The recent encounter with their new neighbours sent her into a fit of fury. Who did they think they were? The needed to be exterminated, or at least cast out of the flatlands. Their leader was crazy enough, and she couldn't see anything good coming from them but trouble. Malice had dared to challenge her, made sure that they were nothing more than mortal enemies. It wasn't so much the Moonlit pack members that posed a threat but the leadership itself. They would follow her, for sure, if Malice commanded against the Brotherhood, they would strike. What threatened her, threatened the pack; vice versa. She would not have this, and would protest until they were removed. But first, she needed to speak to Burke about it, and she doubted he would disagree on the subject.

Letting out a brief howl, she found it too hard to concentrate on searching out his scent. Everything just seemed to be happening, and she just tried to keep up. No, she had this. It was all good. A beep intake of breath forced her to calm down before he reached her call.

It didn't take her long to jump right into the subject upon his arrival. "There's a new pack, Moonlit something. Their Alpha Female is.. insane. I do believe that their presence is a threat to us or eventually will be," Her voice was stoic besides the hint of dislike when mentioning the crazy Alpha. Her reasoning wasn't solely based upon the fact that the two females were mortal enemies, but the fact that they were too close for comfort. It just wasn't practical, and the winter only made the herds harder to find. 

"Me and the Alpha met just before the pack was created. She gave off the impression that she would like to see me dead, frankly. Not that it affects the pack, but I see no good coming out of them being so close and with such a bad feeling," Her brow furrowed, genuinely worried. She took it quite seriously, the potential threat and the risk. Becoming Beta had made her more responsible, with more of a tendency to protect the pack against all odds. While it was a good thing, it was a growing paranoia, to see everything safe. 

Insanity. It was a complex thing, yet Malice could not be excluded from the category. "She's impulsive, dangerous. Seems to think she's some dark queen," She inferred, judging by how Malice had presented herself when demanding an apology. "With an ego inflamed like that and the way she spoke and acted.. She's nuts," She dead panned, although all the proof was store perfectly in her mind. Maybe it wasn't enough, but if the neighboring Alpha came near them, Burke would see. "What i'm afraid of is that if she has it out for me, she'll attack," The revelation of her own worry shocked her. She had never been scared for her life before, but now the enemy had a whole pack behind them. And now the only thing that stood between them and her was Blackfeather. She wouldn't blame him if Burke decided to ship her off to someplace across the Teekon if Malice came knocking on their door. 

"I met respectively with two of the members, and told them to make sure their members stay away from our borders, like any other pack. I don't know if they'll respect that," She had made it clear, but the choice to obey the command lay up to them. If they decided to ignore it, well, nobody could argue that they needed to be eliminated. Yet, it wasn't like she was itching for war. She just wanted everyone to be safe, and Moonlit posed a problem in her mind that could only grow worse. She would not have that kind of threat pounding at the back of her mind as she lived on, knowing that in a split second DB had an peaceful enemy, if it came to that.

She sighed, her heart rate lowering as the adrenaline of her case against Malice ceased, accepting that Burke knew what he was doing. She was not stupid, and to question his judgement would show how little she trusted him, which was certainly not the case. Maybe she was being biased, or her judgement was influenced by her deep hate for the neighboring female. Or maybe it wasn't, that she was entirely correct about Malice. Either way, Burke knew what to do. "Of course," She complied, backing out of the situation entirely. "I will back out of it," And she had no desire to see the girl again or talk about her existence at all. She was above that, over petty grudges and stupid squabbles. Well, at least now she was.

"There's something else i'd like to talk to you about, also," Becoming an Assassin had.. was her dream. Yet, the title of being apart of the Brotherhood and becoming Beta and being a mate of all things was enough to distract her from the very reason she had even approached the Blackfeather borders. But she had promised, and she would not forget. "I'd like to pick up my dark sister training again, and hopefully become the assassin mentor, if that's okay still," He had asked her before, but there had been a lot of time for him to change his mind. "And I do believe that the next lesson has been long overdue," But she held no tone of accusation but slight amusement. It was not his fault she had not learnt in awhile, but simply her lack of memory that suspended her training.

So nothing had changed, she had forgotten her goal but she was not yet finished. Assassin mentor, yes, it would do very well. Teaching others how to fight and not kill themselves. Never would she peg herself as a teacher, the affection and aspire for other's to do well just wasn't there but that wasn't what mattered. She just needed to ensure they were good enough for the Brotherhood. She had supported inducting Cicero and Damien already, so training with him couldn't be that bad. "That's perfect," She agreed, hopefully Damien would be obliging, for it wasn't like they were playing cooperative games. It was real, training and not fit for child play and useless bickering. Besides, Burke would supervise and they would both learn from it. 

She was not surprised to hear however that the silent female wanted to become a Spy too, for she had all the makings to be one. Yet truly, she wished that they had something to practice on. The Brotherhood was for hire, after all yet nobody seemed to even know who they were. "But I do have a question concerning the Brotherhood," She pondered aloud, after quickly looking past Burke to see if anyone was watching. The cult was still a secret, afterall. "How are we to promote the Brotherhood in it's special fields?" She questioned, her brow slightly furrowing at it. "I know that the Brotherhood must be a secret but I've noticed that it's existence is unknown to those would could possibly use its service which is it's purpose after all," She explained, if Burke did not understand where she was going with it. "To our enemies, the Brotherhood does not spark fear but confusion and dismissal, which probably is not the desired effect," She remembered how Malice had even scoffed when she mentioned the Brotherhood and it's darkened fields. They could all agree that the Brotherhood meant so much more, although how would anyone else know that if it's existence was kept entirely to themselves?

She nodded silently, though she had been unaware Cicero had the same idea. Perhaps she would bring it up to him also and get his take on it. She did know however that he had come and gone here and there for the past few weeks, and know she knew why. He was a scout, and he was smarter than she had previously given him credit for. Looking back to Burke, it was evident he had somewhere he needed to be. "Thank you, that is all," And she made her own exit. She didn't like to keep him back from whatever he needed to do, for in retrospect her questions always seemed to have answers he was already working on. 

She lopped along the borders, doing her rounds while she contemplated the secrecy that was so valued to them. Whatever Burke's plan was, it was bound to be good and she hoped she would have a part in it.
