Times, They Are A-Changin'

Rhythm stepped forward and nestled into his chest, and in a gesture that was becoming as reflexive as it had been when they were young, Valentine bent down and wrapped her up into a hug. He stole a kiss as she pulled away and only his exuberance over the topic of discussion stopped him from pulling her back.

He chuckled in response to her words and then launched into a run down of what was happening. "My son Chaos recently fought for a pack and won. He's decided to bring the pack south and claim some of the old Imperium lands. I believe he's taking The Knolls and The Range." He didn't know if Chaos planned on taking The Orchard one day or not, but he had half a mind to start patrolling it and lump it into their territory. It was theirs, after all.

"He gave me the choice between staying as a rogue and joining, and I've decided to join." More or less? Yes, he was joining and yes, he would support his son and aid him in any way he could, but he had no intention of behaving like one of Chaos' followers. He just couldn't.

This was the hard part. Valentine didn't know if Rhythm remembered Chaos well, but something she had to know was that Legion would be much more like Imperium than Abaven or any of the other soft packs. She'd lived in Imperium for awhile and adjusted to their ways, but that was before her captivity. He couldn't be certain she would be willing to do it again. "I've been thinking about this a lot. You know that I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and I think the best way to ensure your safety would be for you to join Legion as well."

He was quick to explain his reasoning. "If I know one thing about Chaos it's that he will surround himself with strong fighters. You may not be his mother but he knows how precious you are to me. I have no doubt that he will see to your security." The corners of his mouth lifted slightly in a wry smile. "And I'm sure he'll leave a solid crew behind to take care of the pack when we go after the slavers. I bet I could even twist his arm and get you a security detail while we're gone." Knowing she was safe during their raid would allow him to focus on the fighting.

Valentine leaned back so he could get a good look at Rhythm's face and see if he could get a feel for where her mind was at. "What do you think?"
