It wasn't difficult to see that something seemed rather peculiar. Coming up from behind Tobias she looked over to see how Tetradore's focus remained solely on the unknown male, one that clearly held the stench of anxiety. It didn't help to soften the tension as her mate invaded Henry's personal space, grabbing that lock of hair in a clear display of showing dominance masked by an innocent show of curiosity. Standing behind his makeshift throne, she watched the encounter keeping a close eye on the deviant. It wouldn't do them any good if the leopard decided to attack their guest. As the boy explained what he deemed as his, a shy smile was given to her mate, blue-grey eyes shifting towards Henry, keeping her head low and holding herself up in a non-threatening way. It all just seemed too odd, to see her Alpha sitting so tensely. He was hardly the type to show his emotion. Concerned she attempted to calm everyone, but more importantly the stranger, hoping that her words would at least start the process of setting him an ease. Though that attempt was surely not going to happen. Not when Tetradore's blunt rebuttal took away any chance of keeping Henry, calm in this scenario. Hesitantly she looked over at her Alpha, flinching the moment their eyes met. Quickly looking away and down at her feet, obedient, not offering a rebuttal. Tetradore may have not appreciated her words, and they may not have reassured Henry, but the sight of Tobias looking calmly at her seemed to do something positive. With Tobias now sitting on his makeshift throne she was pleased to see he was not circling Henry any longer as if he were some fresh meat. Even better to see Henry not harmed.

Tobias was a creature that preyed on any kind of fear, and if she could lessen it on Henry, then perhaps Tobias would behave...a little bit better. Henry held his hands up, his palms open a wide, a familiar submissive gesture. He smelled even more scared than before...which was what she was trying to prevent in the first place. The mention of Henry being taken and it being complicated was quite puzzling. Though really it wasn't something that they needed to know the details. It wasn't surpsing when the Leopard decided to mimic Henry's submissive gesture, the boy learning what he could through copying. She couldn't help, but flinch again as Tetradore introduced her as Tobias's girlfriend. Was that the only thing that Tetradore truly saw her as? Just a girl that slept with his best friend? Did nothing else matter? Of course she was happy to be Tobias' mate, but she thought she was more than just that to the pack. Whether Tetreadore assumed that title would feel like an underestimate of her worth or not, hardly mattered now. It's what she would be remembered as now. If there was one member in her pack she would be concerned about biting a human it was Tobias. Even in her feral state if she bit a human she'd most likely kill them, all on accident of course. But to know that it was Tetradore that made an unlikely scenario happen, well that was rather unexpected.

With a new member joining them, it led the lupine to question just where was her place within the pack. When Nadya and Tobias were the Betas of the pack, Raven felt as if she were the Omega, being treated without the familiar abuse from her old pack. Trying to show her worth she prepared the meals, she attempted to learn how the Ark ran, and helped Tetradore with his business, trying to show she could be something more if another joined the pack, maybe getting a rank above them. With Nadya gone and Tobias being the only Beta everything felt fine, there was no struggle in knowing where she was. Regan was hardly ever around, the Were-Tiger was constantly appearing for a few weeks and then disappearing for a few months. Regan considered herself the enforcer of the pack, but how could she be if she was never around? Henry was created by an Alpha and that seemed to almost make him like in a son in a way. There was little to no chance she'd hold a rank above an Alpha's creation, and somewhere in the back of her mind was a low snarl that did not want to accept this change. She was already the only female in the pack, since Regan hasn't been around for quite a while, and she was the only Were that wasn't a feline. She was the odd man out and somewhere deep down, she felt like the outsider in a pack she had been in for years.

As Tobias handed out the pieces of candy, she took the chocolate from him with a small smile. Unwrapping one of the pieces she placed it in her mouth, listening to her mate inquire about Henry and the fighting ring. Whatever concern she had for Henry and the desire to keep him calm and comfortable was slowly being ebbed away, by a growing instinctual need to place herself above him. Internally she was struggling to keep that more wolfish side of herself calm, keeping herself behind Tobias' chair, not daring herself to get closer to him, afraid she would attack. Of course she would never harm him to where his life would be endanger, but Raven was feeling a bit tense and anxious now. She needed to pacify that primal desire inside, but how? She had never been in this situation before. Unsure she held onto the back of Tobaias' chair, gently voicing out her own inquires, perhaps a bit more reasonable than Tobias', and hopefully not something stupid that would disappoint her Alpha again.

"It's a full moon tonight. Is this his first change? Maybe instead of hunting together we could do something easier, like play...get him used to being a jungle cat?"
