The more Arion spoke, the narrower the alpha female's eyes grew. By his admission, she ought to know what was going on, but it wasn't like she had time to hang out with him every day in order to figure it out herself. She relied on her followers to be open with her and right now, Arion was being anything but that. She only grew more confused when he asked if she'd put herself in his shoes.
"Maybe I could do that if you'd talk to me about your issues," she emphasized in a tone that was now growing irate. She'd asked Arion what was wrong when he'd first threatened (call it what he liked, it was still a threat in her eyes) to leave the pack and he had refused to tell her. He still refused, and yet expected her to somehow understand how he felt. Well, Saena might be capable of seeing and communing with spirits, but she was no mind-reader and she wouldn't pretend to be sorry that she'd not seen the signs or sorry that he felt slighted because of it. There was only so much she could do when someone refused to tell her what was up.
"I'm sorry that grieving for my sister and fortifying our borders and getting rid of threats and running this pack are more important to me than hanging out with you enough to somehow know what's bugging you all the time, and I'm sorry that I don't know what's going through your head. I'm not psychic," she practically seethed. She would calm down later, but right now she was feeling vulnerable and almost insulted. His attitude was unwarranted and yet he justified it by claiming she wasn't attentive enough. Maybe she wasn't always, but Saena tried her best, and to have that thrown back in her face was painful.
When Arion claimed to not be the Arion she thought he was, she almost spat, "clearly not," but held her tongue. Instead, she turned and walked away. She heard his announcement that he was leaving to go to his den, confirmation that he had no intention of helping her, and confirmation for the retreating alpha female that he was not ready to be a beta. That he might never be fit to help lead this pack, not with his current attitude. She didn't say anything, just kept walking, and when she was out of sight she sent up a loud howl to warn the whole pack about the swirling clouds overhead. From here, she would seek them out for an hour or two, make sure as many of them were safe as possible, and return to her waterfall home... all while a new hurt anger simmered in her breast.
