Taurig! I have news for you. It had been some time since he had been in the presence of the Valhallan Queen, especially more so in these relatively calm circumstances. From the tone of her voice, she seemed to be in a very good mood and it brought a smile to the Re's features to hear that she was doing good. He was glad to hear that despite the recent events of the seige that she was still keeping her spirits up. Chrysanthe, I'm all ears. He would chide playfully, tail wagging gently between his hocks, tattered ears standing to attention, waiting to hear what the news was about it.
But it seemed that the news would have to wait because his adopted sibling realized that the titan was now blind. He was hoping that his new condition wouldn't be much of a shock to the red faced woman, but the next words that fell from her lips told him otherwise. No, you too? I was lucky enough to only loose one eye. She seemed to be trying to skirt around the subject of his eyes and he was grateful that she was so considerate about it, but the subject of his eyes was no longer a touchy thing. It was something he would have to live with for the rest of his life and there was no use in being touchy about it. You too? You mean you're blind too? Taurig couldn't hide the shock in his words. He had no idea of the battle she had done with Argent because he had left the battlefield long before Chrysanthe's downfall. A tensing of his jaws would be the only sign of discomfort from the Re. It was saddening to know that his adopted sister had had half her sight taken from her. At least she had been spared unlike him.
How are you and your people fairing?We're doing well. A little under stress from the recent events, but with the move everything should ease out a little bit. He could tell that she was trying to be polite by asking about the rest of the pack, but her next question would reveal her real concerns. Argent happened. I made the mistake of spending a night with the silver knight of Glaciem and Isardis got wind, came to find me, and ripped both my eyes and my chances to further procreate from me. Future families don't concern me, I already have all the children I could want with Maija. The only thing that I am truly sorry for is not being able to see my children grow up. It was probably a little bit more than she had bargained for, but he wasn't ashamed of telling her the whole story.
