Dragoncrest Cliffs they make us war

I'm going to leave this open for a few more days. Feel free to reply once more if you'd like!

Her hope is quickly dashed when Eljay speaks up after a moment, announcing he doesn’t know the way to the caldera. Her eyes shift to him, hardening on his form as she takes a few seconds to register exactly what he’s told her and even longer before she finds the words to respond. Perhaps it had been a mistake bringing the boy into Drageda. Her motive had solely been to make her mate happy but her mate isn’t here and to containing her frustration doesn’t seem high on her priority. A low growl rumbles in her chest but she does not address the situation then. She’ll have to come up with another solution to get to the caldera and for the time being, puts all her hope in the upcoming scout mission.

“Eske, Shalon, and Cecil will go on the first scouting mission and in the meantime we will prepare here,” she decides, not letting them volunteer for themselves. Her patience quickly wears thin but she doubts she will be questioned. She looks to Eske then with just as much expectation as usual. She pulled through fleimkepa for a brief while and it will be easy for her to leave it behind and settle into her new title. “Wanlida, they will be under your command. Make it a swift trip,” she tells her before glancing past the group to see two of her children in the background but she doesn’t acknowledge them more than a glance before dismissing the rest of the wolves.
