It was times like this when an over abundance of emotion proved to be nothing but a hindrance. For they clouded the mind when it was clarity that was called for and essential. Anann’s visage was one of etched stone. Stern and Calculating as Jazper told her of Anu’s condition. Though the description he gave tore at the tender spot in her heart for the elder wolfess and gave fuel to anger, Anann gave no more sign than the tightening of her jaw and the slight twitch of a lip as it threatened to curl in disgust. As warrior, she knew what it was that she would have to do. She would help the Dreaming leader in any fashion she could, but it was obviously not a task to be taken alone. If the feat were that easy Anu would surely be freed already.
The Crimson Dreams knight had her full attention and so it wasn’t until he cleared his throat that Anann was aware of Anatoliy’s approach. It was probably humorous to watch as the two conversing wolves both turned their heads to look at the large Russian. Anann’s was a look of mild surprise, though it quickly softened as a smile crept across her maw. Though Jazper’s call had been for her she was not surprised that Toliy had chosen investigate as well. After all, he was still rather cautious and protective of her after all they had been through recently. She couldn’t blame him.
Before she had a chance to introduce them Jazper gave answer to question concerning the strength of the guardians. ”Ten? Hmm, that doesn’t sound too bad.” After all, it could certainly be much worse and in all honest Anann was used to being up against much larger forces, but then that was also while having a sizable army of her own. Which was a luxury she no longer had and she certainly didn’t know enough warriors herself to put together a party of equal strength to the guardians. It would not be easy, but she did not think it would prove all to difficult to amass a force large enough to give them fair standing against these so called Guardians.
Once introductions were complete Anann gave Anatoliy a soft, reassuring smile. Moving to stand beside him, her hand reached for his. There was worry in her heart for what this might come to mean for her own pack. She had yet to regain her strength and confidence after all Keese had put her through.
