Moonspear Dulcis

Hydra took the time to observe the other while she spoke; short, and stout too... though it looked as though the other carried a good deal of muscle on her frame, along with weight elsewhere that would no doubt turn into more muscle thanks to Moonspear. Toad had a soft look to her, and there was nothing truly to speak to the contrary. Her eyes were a warm amber, Hydra noted as her gaze drifted upward to the rounded edges of the others face to where they were placed... altogether, the woman was pleasant to look at, and Hydra wondered about what sort of spirit it was she possessed. Appearances were hardly a thing to go off of, she understood well enough, when it came to the heart of ones character... for the most part, anyway. There were also those that you could look upon and know exactly what, and who, you were dealing with; Toad was no such wolf. 

 The matriarch was pleased with the others delight. The mother had forgotten about the days she herself had detested cubs and thought them rather useless, annoying things... with the exception of her siblings. No, she drawled agreeably, they are resilient little creatures. And to hear Toad's opinion on the rest did manage to draw a grin from the Queen, who looked to Toad with a twinkle in her eye. Sometimes beyond. It can be so in our family, at least, she hummed. Arcturus and Revui both had become ambitions, the former belatedly (verbally, at least)... but Hydra had ever been the most ambitious of them all, her desires far from met quite yet. There was so much more to do. To achieve. While the build of the boys might have made it more difficult for most, Hydra had trained for that. Every disadvantage that could be imagined Hydra trained for—losing an eye (both, sometimes), losing a leg, losing her tail... fighting small wolves for their speed, large wolves for their build to get to know each and every situation that might come to pass. 

Toad gestured, then, to the gifts she had brought, and Hydra moved to pull them toward her with a foreleg once Toad nosed them closer. Thank you, she drawled lowly and in earnest, they look delicious. And they did; they were plump, thick with all the things summer had yielded. Before she helped herself to one, Hydra looked thoughtful and hummed, how are you settling in, so far? It was important to Hydra that all were happy here; it was her subordinates that made this place the home that it was. For each of them, old and new, she was grateful.
