Allen felt as though he had been filled with new purpose. He was unsure how his next meeting with Bass would go, but he felt comforted in the fact that he would be with family. The fact that his family was with him, his beloved Nona and children just added to make him feel at ease. The calico gentleman would breathe in, sitting in the territory of the weeping woods. He had made a promise to Arian, and, the calico gentleman was not going to break that promise. He would lift a brow, scenting the air. Ahh, this place seemed so magical. Things here were quiet, almost peaceful. Allen couldn’t imagine what it would be like had they stayed back at the other lands. But he was glad they moved, even more glad that they were on friendly terms with Fiori. Sonticus’ small size worried him a bit after all. Lost to his own thoughts, the man would sit alone.

With a Capital T It had taken her.... a while to adjust. She had been absent as many had noticed even her children and husband. She had spent some time thinking to herself, and now she knew it was time. She no longer could hold the burden of being a leader, not when she endangered her people and even worse caused herself so much stress. Until Rivaxorus was old enough they needed someone else to run the ranks. She knew that she had spoken to Allen about it beforehand. Many knew Allen, liked him. He was the most prime choice for a temporary alpha. Arian spotted the man, sitting alone. She had given his children and wife medicine to make them better. Nothing too hard on them. As the swaying of the trees continued she smiled and approached the male. "Allen.... I need to talk to you." it might have been too soon since she had been gone but, it was now or never. There was no need to cross up time. "Talk"

Allen would lift his head, direction his attention towards Arian as she approached. The femme would speak, saying that she needed to speak with him, and Allen would give a nod of his head, motioning for Arian to speak. “But of course, Arian. Have a seat and let us chat.” Allen would sat gently, curling his tail around his paws. His musings could wait for now. He was going to give his full attention to his relative. “I can’t thank you enough for helping my family by the way. I’m glad that I ran into you when I did.” Allen would offer a warm smile. “What’s on your mind?” Was it about changing hands, so soon? Allen was more than ready to bear the task, though part of him felt bad that Arian felt she was not a capable leader. "Hear Me Talk," 'Read My Thoughts.'

With a Capital T Arian wanted to get it over with quickly. What she thought of herself didn't matter much. After all, her vision could easily be corrected or swayed. As he thanked her she would shake her head, if it was anything she wanted to treat her family well. "Walkers are cursed with misfortune. I want to do my best to support the ones that are still around." and as for Sin. She wouldn't even want to speak the man's name after this. "I was thinking... it's time. I'm sure you've noticed my absence, and you've gotten to settle a little. I want you to become Sonticus' soul until Rivaxorus is a year old to hand it over to him. I know it's a lot to ask, but.... I'm done being a leader. Not that I was fit in the first place. This is probably the fourth time I've tried giving a pack up. It's clear that I don't REALLY want to be a leader." Maybe in her head she did. The idea of being in control was better than actually being the one in the position. It caused nothing but pain, and the burden it settled on her shoulders she didn't want to push onto Allen. "Even if Sonticus is small and weak. I want it to be a sanctuary for the adravendi and walker family." she looked off into the distance. "I've made enemies we shouldn't but maybe... staying quiet and minding our own business is something you'd be good at. You ran Abaven for a little while didn't you. So that's another reason I want to trust you with this." Arian let a toothy grin settle on her face. "Talk"

Allen would give a small nod as Arian spoke. Yes, the Walkers were certainly cursed with misfortune. He had foolishly believed that after Hajime’s death that his own misfortune was over... But the journey away from Abaven had painfully reminded him of it. He would breathe in, tilting his head to the side as Arian continued to speak on. Yes... Her absence. He had noticed it. Though he hadn’t said much about it to Nona it had worried him a little. “If you feel that it is time to give up Sonticus then it is time, Arian.” Allen would say gently. “I definitely want us to be a sanctuary for our families. I’m more than willing to help you towards that goal, and to help keep the pack stable until Rivaxorus is old enough to take over.” His eyes would take a slightly pained look at the mention of Abaven again. “Yes, I did. It was something that I had managed at least there as well. I will help take care of our enemies should they rear their heads, but in the meantime I will help maintain. You have my word that there will be no changes to this pack without your say so.” "Hear Me Talk," 'Read My Thoughts.'

With a Capital T The woman would let out a small sigh of relief. It felt like the world was being released off of her shoulders. Now no matter what happened though, she wanted to be there for her family that she had made. Arian would lower her head a little, did she feel at peace? "The only thing I wish for is to be lead healer." she laughed a little bit. A small portion of power might have still been on her brain. She leaned into Allen for a moment, her right shoulder into his left. "I think the kids will be happy to have you around too. Rivaxorus' brother in the flesh. It's exciting." her crystal eyes sparkled as she looked at Allen. The stories of the walker family had always fueled her. The little piece of her that her father left behind. The granddaughter of Niana Tokoto, would always stand to reason she loved history and she loved generations of stories that it left behind. "Talk"

Allen would breathe in. He was now the Soul of Sonticus, and he’d be damned if he let anything happen to a pack that wanted to be a safe haven for not only his family, but a family that was closely entangled with his own. Allen would chuckle softly as Arian made her request. “You might have retired from alphaship, Arian, but I promise you that does not mean I’m suddenly going to treat you as some low commoner or anything. The position is yours, as it rightfully should be.” He would help support her as she leaned into him, his dark gaze thoughtful as she spoke again. #063f1d“I don’t know if I’m really that exciting.” The man would confess. “Heck, I’ve even made a number of mistakes in my time. I don’t know if I’d really be the best to learn from, but I’d sure try to be a proper role model for them.” Allen would close his eyes. “...Do you really feel I deserve this position, Arian? Even if only temporary?” He’d ask. “Not that I’m turning away from responsibility. I’m happy to play the role of Soul of Sonticus. I just... Sometimes I wonder if I’m really the gentleman I’d like to think I am.” He’d open his eyes, giving a soft sigh. "Hear Me Talk," 'Read My Thoughts.'
