Chacal smiled, knowing how inevitable it was that Maleah would meet one of her children. After all- there were six of them currently living in the pack, which was a substantial contribution to their numbers if nothing else. She nodded her head when she considered how much help another adult could be. Another set of eyes looking out for the youth who were steadily growing more and more ambitious and with that ambition came the capability of travelling further and faster. The kids couldn't simply be picked up and plonked back down in the den anymore, and she and Mirelle would both have to rely on all other members of the pack to be watchful. 

To Maleah's next question she shook her head, though without any sign of regret. She was satisfied to be able to give Mazikeen that response. "No." She added, thoughtfully- as Maleah would likely want an explanation. "We do not count on de support of men-
well, not unless we are related to dem.
It is not a law, of course,
but men are not always...First choice.
I was raised by two mothers, you see,
an' dere be no ot'er way I would rat'er it be.
Per'aps dis will change some day,
but whet'er dat happens, I cannot say.
Regardless, women tend to be higher in rank,
for deit faith, fidelity, an' deir strength."
