While Wraen patiently teased Meerkat with a stick, she managed to simultaneously uphold her end of the adult conversation. Towhee followed her words with a furrowed brow, disliking the ambiguity of it. If Arcturus stayed here, then he at least needed to behave like a member of the pack via contributions. Although Wraen seemed noncommittal about his membership, she pointed out that Arcturus wouldn't be able to help but give 100% to the pack. She also said something about the melodrama with Hydra and the rest of his family, though Towhee largely chose to ignore what wasn't any of her business.

She wouldn't be the only one to resent a freeloader in the ranks, if it came down to that, though Towhee ended up saying nothing other than, -"I trust your judgment on the matter."- It wasn't entirely true but she really wanted to give the Sovereign the agency and benefit of the doubt. She knew Wraen always had the pack's best interests at heart, though the Regent couldn't help but wonder if Arcturus had wormed his way into that very heart in an altogether different way. That, too, was none of her business.

She knew she could press, just like Wraen wanted to know more about Meerkat's sire, but Towhee decided against it for now. Maybe she could make their future conversation about her child's parentage hilariously awkward by asking if Wraen was involved with one of her potential baby daddies. That thought made her chortle under her breath as she reclined, happy to keep watching as Meerkat lost interest in the stick and tried to climb up onto Wraen's sloping silver back.
