Phantom Hollow Hidden Behind Forced Smiles

Let's wait for @Cogitemus :) Also short post because writer's block :P

As the queen was on border duty, a howl reached her. The voice was fairly familiar and after digging deep in her memory, she noticed that it reminded her of Judas. Had he really come? So soon? The queen sprinted towards their North border, her throat feeling better after all the medicine she had gotten from Veritas. It tasted somewhat... How to put it... Foreign in her mouth, but it definitely helped. Slowly she began seeing Veritas more like a companion, rather than just a healer who so happened to be in their pack for the time. She had spirit. By some it could be seen as rudeness, but Malice had maybe grown a little naive.

As she reached their border, she had already smelled their healer. Weird, she normally didn't patrol the borders at all. Well, at least the queen had no knowledge of Veritas strolling around their borders. She approached the older woman, tail somewhat higher than hers but not in a way that she wanted to rub in that she was higher than the healer. She just wanted their guest to see that she was boss around here. The leaves on the ground confused her, just like the smell of herbs and stuff Veritas had in her Healer's Den. What was she doing?

Hello there, Veritas. She greeted with a dip of her head. And Judas. She also dipped her head to the male near their borders. Yeah, she still remembered his name. Her glare returned to the leaves again, going from Veritas to the herbs and back. What's this? She asked, her head tipping to the left, a little smirk on her face. Was the healer playing a prank or something on the new face, or...?
