Since bringing Keira back from Sabertooth, Venus had made herself comfortable within Nightingale, as she promised their prior theta. She filled Amalthea in on that promise, but she seemed much more secluded, reserved over the past few moons. Venus worried, was she ok? Where was her mate, who she was supposed to rule with? Surely she would have been introduced by now. Her mind wandered aimlessly as she scoped out the pack lands, trying her best to learn all the spots with the herbs that she might need for remedies. Keira made sure to show her the basic ones, which were best for helping heal wounds, how to combat some basic symptoms such as fever and nausea, and the like. The cream lass was not bothered as she wandered, until a howl broke through the air. It wasn’t Amalthea, however. It was Hecate, a close friend of Amalthea. Why was she calling out for the meeting? Was there something wrong with the queen? Dropping the small bundle of herbs she had collected, the lass quickly sprint to the origin of the call.

Relief washed over her when her ocean blue eyes landed on Amalthea, a soft sigh of relief leaving her maw. Phew, she was okay, at least…physically. She looked quite sad. Tentatively, she stepped forward and moved to the other side of Hecate, who appeared that she would be leading this meeting. Venus bowed her head to the rainbow dracarae lass, whom she had only surface-level conversation with. Was she aware of the promise made between the planet lass and their prior theta? It was a conversation between the queen monokeros and herself, and given the relationship Venus observed between Amalthea and Hecate, she hoped something was said about the arrangement. ”Hecate, is everything alright?” Venus kept her eyes on the to-be queen as she slowly sat next to the other side of her. No one else was there upon her arrival, being that she was within Nightingale. She leaned to try to meet Amalthea’s gaze, her words soft. ”You okay, Amalthea?” Shortly thereafter, other wolves began to funnel in, many being new figures, to which Venus sat back and observed. She knew Hecate would eventually explain what was going on, but the theta could not help but worry.
