Time seemed to drag on forever as Enoki sat there patiently before her brother, awaiting whatever answer he decided to give. The silence that surrounded them only being broken by the occasional rustle of the fallen leaves as squirrels gathered their food for the winter and geese flying over head signaling with their distinct honks. If he chose to leave she would not hold it against him, though, she did wish to spend some time with the younger male before he left the Lore. Many years had passed since the two siblings last saw each other and equally there was just as much to catch up on still. But as she waited she noted the subtle changes to his features. The tell tale signs of the battle within ones mind from their conscious verses their subconscious. Which one would be victorious? The Ashrelle princess would soon find out.

Finally Mordacai spoke his answer to her offer, the eagerness in her eyes only shining brighter like a glowing fire. He agreed that their brother could rule their homeland with Kafei at his side and then spoke what she was hoping to hear. Cai was going to join the pack given the leading pair accepted him. Joy swelled within her heart as she let his words tickle the tiny hairs of her ears, the thumping of her tail only growing faster and stronger. The loneliness that plagued her heart at night for familiarity of home was gone. Now there was someone to relate to here and keep her from feeling like an outsider among the pack. "I'll stay with you Kiki and we can show all of the wolves in this land just how strong and diligent Ashrelle royalty is." He then spoke with a playful wink that issued out a soft chuckle from the black lining of her lips. "Yes, now those who live here will have an idea of how the Ashrelle bloodline does things." Returning the show of affection she let the surface of her tongue glide over the fur of his cheek before rising to her feet. There was business to be settled now. Her brother needed to please the alphas and gain acceptance.
