Moonspear making the rounds

She was pleased to see his face light up and a smile spread and she waved her tail at him. She had, in part, achieved what she wanted to with the joke. Her next words, she knew would draw his mind back to more serious things, but it was needed so she could know what exactly had happened. Her eyes widened when he mentioned that Lazarus had hurt Amekaze. She wasn't sure what that "hurting" entailed, but all the same it was worrying. Why attack the alpha female? She understood now why he'd been hunted so much, and so intently. The protectiveness Charon showed warmed her though. He wanted to kill the male that had hurt his mate, and that made sense to Pyx. She didn't know all the intricate details of course, but she was finding the more she learned about Charon the more she liked him. Even if he did come off rather rough at first.

Pyx nodded as he went on to explain the other wolves. In her old pack, females without permission to mate were expected to section themselves off from the rest of the pack. Typically there had been a small group of three other females to protect the ones in heat from the males, moving them between a couple different hideaway dens to keep them out of trouble. This was not an issue that Pyx had yet to encounter here in Moonspear, but she made a note to see Amekaze out as soon as she thought it might be a even a slight possibility.

Her jaw dropped a little as he told her of the other male trying to say that Charon himself had mounted the female. Her brow furrowed and she shook her head, this pack was certainly more eventful than her last. She shook her head. "That's ridiculous. Amekaze's already with child, how did he ever think a lie like that would work? It doesn't make sense. Anything to try and save his own face, I guess. Better that they're both gone, though, if he's willing to lie about such boneheaded things no telling what else he'd do." She believed the lie, easily, and didn't question Charon for a minute. Amekaze was a lovely female, she was intelligent and kind. Pyx, naive thing that she was, saw no reason Charon should ever desire the other over her. Especially not with their history.

"I'm sorry you've had such a headache lately, Charon. Sounds like one thing after the other." She paused for a moment, a frown on her face. "Is Amekaze alright?" She realized he'd said that Lazarus had hurt her, and that she hadn't seen Amekaze recently. She was obviously still alive, but how badly had the male hurt her? She seemed to be laying low for now, keeping herself away from the pack for the most part. Understandable if she'd been injured by a pack member she thought she could trust.
