This was the way of their conversations, fun and light to something serious. But Mati did not find it odd or uncomfortable. She moved fluidly as the pages turned, and hopped from one to the other. She hadn't thought that Strel would wish to be more then just an even ranking wolf as she herself felt was her proper place. She had no true desire to be beyond the others in the pack, she had no taste for disciplining or being looked to as an alpha. Of course there was so much more to it, the benefits great. But Mati had seen her own birth mother fall from that pedestal, she saw the hardships first and foremost.
Do you have a history with the King? She wondered, curious about this past he spoke of. Perhaps if she understood that she would be able to understand how to help him.
She had wished he had seen Alder, but the two wolves were very different. It was a long shot. Her heart sank slightly, but he was right. If he hadn't heard anything bad about him then that was good. No news was generally good news. She nodded her head, Do look out for him, for me. She asked, just in case he saw him.
She smiled, honest and soft with the memories of the things that did make her happy. Yes. She replied, the vision of her beloved passing over her mind's eye. The world was hard at times, but she knew that she could rely on Cambria. She knew that the chocolate woman would always be there for her, and she may be fragile but she was a source of strength for Mati non the less. You need to be happy too. Mati said, thinking of his trouble among the Court's ranks, thinking of Noss and of the way she looked when speaking about him.
