Ouroboros Spine gold ashes

@Alusia --wrap it up?

[size=small]While the pale yearling wouldn't have been bothered if her brilliant idea was shot down she was pleasantly surprised to see her new friend's lips twist into a smile that gleamed with approval. The silly quip, which had rolled of her tongue without much thought, had managed to do what Cara alone hadn't been able to.
Bond with another.

In the past, she had been so caught up on herself, on her own mind, on her own duties, that she had not even tried to reach out to another aside from Sitri or Kaname. In them, she had thought she had it all -- but as of now she knew that despite how fond she was of them both, they could not offer what the pale female did. Even as an openly jealous matriarch, female friends to gossip and gush her problems to was a must.
There were things that not even mateship entitled Kaname to knowing, things that were reserved -- from his ears at least.

So, Almond was perfect.
She had already earned points by the mere fact she was too interested in persuing a life of a Warden, and had practically won her over after her reaction to Mara's story. Everyone knew that your friend's enemies were by default your own. And by expressing her strong disgust towards the female (after having just heard Cara's side) it was more than clear that she was just the type of wolf Cara wanted around.
As far as the pale Queen was concerned, it was her side of the story the only one that was valid anyways.

A bright smile bubbled to the female's lips and instantly, Cara mirrored one on her own narrow snout, her tail still swinging rythmically behind her as she slowly cut the distance between them to give the female's cheek and affectionate nudge, that would remain to be more surprising to herself than to Alusia.
Not being big on physical displays of affection, it was with the most sincere emotions that she had reached out to touch the other female.

"Cara can't be really shortened --unless you want to call me Car" she joked lightly as she pulled away from the female with her eyelashed batting playfully.
Yet, with her interior still dazed by her inexplicable drive to express her fondness with something othe than words, she gave no hint of feeling in the least ashamed.
She didn't have to be.
It was then that, in the middle of the birth of their friendship, Cara silently wished that the female would stay long in the Spine.
At least to witness her children's birth.
