Manea, Chimera, and Venom exchanged greetings as alphas, and then the Fenmyrian king introduced the unknown lad as his son, Cerberus. The boy was polite and minded his manners well; he would go far as a diplomat. "A pleasure to meet you as well, Cerberus!" Alastor greeted the lad with his usual grin, then moved his gaze to the young and beautiful Ikigai. "You must be incredibly proud of your daughter, Venom. She's bloomed like a perfect cherry blossom. No doubt she'll be a fine ambassador of Ashen!" Alastor knew of his wife's fondness for the young Abraxas princess, and he similarly held a soft spot for her in his heart for the kindness she'd shown to him during their first meeting. Though not a pup anymore, he would always remember her as the willowy and well-mannered whelp at her mother's side, mimicking her like a tiny doppelgänger.
After some small talk and pleasantries had been exchanged, Manea invited their guests in to get comfortable and settled into the spare dens. Alastor followed alongside his mate while they led the way across Alias Island, giving a brief tour of the land. Manea turned and asked him to fetch some dinner along with their children, and Alastor responded with a smile and nod. "Of course, my dear," he said, and with a parting kiss to her cheek and another to her lips, he picked up the pace and cantered off towards their food stores. They had recently had quite a lucrative hunt, and Alastor's proclivity for fishing had seen their larders packed with fresh meat and fish aplenty. He didn't know where Avacyn and Saracyn had gotten to, but knowing his twins, where one was, the other was usually close by.
