Redhawk Caldera The truth is, I prefer whiskey.

You would think that after years and years of experience and being that wise and always calm leader Wraen would have a better control over her occasionally firey outbursts, but they still happened. Especially, when the matter cut her deep and she felt like she had to defend herself against the world. She regretted her tone and choice of words almost immediately, because it was not Towhee, who she was angry at. 

"I am sorry, Towhee, I did not mean it to come out like that," she apologized, but felt pretty much the same as the previous winter, when she had bit her friend in the butt. "Kukutux? Apparently she is a friend of Arcturus's. I was looking for Maia and ran into her. And got to hear all about, how I have stolen him from the spear, how I will make an unsuitable mate to him, because - you know - I can't have children. And that he will come back and she will find him a wife," she recounted. 

"She eventually called me Arthur's... plaything that he would get bored of in spring," she cracked a grin at this one. "And I called her a whore. But you know - after hanging around with you and Niamh I could not take crap lying down, could I?" she looked up at her friend. "To clarify things - yes, I did trespass back in spring, when Arcturus wanted to take down Hydra single-handedly - a lot of drama I do not want to get into - and I decided to drag him away from there. And I know that I am not on the Moonspear's welcome list...

But that chick sounded crazy and confident. She babbled something about blood-oath or that I owed my life to Hydra. And that she would kill me, if I came near Moonspear. And they already think they own half the valley, how should I know, where it is safe anymore?" Wraen finished, suddenly looking worn out and tired. "I don't think I deserve being blamed for everything that went wrong with Arcturus and his family. And I really, really do not want to speculate, which Moonspear friend, who has come to greet and meet on the caldera borders, is there to finish me off," she said.
