandable to say that he had missed any of the going ons with his pack members if there were any. One specific name came to mind as her voice pierced the atmosphere; Devya. He remembered a conversation he had had with the young woman where she had told him she wanted to bring a friend to live in his kingdom. Could that be the reason she was summoning him? No wanting to keep her waiting, the cobalt Re would make his way towards the sound of her voice, icy eyes falling across her figure and the grey figure of a young brute. Ebony lips would pull up at the corners in a friendly smile as he approached the two. Devya. Been a while since I've seen you around. Who's this that you've brought here today? He could only assume this was the friend that she had been speaking of that time ago, but he would wait for her confirmation before he jumped the gun. "Speech"

It took no time for the King to answer her call. The massive form appeared, smile tugging at his inking lips. A smile would grace her features as she approaching, bumping her mentors shoulder with her nose. Her gaze would turn to Ares, silently beckoning him closer. "This is Ares, he helped me home last night, he's the one I mentioned before." She couldn't help but let his name rolling affectionately off her tongue. She stepped away from Taurig to return to Ares side, pressing herself against him. Her crown would turn, searching his face, waiting for him to speak, to request acceptance into the pack. Her mentor had so far not questioned her injuries, though most of her scratches where hardly visible after being cleaned up. Her tail wagged eagerly behind her, eyes bright with excitement. Speech,
