"I have scouted the lands a bit, and have found many suitable for living. The east is largely open, only one pack resides there. The west is entirely unclaimed. Both have lush plains and fresh water that we could take for our own." She would pause before moving on to the second topic. "As far as the packs go, this is something I recently discussed with your father and was planning to speak to you about today. In addition to judging their capabilities, I will be seeking out allies in our rise to power. This, of course, would be only with your blessing." If they were to start their pack without allies, they may face a danger from Amenti and its ruthless, yet distant, leader. It was a risk she was loathe to take while their numbers were low, for Amenti surely had allies of its own.

I would be very interested in taking a position similar to advising - I have no interest in fighting for this false king, but I am perfectly capable of doing anything presented to me, as you know." Arrogance was something perfectly acceptable within her family, something she was thankful for. She bore no concern that her words to Virgil were to forward. Olympians were entitled to their power, and bragging rights were a privilege that came with it.
