Aesire was taking it to herself to be sociable with all of the wolves in the pack with an extra emphasis on the pups. She had never really conversed with Celandine, Takis, or Evy but she had heard their names and she had seen some of them at the sparring tournament. She felt the need to introduce herself though she knew that she should have done it quite a long time ago. She had felt like she shouldn't talk to the pups when she had first joined because she was new and no wolf knew her and no doubt the King would be protective over his children however, at this point, meeting them and talking to them as a must. She was leading alongside their father for the time being and so she figured knowing them might help her settle into the position until a worthy wolf was to take her place.

She did not call for them but instead she scouted around for herbs while secretly searching for one or more of the children to talk to. She had taken a point to not seeing or talking to Ace or Heigen that day so she could talk to more packmates she might not know yet. There were so many of them within the pack. The earthy tone woman poked around the main den while searching for an herb by the name of ergot which happened to grow in the area. The woman liked to be prepared for all cases. Her emerald eyes were focused and when she found the plants, she picked them and buried them at the base of a tree just off of the main den. She then searched around the main den to see if she could find a wolf to converse with. The wolves in particular she was interested in: Celandine, Takis, or Evy.

Aesire had been raised differently than most wolves in the pack as her customs and general rules had been quite different in Heartbreaker Col than they would have been most everywhere else. When she saw the princess she bowed her head in greeting and respect as words rumbled out of her mouth. "Good morning Celandine." The words kept at an appropriate level as she spotted the princess cloaked in a white cape and crown who was obviously not very thrilled to see the leader. Had the tension spread all the way down t the pups? Aesire was no fool and she knew she was not particularly well liked but she would try her best to change that anyway. With a deep breathe she prepared to speak again.

It was quite clear that Aesire had been raised differently by the fact that she was going to respect and show such respect to the royal pups as she had been shown herself. A princess by birth, Aesire had been raised a princess with love and adoration for all of her once future subjects. Aesire knew that one day these pups were going to come for the throne and at that time, she would probably hand it over willingly. They were Argyis wolves and direct descendants of Phineas himself. They had a natural right to the throne which she did not quite hold. She hoped that this princess would just hear her out in that regard and perhaps she could get the hatred to simmer down a bit with the words she was going to say. "I hope you have been faring well although that is not quite what brings me here. I have an important matter to discuss with you."

It probably would have been better if Aesire had let Phineas handle these matters with his own children but she had been too curious to pass up the opportunity to the young pups that were still growing – no doubt Phineas had the opportunity to talk to Hypatia about it already. “Princess Celandine, I wanted to talk about your training, particularly in the arts of fighting and leadership. How much experience have you had?” The conversation that Aesire had planned for the princess and herself involved a two way conversation, not just Aesire talking to the young wolf. Aesire held no illusions about the young wolves that held the last name Argyris. She assumed them, as royalty, to be seeking leadership as she had when she had become of age back in Heartbreaker Col. She had gone through over a year of vigorous training in order to even consider herself capable of leading though now that she thought back to it, she did not use most of it.

“I know you don’t know me and I’m just some stranger to you but I’d like to help you prepare. I went through extensive training to become alpha of my birth pack before unfortunate circumstances brought that dream to an end. I can teach you if you’ll let me.” She could only hope that the young princess would not turn down the offer presented to her. Aesire was very serious in the matter and she did not hide that fact as she kept her face tense and secure in her serious mood. Her emerald eyes had/b> a steely but friendly gaze. “After all, one day, when you come of age, you will be leading.” She left out the thought that Takis or Evy could be leading but she would probably bring that up if Celandine questioned her about it. She stood there as she awaited the princess’ response in hopes it was not a bitter ‘I don’t need your help’ type of response. She was just offering to help.

The princess seemed very keen and Aesire had not thought about the information that she had just provided the young girl with. When the girl asked the question, Aesire knew she had made a mistake. The queen could also lie like Celandine had but she held a bit of truth to her words but kept it vague. "I had a falling out with my parents over something I refused to do and so they decided to give the right to rule to my brother D'Nai. That was when I came here though at the time I had no intention of holding a prestigious position - took up the opportunity solely because it was presented." She hoped she had provided an adequate answer though she left out the fact that she had killed her fiancee and had been exiled. The pup did not need to know these facts.

It seemed like there was a certain tension in the air between the two of them. The princess had made it quite clear when she had arrived that she was going to show the queen no respect and that she did not like her. That was fine, most of the femmes in the pack seemed to have that reaction towards her, but she would offer her help anyway. If Celandine chose not to take it than Aesire would be on her way. If she did decide she could use some practice with Aesire then the woman would be eager to help especially since Phineas was very busy. Aesire was busy but she also did not have four kids to care for... yet.

Slowly but surely the princess would agree to take the help that Aesire was offering to give. She smiled and gave a small nod. The young girl would quickly add that she wanted to keep this entire thing secret and she didn't want another wolf to know. Aesire was starting to understand that Celandine had a certain pride and training with the new queen was not something that she wanted to let out. "Of course, Princess Celandine, it'll be our little secret." She promised these words which sealed the deal between them. With a deep breathe, she fell into concentration and then realized she would need to know about the training the princess has had before she could even begin to look at this and make a proper display.

"Before we start, we should head out to a more secluded place since you want to keep it a secret. Also, I do need to know what you know so far so I'm not boring you with things you already know." Her words were listed off in a focus like what a teacher had where they would list off the assignments before class was to begin. She started off, hoping the princess would follow her to find a spot less populated then the pack den which most wolves visited regularly during the day. There was a smile on her face as she considered what it was she should do first. She expected Celandine to follow her and talk about what she already knew as they walked on.
