Exactly where I want to be

Ulric was happy to walk with Aurielle as she motioned for him to follow along beside her along the edge of the pack's borders. He waited patiently and let her gather her thoughts and once she began to speak he tried to take it all in and absorb every word. He understood that this was an area of expertise for her so he was more than willing to admit where his shortcomings were so that he could make himself better for the pack he eventually wanted to bring to life. He nodded with understanding when she mentioned letting wolves go when they aren't happy there and could certainly understand how not every pack would fit everyone's needs or wants. He chuckled and grinned a little when she spoke of always adapting and evolving to make the pack how she wanted and not being satisfied in her pursuit to make it better. "Nothing wrong with that," he commented, knowing he would surely be the same way.

As her tone and expression grew a bit more serious he watched her curiously while she spoke of the hardships of leaderships and some difficulties he hadn't really considered. He had been so focused on how he would help his pack members and how he would want the pack run that he hadn't really considered how his pack would interact with others. The politics of it all was something he knew Leo had been skilled at from the stories that Roza told him, but he supposed only time would tell if he was able to adopt that skill as well. It was interesting to hear that she still felt all these challenges despite the fact that she had been prepared to be in this roll since she was young. It gave him a little hope that even though he wasn't nearly as prepared or knowledgeable then maybe he could still keep up with the other alphas as long as he was willing to put in the work. It wasn't all dark and difficult though and her assurance that sometimes everything runs smoothly and feels good made him smile.

"Thank you for your insight," he replied after a moment of thought, giving her a grateful smile. "I know it's going to take a lot of work, but... This is what I want for myself and my family so I'm ready to put in the work to make it happen." The mention of family made him grin and he added, "On the topic of family... I've found a woman of my own since we last spoke." Nothing brightened his expression or his demeanor the way talking about Azariah did. She was truly the brightest spot in his life and he hoped that at some point he could bring her to meet this portion of his family as well. "Her name is Azariah. She's agreed to marry me, bless her soul... Even after hearing all these big dreams of mine. Whenever we get to hold our wedding, I hope that you and Cairo at least will attend."
