An Oath of loyalty

His narrowed eyes stayed level with Oath's cyan gaze. That tail slowly lashing as Oath took everything in and thought long and hard about the questions posed by Azriel. Oath had been with him for almost a year, and in that year Azriel had seen Oath never once take a woman or man, which left something else in his logical brain. Oath tested the word Azriel had posed before he seemed to think more. Az let him, gave him all the time in the world to consider the truth and to consider himself.
When finally he spoke Azriel seated himself once more, ready to listen. He had to agree, he had bled for Judalia, would die for it. Almost had. He had taken vows of loyalty to the royals and the pack when he became a soldier. But Oath had a but to add and it made him narrow his gaze and harden it. There was always a but and Az was ready to feed more truth to Oath if he needed to so the other would see the logical step this was. That furthering Judalia should be the most important thing right now. They would need time and he would have to give training to the royals that he hadn't ever wanted to before. Defense would be their best offense.
He listened as Oath spoke his own truths. Jealousy was his driving emotion then, Azriel had guessed right and he could proceed now easier. Now that he knew the issue he could work towards fixing it, or at least making Oath feel better about his and Atreyu's arrangement. He waited for Oath to finish, a brow lifting and a scoff at the thought that Oath was going to lose him. He owed Oath something that he owed no one. "Yes I shall be bound to her sister, but that makes me more than just your friend when that happens. I shall become family to you, and I will not have my family left behind. You may not be my first priority at that time but do not forget, I owe you a life debt. You are the one who pulled me from the brink, brought me back from the grasp of my father, no one else even knows how close we came that day. You were there when I faltered on that day, when I couldn't kill him. You are my best friend and I will not change that Oath. There will always be a place for you near my side, and I offer you this. Become Judalia's head priest, busy yourself when we cannot find time to have our time together, educate others on our gods, help those that need it heal spiritually. None know the gods better than you in my opinion." He Was giving Oath an option other than just pinning for time to spend with each other. A new purpose and a way he could even try to heal others.
