slid yourself on over

Gerhardt couldn't help but wonder what made Cynrik tick. He often thought about how and why his members worked the way they did. He wished he had time to spend with each of them and learn of their history and their plans for the future, but unfortunately.. the duties of a King did not often allow for such time. Still, he knew he had been overworking himself lately, and perhaps he could talk to those he considered himself close with and at least further his relationship with them. But for now, all attention remained on the subject at hand, Cynrik. The man would go further to agree with Gerhardt's terms, but also would add on his own request, ironically for the lady Loccian. She had not showed up for the last hunt, and Gerhardt had later heard that she was not skilled in those areas. However, Cynrik simply wanted her along for safety, and Gerhardt could hardly refuse him. "A wise suggestion. She is certainly still with us, and I'm sure she'd love to go and ensure the party's safety. I believe I shall send Maverick with you as well, and Kamala if she would like to go. They could use some experience hunting with a group." He knew that they would behave accordingly, but made no mention of Valkis. Gerhardt still questioned his motives and frankly, his choices in life, and was not prepared to let his son go running off with a group of hunters for the simple fear that he might not return. Whispers of depression and insanity had reached his ears, and until he could sort all of that out he would not send Valkis out on anything more than a walk to the beach. "I wish you and your company good luck tomorrow, Cynrik." The south was plentiful when it came to prey, and Gerhardt was certain that even in the heat of summer, prey animals would be easy to come by. His pack would feast tomorrow, of this he was sure. With a flick of his tail, the king would stretch his body upward into a standing position and pivot toward another part of the territory, meaning to leave unless Cynrik had further business to discuss.

Exit Gerhardt unless stopped.
