"I'm not.. terribly familiar with the packs nearby..." Neither was he, really, which he supposed was kind of sad. He wasn't exactly falling down on the job; he was aware of his neighbors and had, in most cases, a basic understanding of what they were about, he'd just never made an effort to go any farther than that. There wasn't a need, really, to go any farther. Imperium had everything it needed and was strong enough to take care of itself. He didn't feel the need to pander to the alphas around him or make hasty alliances, so there wasn't much else to be done. And perhaps there was a little bit self-importance fueling his disinterest. He rather liked the idea of people coming to him instead of the other way around, of having the power and accepting or rejecting as he saw fit.
Oh, the southern continent? Fascinating! If not for his obligations in Imperium Valentine would have liked to take his time exploring those lands. He'd been all over the northern continent and while he hadn't seen everything, he'd seen the majority. The brute had heard all kinds of hard to believe tales about what existed across the sand. "Oh, I love Imperium. There are few things more precious to me than it." His kids of course where at the top of the list. "Founding it was the easily one of the scariest things I've ever done, but so worth it. My packmates are exceptional and it is a pleasure to live and work with them." Curiously he regarded her. "And what of you in Fiori? Is it still as Epiphron wanted it, still family-oriented and a uh," What was the word she'd used again? Communal? Hm.... "Democracy of sorts?"
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
