Blackfeather Woods This is what it sounds like, when doves cry

she's still aware of the daggers bearing down on her as much as she tries to ignore it upon switching focus to maegi as the wood's leader spoke up. they're good questions, did he only seek asylum here because the melonii had fallen and he did not wish to roam alone? he didn't exactly seem too keen on having buddies around him at all times but some wolves just felt stronger in a pack, she wasn't exactly the type to want to surround herself with others either and yet here she was. not only being a part of but helping to lead a pack she'd grown fiercely loyal to. an urge to laugh bubbles over her once more at the simple idea of trying to convince her past, younger self that this exact moment would happen where she'd be here in this position. she would've been quicker to believe the gods that seemed to plague rather than protect this place in the end. nevertheless she keeps such musings contained and focuses back on the present as maegi addresses her. 

trust

such a fickle thing and yet to hear it come from the nona's mouth leaves her feeling such an odd tangle of emotions she can't sort through to even begin deciphering what they fit into. likely a simple gesture to the other but it was just, trust had never been why anyone had listened to her or vice versa in the past and it felt better than she'd care to admit to hear it. she keeps her cool though, not about to fold into herself over a simple sentence and simply nods back to the other- eyes dark but softening slightly as she regards the young woman before casting sharper eyes back to him. she lets a little mm of agreement slip forth as maegi adds the need to be careful- that, she definitely had no issue with. she'd said she thought they could trust him although in reality despite believing him she didn't actually trust him. such a complicated word wasn't it. yet before she could go off on another tangent, none other than cassiopeia stepped forth from the gloom. well he certainly was causing quite the stir, here they all were bar jakoul.

a brow arches at the dark woman's words, of course having no clue about the two being related and simply being left intrigued that they must know each other too. makes sense though she supposed, cass had mentioned living here in the past and so had he. she looks back to the icy brute as he at last made his own statement; short and to the point. there didn't seem to be much else to say, his word literally meant nothing and she found the whole idea of the saying quite an odd one. everyone said it but having ones word was as pointless as anything, anyone could lie. what use was their word then? she supposed it went the same for promises too, it was an assurance more than anything. 

they'd nothing else to go by anyway and since she trusted all their abilities to make him regret it if he tried anything stupid- it would have to work. no words fall free from ivroy jaws but the smallest hints of a smirk would become evident as she'd stretch out her limbs- letting maegi be the one to officially accept him. after that happens her ghostly form would slip back into the shadows alongside @Moonshadow without a word to their newest member. she was certain that would come in due time.

i presume he'll just get accepted after this so that's my last post. also permission was granted for pp of moonshadow.
