Kosses's own comfortable, relaxed pose put Black Ice at ease, and her hackles remained flat, where once they would have risen and a play for dominance would have ensued. Now, instead of such a scene playing out, she settled her own haunches to the ground, her thick tail wrapping around her left side. She studied the other curiously, listening without speaking. A pleasantly blank look was in her eyes as she contemplated what was said, what was asked of her... Did she want to leave the Tundra? Silver Mist had taken her in when she'd sorely needed stability in her life, had offered her sanctuary when no others had granted it, least of all the lights. Did Kosses even know of her background? of her Black Magic heritage? she doubted it, it wasn't something she revealed to many. Only Mist truly knew exactly what Ice was, and she seriously doubted her alpha had divulged that information to anyone else.
When Kosses had finished, Black Ice remained silent for a time, thinking over the situation, and the request of the other. Finally, she inhaled deeply, and turned troubled eyes to the other. "Silver Mist has been all i've known in an Alpha. She took me in, when your own lands would have rejected me in fear and rage. I do not blame you for that, had I been in your position, and someone like myself sought safey within these lands, i would have turned me away too." Having known this, even back then, Ice hadn't even attempted to seek refuge within the West Wing. "you are asking me to betray my closest friend, and I'm sorry... but I cannot do that." Her eyes flickered with remorse. But there was no way she could leave Mist, not now, not when the Pack was only just reforming.
A moment passed as Black Ice thought on the matter some more. When she'd come to an internal decision, her amber orbs met Kosses's purple ones. "If the Evil wolves return, I will lend you my aid... I will fight alongside you, and do my best to ensure the West Wing remains in your control. But i will not call these lands home." She couldn't, and if Kosses knew of her past, the other would understand why.
