Tyrian blew out his lips thoughtfully as he considered Alarr's question. He hadn't expected the transition to alpha to be easy but he certainly hadn't been prepared for all the complexities of ruling. The big things, like raiding and moving herds, he'd foreseen, but the smaller, day to day activities had been beneath his consideration when he'd been riding the wave of excitement that had come with learning he was going to be King. Alarr posed a good question and it was a mark of Tyrian's inexperience that he was unprepared to answer it.
"I think meetings should be held as often as you think necessary. The healers will be your troops, more or less, and you will know their needs better than anyone else. If you think they need seasonal meetings then by all means have them. If you don't, the choice is yours and I defer to your judgement in this matter." He studied Alarr a moment, then added, "If this informal approach doesn't suit you, perhaps in a few seasons we can sit down and hash out a formal schedule? By then we should have enough knowledge to know what works for us."
"I feel the same way about their training; your judgement is sound and I'm content to leave the well being of the healers and the trainees in your care. The livestock will be a slightly different story. Their care will need to be more regimented. Tashi tells me they need to wormed regularly and that if we are to manage them well we'll have to pay close attention to their breeding. But that is all things you'll need to discuss with him."
