Two Worlds into One

Regulus gave a gentle smile, nodding at Sterling’s honest responses. He’d always been a good judge of character, and with his experience in leading, that innate ability had only become more refined. He knew she wouldn’t betray the pack without being forced to, certainly, and he was content with that. And, he could, admittedly, say that he wouldn’t be upset if she decided to stay as a full-on member of the pack.

As she introduced herself, he smiled easily, sketching a light bow as he answered in kind, “I am Regulus Anatolli Adravendi. It is my pleasure to meet you as well.” Now that the serious part was passed, some of that mask that was the Archangel fell away to reveal the friendly, playful nature below, and as he straightened, a soft *ahem* from the mist turned his head.

“And this is my daughter, Aurielle. I’ll send her along with you two, alright Paladin?” At a nod from the young healer, who had already begun to ease his weight into the breast strap of the travois, he dipped his head even as his young daughter ghosted from the mist to join them.

“I have a patrol to continue, and Aurielle’s lesson is complete for today, so I’ll leave you to it. For now, Sterling, you will be ranked as a Unit, which is our common rank, since I have no set guest rank for the pack. Focus on getting well.”

He gave her a last easy smile before turning and slipping into the mist, rump slightly bouncing until he was completely hidden from sight.
