Seraphin listened carefully to the Queen's words. So they were a pack of female warriors? Glacier certainly hadn't mentioned that, only that females were the dominate gender of the pack. The Queens final words stung a bit, she had been judged so quickly for her petite frame, but the Queen was right, Seraphin was no fighter and never wished to be one. So then that began the problem. What could she contribute to the pack? Her mind raced to the conversation the Queen and Glacier had had moments earlier. When the Queen had told him to check on his siblings, and there had been a certain hint of concern in the females voice. "I know I am not a warrior. But perhaps I could help with the pups, be a nanny if you will. I have always loved to take care of young ones, took care of my own siblings when my parents went out hunting." Looking away for a moment as her nerves were beginning to get to her. "I know that it is not much to offer to a wolf as mighty as you."
"You can handle eight pups on your own then?" She questioned, for that would be what the job would entail, her six plus Thealia's two. "And you would not just be looking after any pups, but my own. One of which is the heir to this very pack." The Queen fell silent for a moment almost not wanting to say what she was about to. "And one is quite sickly. My heir she was born small, and had struggled with sickness ever since. She would need extra attention and care. Is that something you think you could provide knowing that seven other pups will be needing your attention as well?" As much as Penthesilea hadn't to admit it, the pack desperately needed a nanny, she couldn't keep pulling sisters away from their training and duties to attend to Orithia and the others.

Her heart sunk a bit, one of the pups was sickly, and the heir on top of that. Nodding her head confidently Seraphin for once no longer looked scared or unsure. "I know I could do it. Taking care of your pups and any others will be my life. Whatever they need I will provide them." Pausing for a moment before she added in. "If you will let me that is." Should the Queen say no, well then Seraphin would once more be on her way.
Penthsilea sat silently for a few moments merely staring at Seraphin. "It will be no easy task to undertake." And it would be hard to Penthesilea to fully trust her for now. "But I am willing to let you try your paw at it. Should you succeed then you may stay and become the packs nanny. Should you fail, you likely won't make it out of the pack lands." It was a threat and Penthsilea gave Seraphin and look to ensure she understood. "You will start immediately. I was on my way to check on my pups when I was called out here, so I can introduce them to you and cover all your duties as well." Standing she gave her fur a shake then motioned with her head for Seraphin to follow. "But know that even the pack nanny must undergo some warrior training for she must be able to defend the pups should an attack ever happen." Glancing over to look at the other female she saw her nod slowly. "Good, let us go, for you are already late for your duties." Leading the way Penthesilea headed back to the dens, explaining in more detail how things worked to Seraphin. She would officially introduce her to the pack later.
