She had taken it upon herself to escort a near yearling, old enough to manage herself, home and had decided to detour to Willow Ridge? Well that explained the length the journey but not why nobody was notified of her intentions. It wasn't just inconsiderate, it was outright insubordination. Something somewhere snapped. "Tell me, Leotie, do you wish to challenge for my position?" She didn't wait for an answer before she lashed out to grab at the woman's muzzle, a deep and feral growl ripping through her throat as she locked gold eyes on blue and pushed down on any purchase she had found. Hoping her message had been made clear, she relinquished her hold but continued to stand over the woman, her tail curved high, her voice barely above a gravelly whisper, increasing in intensity just like a rattlesnakes coil. This was all about that boy, wasn't it? Why delay the inevitable...
"A wolf from the Ridge murdered my mate, wolves that lived by that lake stole my children, tell me, what do I owe them? Why should we go out of our way to help them?" She allowed her words a moment to sink in. "We won't need allies days away in our hour of need. We need bodies here." As for speaking to Enoki on behalf of the pack? Her snort was enough to betray her full range of emotions on that front. "You barely speak too me, what on earth makes you qualified to speak for me?" She would sooner send Treyah on any attempts at diplomacy, at least the girl wouldn't be walked all over like the wolf before her had been in the bend. Pulling herself back from the subordinate with a show of her teeth for good measure, a high pitched peeping came to her ears from within the den. Her voice low and dangerous she threw a parting message over her shoulder. "If you're so in love with the Ridge, perhaps you should run off and beg them to let you join." Since that was so obviously where her true loyalties lay. "Show her out @Kerberos, make sure the rest of them know." She would speak to Kerberos again once her children were fed and his own looked in on. These were the only babies she should have to mind herself with sitting.
