Rallying the Troops

The first to arrive was Ashmedai. Valentine eyed him carefully and made a point to breathe deeply when he got close. If he so much as suspected that his son had filled up on something alcoholic before answering the call Valentine would ditch him in a heartbeat. He'd keep an eye on his son throughout the journey. So much as a sour whiff or a stumble and he'd chase his son back to Boreas or leave him in a hole somewhere to wait for their return. "Wouldn't be here if I wasn't," he sassed back.

Then came Aerndis. Valentine liked to give his grandchildren a hard time, but if he were forced to admit it, he thought that one had a good head on her shoulders and he was pleased she had decided to join him today. "Indeed we are," he said gruffly. He nodded to the bird, then said to Aerndis. "Gonna be watching you, kid, so you better be careful." That was as close as he was going to get to expressing his very real concern for her safety.

After his granddaughter came a male from Abaven that Valentine didn't know. He eyed him, but since the male didn't address him, he didn't say anything either. After Odysseus was Rhyme, who also didn't say anything. Valentine gave his son a nod in greeting and then his gaze was drawn away by the arrival of Chaos, who of course had something to say. Valentine snorted. "I'll make you a deal. You kill more than I do and I'll hunt for you for the next two seasons." He cocked a brow at the saber-tooth Saxe. "But if I win I'm gonna hold it over your head for the rest of my days."

Then came one of Chaos' kids and another male that smelled of Abaven. While he'd never spoken to him or learned his name, Valentine recalled seeing Acere at the wedding in Abaven not that long ago.

Avalon was next. She'd done well with recruiting it seemed and promised that there were more waiting outside of Boreas. That was perfect; they'd collect those wolves on their way to the one Jupiter had gathered. "'The more the merrier," he said with a chuckle.

After Avalon was one of her kids, but he wasn't sure which one. Years had passed since he'd seen them and this one hadn't made much of an impression. He had a very sour face and looked unhappy to be here which left Valentine wondering just how tight a grip Avalon had on his balls.

To everyone, he said, "I'll make this brief. After we meet up with the rest of our party we'll discuss the plan. For now we march. Let's go."
