The woman's acceptance was no small relief. The sooty fae had wondered if, after her speech, the woman might decide another pack was more to her liking. She did not, however, let this show. She took her agreement with a small smile and a polite nod of the head. "Welcome then, Platinum. Due to your professed skill in battle I will award you the rank of High Lady. You will be called upon in counsel, relied upon in battle, and expected to educate and assist all those who come to you seeking aid. Perhaps in time, after we get to know one another better, I might see fit to progress you further yet." There was little doubt in Raisa's mind that she would make and excellent master of Ebon, but what held her back was Sif. Raisa had not seen the woman in over a year, had no idea how her injuries may have affected her. This woman before her had an impressive aura and sense of accomplishment, but the Queen knew next to nothing about her. No, better to wait. Haste bred mistakes. Platinum seemed amused by her lack of personal curiosity. Raisa only shrugged and smiled, responding in kind. "I am of the opinion that actions speak louder than words. I could no more discern your true personality from a conversation than a first glance. Words are wind, but an aura, the small details, and time do not lie. I could tell you now that I have killed scores and scores of brutes, faes, and pups, but does it make it true?" She was careful to avoid directly calling the woman a liar, as she did not believe it was the case. Instead, she would label herself suspicious for the greater good. In either case, she was in no great hurry.
