This Could Be Different

Chimera nodded at the girl when she gave her name, then followed the pair as they proceeded to choose their dwelling. He would need to know where to find them if they were needed. As the young fae made the choice for them, the boy went along willingly. The king arched a brow, noting how compliant the young brute was with his sister's will. Then he shook his head and brushed it off.

Balthier then turned to him, offering to run patrols once he was shown the ropes. The king nodded. "This will be expected of you. You'll run the island first, then later you'll run the mainland." With his speckled nose, Chimera indicated different directions. "First patrol runs a half circuit on the perimeter of the front of the island, then cuts through the jungle to return. Second patrol runs the back and cuts through the middle." He then looked in the direction of the mainland where the dam rested. "Those with the most fighting experience run patrols around the dam." Just in case someone decided to test their mettle.

The beast brought his gaze back to the boy. "I'll have you run patrols with another for a short time, then you'll be expected to fall into the rotation and begin on your own." His gaze then shifted to the girl. "You are expected to contribute in whatever way you're able as well." Whether that was by crafting, hunting, pupsitting, whatever. Everyone was expected to contribute.

"Get settled and rest for today," the man spoke. He reminded the pair where the food stores were before nodding and taking his leave. He was glad to have the boy and his sister here. Chimera saw great promise in the black and gold lad.
