Following her announcement that Shadow was indeed her mate, Paarthurnax scrutinised the newest member of the pack with curious copper eyes. She didn't know what sort of reaction she might expect from her - truthfully, she lobed to hear that Crëyr already new that their leader was a claimed man. But alas, the wolfess did not know, but responded with dignity by wishing them well for the future.

But then the topic of rank reared its ugly head, and Paarthurnax tried to pretend that it didn't bother her by rolling a slim shoulder. "Not yet. But I am pursuing a leadership role, and wish to be established in one before I conceive a litter." She would plan for pups regardless of her place in the pack, but it was preferable and important for her to produce them as Queen, not as subordinate.
