Blackfeather Woods Duty before self || Nemesis

Her thoughts were confirmed as a rippling growl sounded from her with the mention of the strange alpha. Yet, the stranger seemed to not care for the hostile feelings she harboured for her Alpha. The other ones had taken high offense when Nemesis had warned them of Malice's lunacy. But there was something different about this one, something simple but immensely devious. She kinda liked it. Yet, they both acknowledged that they were rivals, enemies even, but her beef did not lie with the female but her alpha. 

The minute the stranger spoke her purpose for being that their borders, she turned to Burke, giving him a sidelong look that seemed a lot like "Can I kill her now?", though it was brief. But she refaced the female with a much different expression. Her eyes wandered hesitantly to the bundle, glancing back at Veritas then to Burke. Perhaps Venus would put it to good use, that was, if it wasn't poison of some kind. Her knowledge of herbs was very limited but she did not simply take plants from strangers. "Interesting. I doubt your Alpha female would approve of this," She hummed, though there was no hint of detest but curiosity. Did Malice even know the female was here? Probably not. A peace treaty was the last thing she expected from the deranged fae. 

"You never answered my question. What are you doing here?" She repeated, rewording the question to get what she wanted, though with a much leveled yet cunning tone. Veritas's gift seemed something of a bribe, though the true nature of her visit to the dark borders was hidden behind the formality. The interrogation was assumed up to her, or Burke would have struck by then. It also occurred to her that maybe he wasn't so in tune with what was happening although she had informed him of all that was necessary. And she was out of the loop with what has happening on Malice's side. Had she known that the female wanted peace, she would have taken it into consideration but the thought did not cross her mind whatsoever.
