Arrow Lake men crawled through deserts

only you. ingram replies to her teasing and blodreina feels her impish smirk soften into a bashful smile, ducking her head for a moment. well, blodreina drawls. i feel honored. she replies in a tone that is light and playful but genuine all the same. blodreina'd never been one to believe in luck really, but she recognizes that she's lucky to have ingram.

ingram expresses hope that verx would return and blodreina is quiet, contemplative as she considers the odds of it. she doesn't want to gossip and tell ingram that verx and aure had been having issues prior to verx's departure from diaspora. blodreina had suspected at the time that aure might not've realized how deep of a wound there was that'd been left to fester for weeks without speaking. blodreina suspects that whatever had caused verx's initial departure held deeper roots; and as angry as she is that he would just leave his children ( if nothing else ) blodreina considers the fact that she'd once thought aure had been much more invested in that relationship than verx from the get-go.

he might not. blodreina replies quietly, as if she dreads saying the words out loud ...but objectively and realistically she doesn't hold her breath for his return. though it goes unspoken blodreina considers that perhaps the only wolf verx had ever truly been devoted to had been heda. at the very least, that's how it presently seems to her.

stigmata brought them up briefly after i first came here, she offers with a soft breath that turns into a heavier sigh than she'd intended. that was a while ago. perhaps he chased them off or they decided to settle elsewhere. she's not used to being so in the dark on matters ...but she'd been heda's trusted and had always been pretty up-to-date on the going on's in drageda; and really she had no excuse to not have been as she'd hardly ever left the pack lands. diaspora was a whole different ballpark and her continued stay in the geist rank — born of her own failure to complete her task before giving birth — serves to bother her a lot more now that she has time to focus her thoughts and energies upon it as their daughter spends most of her time nursing or napping.
