The sound of the Typhoon captain's voice made her ears perk forward, the winged feline felt a sudden rush of hope and a flutter in her chest but she bit down on her tongue having to remind herself that if she didn't play by Stryker's rules then her kin would be threatened, their lives hung on a thread that could be broken by her sharp words if she was not careful. Be smart, Sophiea. She thought to herself as she rose to her paws making sure to groom down her fur so she wasn't some ruffled mess when she presented herself to Goldenluxury, Sophiea would have to be careful of her clanmates as well seeing as they would not hesitate to run their mouths. Maybe if she entertained the tigress with conversation and false news then the captain would be on her way in her time even if the winged feline wished that the other could stay, she knew that it would be dangerous for her here. If only these threats pressed onto her cousin didn't weigh her down and she could speak sharply like she usually did.
A soft sigh left her as the femme walked over with both tufted ears would perk forward. Her trademark scowl on her maw as she spoke in a sarcastic voice laced with playful undertones "Or perhaps you're too attached to us swamp folk, my captain." Eventually, a smile slipped onto her facial features as she took a few more steps forward only to notice a small creature next to the tigress did she present herself with a light nod of her cranium "Sophiea Pendragon. It's nice to see you once again, Goldenluxury, and I see you brought someone else." Sophiea supposed that she would have to make an excuse for Tanglewood's sudden disappearance from the meeting and just in general not interacting with the Typhoon. Luckily, Sophiea had her ways of being believable so this wouldn't be much of an issue and besides, she could always turn the subject to something else to benefit herself despite how selfish it is.
Raising a nonexistent eyebrow, Sophiea would say with a slow nod of her cranium "I do apologize for not writing as of late, we've been rather busy around here. Vigenere has fallen ill and other's have been getting sick due to it as well. So, it would probably be in your best interest not to dwell for too long if I were you, captain." She would adjust her wings to the sides as she let out an exhausted sigh as she kept her sharp yet tired gaze on the tigress watching her expression to see any changes, the tone that the smaller woman had used had been solemn and stoic with words laced with exhaustion. She wanted to show the other that she didn't wish to dwell on the subject of spreading sickness within her group as she glanced away with empty eyes and ears pressed flat against her skull yet that emptiness was due to her lying to someone that she had opened up to.
It wasn't safe here for either of them as she bit down on her lip as she asked with a small frown "Did my recent letter get to you? I sent my owl in such a rush that I might have startled the poor lad. He took my ribbon with him by accident." Concern filled her voice though she could only briefly feel the warmth touching her cheeks yet it was short lived as she continued to lie, it was wrong to do so... But Eternalknight's life hung by a thread and if she was not careful, his death would be on her paws. Her ears perked forward waiting for a response, she figured that she would sit down for now and converse with the captain yet she kept her distance not wanting the sound of her palpitating heart to give away anything. You big idiot. You and your caring for others will only get you into a mess. She thought bitterly as her pupils narrowed down into tiny slits only to glance down at her muddy paws, But it is better than being a shrew little woman like me... Lying to a friend that is more than dear to me.
Breaking away from her own thoughts of guilt, Sophiea would speak "But enough about me and Tanglewood... I hope that the Typhoon is doing well aside from our absence." There was a pause before she added with another slow nod "Once I make sure that all is well here, I'll go over to the Typhoon and deliver gifts. I'm sure you'd enjoy a few books or so," That was reassuring and given the tone of her voice, she was very serious about it all. She would have to bring it up to him as much as she disliked the thought, her claws digging into the soil underneath her. That lion infuriated her if she had been quicker and stronger... She could've ended him with an arrow to the skull. She shoved those thoughts away not wanting to become angry in front of the tigress, after all, that would give it all away and Eternalknight... He would be no more.
And it'd be her fault.
