Among Clashing Tides

He had expected her to have thanked him for his concern and accepted the advice, at least swearing that she would take it. Her response wasn't nearly everything he expected. Thank you for the concern Taur, but I will be there when the challenge takes place. I want to see what happens, and will stay a safe distance away. If it does escalate into war I will be sure to tell my father, but we wouldn't leave until the children are safe first. As for ill feelings, I won't upset if you harmed my pack-mates, much will be expected from you as the King's son. You will still be a friend of mine. He allowed his gaze to return to her scarred gaze, features noticeably falling as she mentioned that she would be present at the challenge. He had mixed feelings about her presence. Part of him felt that it would be a good learning experience for her, so she could see what was to be done and not done in a fight, in case she ever came to participate in one. But then again, he felt like she was too young still to be exposed to such things, especially since she hadn't been raised as a warrior from a young age. Regardless, it was her decision and that of her father's that would determined whether she was present at the challenge or not. He could only hope that she would get herself out of harm's way if things got heated.


A solemn nod was given to her first set of words about the challenge and the getting the children to safety. It was good that she was thinking about helping her pack out. He knew that he'd been right about the young being a wolf of good character. Her father had raised her right. But the solemn expression was soon to disappear at the mention of being her friend. His first friend in Alacritis, and from the current rival pack. Funny how things worked. Your friend... He trailed off, inky lips curling into a grin. I like the sound of that. Your friend is what I will be Seraphine, for life if you so wish. There was a silent promise in his words as he gazed at the amazing young woman before him. A friend. His first one.
