mhm, wintersbane affirms to mahler's inquiry, ears flicking towards mahler as he admits that he only knows hydra from a distance. i was a cub when i joined them, old enough to barely survive on my own but not quite a yearling yet. he realizes that though he considers mahler his brother neither of them truly know one another in much depth. hydra trained me. taught me how to fight. or rather, she helped to hone what lotte had already managed to teach him. i joined them at a tumultuous time. they'd been considering a war with blackfeather woods. moonspear, wintersbane would admit, was no stranger to war — and that was just during the brief time he'd ran beneath their banner and creed. it felt like a thousand lifetimes ago to wintersbane who has never, he realizes, been very settled.

hydra likes control, wintersbane informs, a fact he had learned beneath her wing. i am not opposed to an alliance but i agree. we should state the terms of our acceptance of a proposal with consideration.
