Moonspear sunshine through the rain and snow

Hydra emitted a low note that revealed she concurred with Katya's point. As of late, it seemed to be the case... which Hydra was pleased with. She would much prefer this be the case; violent though she could be, it was far from her desire to be such a way at this point in her lifetime. But to protect her family, she did what she must. The actions of others had consequences when they trifled with her family; she would keep those that did not know better in check, and educate with her teeth—as she always had. As she likely always would. If Hydra knew the thought of the other woman, she likely would speak to it; any could make a lasting, and permanent, impact within their family should they work at it. Hydra did not doubt the others ability to do so, but time would tell... it always did. 

The woman then seemed to mull over her options; many seemed to think that Hydra's questions were something of a test, but she was only a woman who ever stated what she meant. It was not at all her wish to make her subordinates feel uncomfortable or pressured, though her presence was daunting to many. It was no wonder, that, and yet Hydra did not at all see herself the way others seemed to. She was a devoted leader who wanted those within her fold to feel at ease with her, with all. 

The matriarch was also a wolf who took others at their word. Even despite Katya's perceived pause, she had expressed she could start now; there was no doubt that this did please the matriarch to hear, despite her open-mindedness to the other not being ready. Though Hydra could detect easily enough that the other did not at all sound confident in their choice, she respected that she had made it nonetheless. Hydra would not let the other doubt themselves more than Katya seemed to... rather, Hydra hoped to erase the traces of that someday until the other was confident enough in themselves to feel prepared to defend, if ever it was needed. 

Nodding, the blue eyed woman licked her chops. Do you know the basics of self-defense? She inquired as they moved, starting firstly with this. Best to know what square Katya was starting at, and all of that.
