blodreina accepts mahler's praise with a quietly murmured thank you. and small dip of her head. the praise seems a bit odd to her, but she supposes its what others do when a mother gives birth. i'm glad you and yours allowed me to stay. reina replies, tone laced heavily with her gratitude. despite her struggle to find her foothold thus far — stuck, for the time being, in the geist rank as she was — they have continued to allow her to stay and while she isn't pleased with her own failures she supposes it could be worse.

yes, she replies to the inquiry about ingram. he is very attentive. not that reina particularly thought it was in question. understandably, their status as an unmated pair was likely unorthodox and in the wake of aure and verx's fallout and verx's eventual departure ( also an unmated pair with cubs ) might raise a few questions about the wiseness of being unmated ...but even mated pairs don't always work out and she likes to think that her and ingram's current situation is different than aure and verx's ...which had always seemed a bit one sided to blodreina ( not that, mind you, she'd ever point that out to aure ).
