As he waited to see what Chrysanthe would say, a third valhallan would appear. A large russet man whose lower jaw seemed to be just pure bone. What happened to this man? He walked with an air of confidence, his scent similar to Chrysanthe's. A sibling perhaps? Second alpha? He could only wonder as the man to stand beside the queen, keeping any comments to himself as he watched the proceedings. Erani would congratulate him on having defended Poppy before going into her vouch for him, starting with her witness to his banning from Glaciem. The cobalt king would slightly incline his head towards the red-faced queen, baring the scaring from the mauling the ice King gave him. She would continue on to mention that an alliance would be wise with his prior knowledge of Glaciem, as well as the fact that he was now her adopted son. Icy gaze would flicker to Chrysanthe, wondering how she would take the new of his adoption. It was clear that he wasn't exactly one of her favorite people around; would she accept him as something of an adopted sibling? He was sure Erani wasn't psychic, but it felt that way when she decided to introduce the russet man as Syrinx, second alpha and brother to Chrysanthe. His original assumption had been correct. A dip of the skull would be given to Syrinx in quiet acknowledgement as Erani introduced him to the second alpha as he adopted son. Would be oppose it as well? There was no time to linger on Syrinx's opinion as Chrysanthe began to speak. If it were not for my mother I would wonder whether you were double crossing me. I know how deep familial bonds run - I know what it's like to do literally anything to keep your family safe. It was understandable. He didn't come from the friendliest pack around, so it would make sense that his intentions would be somewhat questioned. It was to be expected, so no offense was taken. Yet Erani is my mother, and if she sees you as family, we are such - and that connects you to my entire family as well, Taurig. Tortuga has a rocky history with Valhalla - I would love to see past that entirely. An alliance would be the perfect way to do that. But I have a single requirement. War is coming, between Valhalla and Glaciem. Should I give the call, or send for assistance I would like you and if possible couple of your warriors to be there. She accepted him as something akin to family. That was definitely a step in the right direction and better than nothing. Should you decline, there will be no alliance, but I will not make an enemy out of Tortuga. Should you accept, I want our packs to be somewhat close. I can send a healer to teach your own, or a hunter or warrior to fill in when and if you ever need it. Winter's here, and although Valhalla is big, we are not above reaching out to our family. She wanted he and his warriors to help her in battle if the time ever came. That was nothing that he wasn't capable of. He would be more than happy to march into war beside Valhalla. Despite what Erani has told you, I still don't expect you to trust me completely, given my recent history with Glaciem. Through this alliance, I hope to change your opinion about me now that we're...something like family. I would be honored to fight alongside you Chrysanthe, you as well Syrinx, defending your pack which will now be considered an extension of my own. Anytime and anywhere, just call. I and any warriors I can rustle up will be there to aid you. And I will most definitely take you up on your offer of healers, once I gain some within my ranks. I am truly honored to be forging an alliance with such an awe inspiring queen. His words were not meant for flattery. They were the pure truth as he saw it. Talk like this |
