Knives & Pens

"That means alot, coming from you." He nodded, knowing what she meant by that. He tried his best to advise. To he honest. To be non judgemental, but he was only human in a sense. He slipped up from time to time, just like anyone else. He wasn't perfect, he knew that. “I have heard - and I know your going to make an amazing Alpha, and I truly hope that Ignis and Actaea can take some of what they’ve learned here and shine in your pack.” He couldn't help the small smile and chuckle that followed after that, "Oh, I'm sure they will. I know Actaea looks up to you a great deal. And Ignis looks up to Rhyme. He likes to brag about that tiger he fought with Rhyme over the winter." And now he had scars to remember it by.

When she mentioned Tana, he nodded and took a moment to answer. That was still something he wanted to talk about...but he wasn't sure how to go about it just yet. "I will do my best, it's just a matter of time." He needed to think carefully about how to approach the subject concerning Tana further. Brows furrowed as he thought, but Shaye went on to advise him that starting a pack wasn't easy. But she believed in him and wanted to help him. He looked at her again, crimson gaze unreadable for the moment. “I’ll lend you healers and warriors, and offer training to the wolves that want to join your pack, even extend the offer to wolves in this pack to move to yours, if they wish it.”

To be honest, he was surprised by her offer. He was surprised in general at how their conversation had been going so well. He didn't want to fuck it up, but if he did...he supposed it would be inevitable. "Thank you, Shaye. To be truthful, I didn't expect such an offer. But I am glad that I have your support in this...and I hope our packs can get along well enough," He winked. He didn't know how his pack would turn out exactly. Probably not as peaceful as Abaven, but certainly not overbearing and tyrannical, either. "I have a few interested so far...asides from my niece and nephew, a couple of rogues I've met as well. Though I must admit, finding others who wish to join a pack that has not yet been established has been...difficult." He thought it would be easier. That it wouldn't take so long. Maybe he was looking in the wrong places, or maybe that's just the way it was.
