Moonspear Two problems with One Stone?

She knew how it looked -- how it seemed, and maybe, in a way, how it was at times. Charon was unproven and largely untested. He was young too.. which was good and bad simultaneously. Far younger than any leader she was used to (she'd felt "too young" when she'd risen and she had already been two at the time), and sometimes she did forget just exactly how young he really was. He seemed to pull it together well for her, and she liked that.

She didn't think he had been beta for long, either.. but he had risen when the times mattered for them. The Bay had been spiraling towards a similar fate as the Spire, but it was Charon's motivations that kept it from happening. They were better for it and for that, she wanted to see him succeed in his aspirations.

However. She knew there was not a good way for her to verbalize this to her pack mates. He would still need to prove his worth to them, just as they would need to do the same to him in a different way.

Nishu's explanation had her ears slicked back. She sighed softly. He then suggested him standing down from it.. which didn't bode well with her as suggested by the thoughtful narrowing of her eyes. Training for it was one thing. Learning as one went was another. She thought to voice this in some way, for she believed it was how she learned. But no, she remembered. Her parents, each a self-made alpha of different rights, had been far more subtle. They'd instilled into her hints that had helped her grow as an alpha when the role had become hers. So it had been both for her. She.. was listening, though, and curious of this all.

"I will not deny there is room for growth. He has much to learn, as does any alpha in the beginning." And she believed he could do it on his feet. The Bay wolves had faith in him, and from what she could tell, he seemed to do decently enough among the opinions of the new recruits. Her Sunspire wolves were probably bound to be the most difficult to please, though.. "Ah, without any injuries?" she quipped back, arching a brow. It was asking a lot, even for a seasoned alpha or one well-versed in battle tactics. "And you really think this will prove him to you?" And what happened if it did not work? 

She was interested in anything that meant for dead bears. While loathe to admit this, she'd even been ready to accept the possibilities of a few (hopefully minor) injuries here and there if it meant getting them off her mountain and out of her thoughts. Ideally, though, there would be no need. It wasn't impossible for them to escape unscathed..
