Aatya of Druids
"Wavering,
the threads between treason and loyalty
grow weak."

Aatya | Akashi | Female

Sleek dark fur with a midnight cerulean sheen gleamed against the daylight as it's bearer sat alongst some warm rocks, swiping her tongue over her paw with delicate, gentle strokes like a bird might preen it's feathers. Muscles rippled underneath her tapestry-patchwork coat, flexing with every swipe of her head. Her ears, pointed and aware of every sound, worked to listen and take note of each and every conversation occuring around her. They weren't her business -- yet -- so she wouldn't work to actively participate in them. She was content sitting pretty amongst the warm rocks above her own den, sharpening her claws and smoothening out her fur.
Who was this magnificent creature? My, well, that would be Aatya.
Her eyes, sharp and keen, skimmed over the likes of the camp and all the light that touched the earth. Yes, her camp. She didn't think it maliciously -- obviously, as a female, that dream was even further out of her reach than Alari's. But rather, the Druids were just as much of her jurisdiction as the other Shakira. Yes. That was her justification for those thoughts. And it satisfied her enough to earn the slightly smirk under the shadow of her muzzle, only to fade with the wind as her nose picked up the scent of one all-too familiar.
"Facilis," Aatya's voice rang out over the rocks as the dark male slinked past, his expression one that read as grim. Whatever could be the matter with him? Aatya, to be quite frank, didn't care all that much, but she was rather curious, "cheer up, dear, you're frowning again."
Facilis shot her a foul glare, before pinning back his ears and shaking his head. Within a second, Aatya watched as he put the mask back on, swiveling to face her with a shit-eating grin that rivaled that of her inner ego. If wolves had eyebrows, Aatya would quirk hers.
"Always curious on what I'm up to, Aatya," Facilis snickered, tilting his head, "are you trying to suggest something to me, beautiful? Because I--"
A bone went flying through the air, spiraling in arcs and smacking Facilis directly on the nose as Aatya snickered, exhaling sharply as she slowly rose to her paws. The bone being from the carcass of a pheasant Aatya was snacking on. When Facilis swiped away the residue of the marrow, he returned to look back up at the Shakira, but she was now sitting up, raising one paw to gesture away.
"Go make a victim out of another female," Aatya said, her tone polite despite the harshness within her words, "and stop assaulting me with that aweful stench of yours. A bath would do you well."
Facilis stared at her, his ears pinning back again. They locked eyes for a moment, with Aatya positively amused and Facilis less than satisfied. Whatever. Aatya knew he should've done better. Nobody outwitted Aatya with a mask -- her's was the most elusive of them all.
"Get going, Facilis."
As if she had commanded him -- though she did not -- Facilis began to skulk away into the trees, leaving Aatya on her own, still positioned above her den. She decided that she had enough preening for the day, however, and stood to the fullest extent of her height with a mighty stretch, pushing out her paws further away and yawning into the crisp morning air. It'd be a long day, and bullying Facilis was always an easy way to make it better. Omegas were too easy.
Why would it be a long day?
Tradition was being ravaged before Aatya's very eyes. And by a wolf that had abandoned Aatya in her greatest time of need, nevertheless. She exhaled slowly through her nose as she began to descend the rocks that were cradling the entrance to her home, the bushy length of her tail following in suit as she landed upon the level ground alongst the others of the pack. She offered one glance toward Alari's den, but merely looked away to go seek entertainment elsewhere.
Alari hadn't entertained her in a long, long time.
