Umbra's offer came as a shock. It was a proposition that Alexey needed to think about; she couldn't simply come up with an answer right off the bat. Adelaida, on the other hand, apparently had thought about it before. Her sister's answer was swift and effortless. Meanwhile, the tawny femme stood there agape. She was being put on the spot, and although that probably had not been their intention, she still felt pressured to reply right away. Her golden gaze then turned to Adelaida, looking to find the right answer in her sister's sparkling cerulean eyes. She hadn't seen her littermate this motivated in a long while, and it made her happy to see that Ade was finally cheering up. Happy and yet, a little jealous. Why hadn't she been able to cheer her up too?
Deep inside, Lexey knew she wasn't like Umbra and her sister. Accepting this offer meant that she would have to betray their trust. After all, she was friends with their so-called enemy. And she had planned on telling Adelaida about it, but upon seeing her reaction with the whole den situation, she had chickened out. Today wasn't the time to do so, anyway. Alexey could hardly see herself going "Okay, I'll stay with you guys. But can my freaky two-legged friends stop by once in a while to visit?" Bad idea. Forcing a smile upon her lips, the caramel-colored wolfess did what she thought was best at the time." "Sure. Why not?" A sudden pang of guilt resonated in her head, but she ignored it for the time being.
