Moonspear gotta get a grip

The others question almost caused Hydra to laugh. Fat-head. Good one, Vela, she commended in her head... but remembered it was at the expense of Ax. No, your head is not fat, she informed. She did not need to even wait a beat to answer that. Hydra still remembered Galaxy when she was a tubby cub, and in comparison to that... no. Why do you think we've been feeding you more? That bear was giving you bad food... food not for wolves... which actually made you more little than you should be, her head lifted and she nosed Galaxy. You could afford to eat a little more, but you're making good progress toward where you should be, she comforted. Yeah, if anything, Galaxy was too little. 

And so she crossed one foreleg over the other. Don't let Vela push you around, Ax. You survived a major fall, and hung out with a bear and lived. You're strong—be strong. When people say mean things, you can feel bad about it, or you can show them who's boss, Hydra lifted her head and grinned. You think you can show your siblings who's boss? Her ears flicked atop her crown.
