[b]Perenelle[/b]

Perrie's intent gaze on the young girl facing her faded into a smirk. The sassy remarks from the girl caused a boisterous laugh. Her hand clenched then rested on top of the knife sticking out of her pocket. She could not believe the words she had just uttered. Was she joking? Had a death wish? Wanted to leave? That wouldn't happen. Perenelle sauntered over to her with a grin and took the young girl's chin in her hand. Her sharp blue eyes gazed down at her with ferocity and amusement. Before she could say or move, however, the rest of the Wolves arrived.  Perrie pulled her hand away roughly enough to leave a mark and moved over to see Xander and the others.

The kneeling and bowing Wolves before her made her grin. This was all she had ever wanted. Loyal, faithful servants; Xander's devotion and kindness; the people at her mercy. Her heart fluttered. It couldn't be anymore perfect, could it? Devon had told her that it would be wonderful. He wasn't kidding. Perrie looked down at them and then over to their haul. The three deer must have been from Vanitas - his hunting skills were impeccable. Of course, Xander had helped. She nodded her approval at the weapon and supplies. The jeeps and truck were remarkable to come by in this age. Most of them were hidden or too damaged to use. She couldn't be prouder of this group. They had learned well. Then, when Xander mentioned the dress, she let out a gasp. It was a deep purple - one of her favorite shades, and was v-neck with a lace back. She smiled broadly as she picked it up and looked at him. 

"[b]Thank you, black-wolf. I appreciate it[/b]." She turned to address the full group. "[b]This is an amazing haul. Way to go, ladies and gent. You all can take the night off except for Amelia.[/b]" She moved in front of Xander. For a second it was if she might kiss him. Then, she patted his cheek with appreciation and looked over at the others. "[b]We'll definitely enjoy our feast[/b]." Perrie gazed at Amelia and stared at her without blinking. "[b]Except for you[/b]," She gestured for the Wolves to stand and then crossed over to the girl. 

"[b]This one[/b]," she told the others and glanced at Xander, "[b]decided to sas me off.[/b]" Laughter filled the room as a result of knowing what happened if that occurred. There had to be an extra step in this process. The regular punishments weren't working as properly. "[b]Not only will Amelia not eat tonight, but if she does it again, we'll whip her pretty little face[/b]." Perrie pointed to the supplies and deer with a grin. "[b]Set these away, ladies and gent, then clean up for our feast that Amelia's going to prepare in a half-hour. I hope the chicken's ready right now, Amelia. Also - Black Wolf, why don't you join us?[/b]"

Perenelle sat down at the table once the deer were removed and waited.
