Hushed Willows Could've been the wine

The fae queen squinted as the cat ignored her, looking instead to Caw. She didn't blame it on the raven man however, but she did find it disrespectful of the creature. Lumiya was no liar! She'd rather be found dead than be caught lying, and she had earned her title here fair and square. Her ear twitched in annoyance, but her gaze was one of confusion when the man introduced the topic of a ward. She could only imagine it being one of their two pixies, and she knew it couldn't be Cassidy - perhaps it was the little girl Deidra had taken home. She was beginning to think the little healer was a bit naive to both misjudge Memory and now bring the ward of a cat home, though she wouldn't be giving up Veritas to satisfy the creature.

Our pixies are being kept safe and healthy. Their well-being shall not be a concern of yours, you have my word. she answered confidently.

She turned to Orlaith then with a disapproving expression, shaking her head silently. The girl was being too aggressive and was out of line for taking authority on this matter. Yeah, the cat was a jerk, but the fae folk had to show they were better than what he thought they were.

It was too late however - the cat now had a double that had been spying on their meeting for who knew how long. She raised a brow at the female cougar. Surely they wouldn't have missed such a creature nor their scent in the forest. She'd poked her nose in every nook and cranny to make sure the place had not been occupied before settling her court here. And even then; Simply being born in a place does not entitle you to it. We've worked hard to stake claim upon this forest, and would like for you two to leave if you've got nothing else of importance to share or discuss.
