Syrenia walked the corridors of the Castle, her white dress trailing behind her, the skirt moving lazily as she took slow advancements down the hallways, thoughts; like a plauge covering her mind.
War was always hard on a race-- but for were-wolves... It tended to be devistating. it wasn't like Silver bullets were hard to come across now a days. Infact, she'd heard many of the opposing races making all of their weapons out of Silver. With no readable emotion on her face, she continued down the corridor, her saphire eyes darting from portrait to portrait.
Folding her arms she stopped and stared for long moments at a time out of the window.

Silently walking down the halls in his human form, Jake searched around for Syrenia. He was very much concerned for her, and Rina at the moment. Upon finding his leader, Jake cleared his throat, tentatively approaching her from the side. "Lady Syrenia..." Why was he so hesitant to talk about this? Oh, that's right. It really was none of his business... "Mind if I have a word with you, this won't take long..."
Standing with his hands clasped together behind his back, he frowned. Things were just getting too wierd around here for his liking, and he needed her assurance on several matters.

Syrenia turned to Jake and raised an eye brow, her human form looking elegant; as usual. "Jake, You know I preffer for you to call me Syrenia. " She laughed "You adressed me as 'Lady Syrenia'." She frowned breifly, knowing that this would be something of importance "Of course, I always have time for you Jake." She blinked "What's bothering you?"
She'd known him long enough to know something was wrong-- He seemed on edge... like he was nervous to approach ehr with whatever he was going to say.... What was up?

Laughing softly, he nodded. "True, my apologies..." He always addressed her formally when he was nervous, though. "Well... Rina is still suffering from Lupus' death, I'm afraid... As we all are... But it seems to be hitting her rather harshly... She does not want another fatherly figure, and destests all vampires without question..." His voice trailed off, not really wanting to say what was on his mind... "..."

Syrenia, being no fool understood what he was getting at without seccond thought. "We all miss Lupus." She paused and looked at Jake, her expression still un-readable "Jake, what's really on your mind?" She frowned shortly "It is about the cemetary the other night isn't it." She shook her head "Jake, it's not un-like me to kiss people." She looked at him Her saphire hued eyes shimmering mischeviously "But I understand your concern. Let me assure you that that... That he, is only some one the Lycans should be grateful to. I was merely overwhelmed and acted unaccordingly."
She sighed and blinked at Jake again "Unless you were hinting on something else." She laughed lightly and put a hand on his cheek while looking deeply into his eyes.

Staring at her with a frown, he nodded at her words. "It is not my business, I know... But I am more concerned with Rina, more then anything... Already two vampires have entered our lands, and you know she disapproves of that, no matter how kind they are..." That was what was really bothering him... "I know Adrias to be a good enough man, but I doubt my words will be taken into consideration... It's your daughter's sake I'm worried about, Syrenia..."
With a smirk, he shook his head when she had touched his cheek. "Despite my...marital status, I am happy with what I have right now... But honestly, it is Rina that I worry for... Please, Syrenia, watch your actions concerning vampires for the time being, for her sake at least..."

Syrenia nodded and blinked away "I understand how she feels..." Her voice faded "And We'll never beat the damn army of them if we don't get help." She looked at him, her eyes glazed over with tears "I try to rule fairly and be the best mother I can be.... But my first obligation is to the people, as is hers." She frowned and let a silvery tear slide down ehr cheek "how have I become so lost? Lupus alway knew how to handle these things...." She frowned, dissapointed at her own lack of controll over her emotions-- But, Jake was someone she wasn't afraid of crying infront of-- he'd helped her since the day Lupus had died.
"I..." She shook her head, hardly knowing what to do "I just want us to win this damned war... So we can return things to the way they were...."

With a sigh, he nodded. "I understand how you feel, Syrenia... I don't know what to do about it as well... But, we'll get through this, like we always have. No doubt Sir Moonfang shall come through for us again..." And he had no problem with having been saved by a vampire... "And perhaps Adrias, as well, counting he finds the courage..." He didn't know what to say to cheer her up... "But for what it's worth... I think you're doing a good a job as any of us could pull off, Syrenia... We're still here... Even after Lupus' departure... I don't think anyone else had the strength you do."

She blinked up at him, tears continuing to stream from her eyes. "Then why do I continuously make the wrong decisions?" Her voice was weak, and momentarily her eyes looked hollow... She hurt so badly-- God, every day she woke up knowing Lupus wouldn't be there to hold her as she cried; to help her raise their daughter... To Walk with her and take the weight off of her shoulders with a simple smile.... She just felt so empty now-- A shell of what she once was.
"it's so hard to be kind to everyone when everyone dissaproves at the same moment..." She began to tremble slightly and closed her eyes, only to see a image of Lupus that had burned itself into her memory. She choked back a sob... Those damned vampires... They didn't drain him. No-- They tore him from limb to limb.... She shook her head... Trying to get the thoughts away-- if she'd only been stronger, maybe she couldn've saved him....
"I act strong." She murmered, lifting her hands to her face, letting how truely shaken she was be shown for the first time since his death.

Frowning, he bit his lip... "Syrenia... I don't want to do this... But... Please forgive me..." And with that being said, he slapped her cheek. Not hard, mind you, just enough to wake her up from the delirium... "If you had made the wrong decisions, then we would not be around to talk about it... Our race would have been wiped out, none the less. And these are troubled times for us all, but it is in you that others find thier strength to carry on. Even if Lupus is not here, I'm sure he is smiling down upon you for your accomplishments thus far..."

Syrenia blinked at him and allowed one of her hand to touch her cheek. She nodded and lifted a sleeve to wipe away her tears "You're right Jake..." She moved her hand from her cheek to his shoulder "Thank-you." She blinked again, looking out the window at the sunny court yard "Perhaps..." She paused momentarily admiring it's beauty "Perhaps you're right Jake." She sighed and smiled faintly "I hope he is...." she frowned "I hate that Katrina must go through this...." she shook her head "Jake.... When the war begins, I don't want you to Leave Rina. No matter what sort of danger I am in." She blinked at him, her saphire eyes pleading.

Frowning in discomfort at what he had just done, he stood with his hands behind his back and at 'attention.' Following her gaze to the window, he noticed how peaceful it seemed outside... Too bad reality was a drama fanatic... At her words though, his eyes snapped back to her. "But... Lady Syrenia... What about you? Surely I cannot allow you to venture off on your own..." His vow to protect her would not allow it. "Who will lead us if you should fall in battle?"

Syrenia frowned "I won't Venture off Jake... But should Rina and I be seperated she is your first priority." She murmered looking at him "Rina is the future of our race. She notioned out into the court yard where pups were play werestling "She is the key to our survival." She looked at him "And I would not be able to cope with my sorrow should she fall."

With a deep sigh, he nodded and looked away. "I... I understand..." He would not feel well if Syrenia did happen to die... No doubt Lupus would be staring at him questionably from above... No, they'd be alright... He'd make sure of it... Turning his gaze back towards her, he smiled lightly. "I'll just have to keep a better eye on you both then, huh?"

Syrenia laughed and blinked at Jake "Mhmm." She smled while looking out at the setting sun, feeling capivated by it's beauty "I'm going outside..." She murmered before smiling at him "Feel free to join me." She turned abruptly and walked down the hallway.
(hey, The Elves aren't going to go into the castle xD)

With a light nod, he followed her out of the castle. The scenery would be worth it, in his opinion... It'd take the stress out of things, for one...
(lol, alright)
