"Right, yeah. Just figured there was something you should be aware of." Malleus' gaze had returned to the water, but that statement brought his attention back to Asharya in an instant. That wasn't a very promising preface. Being fully aware of his family's penchant for trouble, Malleus braced for the worst. While it didn't show on his face Malleus was quite relieved to hear what Asharya had to say. He'd expected to hear she may have inadvertently started a war or stolen a princess, or any other number of things that would have tested his skills as a leader. That his cousin had made a friend was (probably) harmless. "There's not much more to know than what I said at the last meeting," he mused. His gaze dropped to the water, his expression thoughtful as he considered whether or not Asharya's friendship could benefit the pack in some way. "Our agreement is fairly simple; they pay us in knowledge and we protect them from their neighbors and our adventurous kin. The rest, at least in my mind, is behind us. Is that what you mean," he asked curiously, "Or are you asking for details about what happened while you were gone?" "And as for this business of yours, is it permanently or temporarily taking you to Boreas?" He wouldn't be angered if it was the former. As far as he was concerned every Abraxas had a purpose and not every purpose was with the main body of Abraxas. If she was meant to be elsewhere that was simply the way it was. |
