Bringing In The Delegation

Wolves seemed to appear from the very heart of the boulders scattered about them. Raisa scorned herself for being so unobservant as to not catch their scent on the breeze. They seemed largely friendly, however, and she did not stress more than was her due. After all, for all the Valhallans that had come to her lands, Raisa's own packmates soon appeared as well. The first of which was Kaliska, and as expected, she was rather lacking in tact. Raisa wasn't sure whether to chuckle or shake her head, but a quick glance at the elder she spoke to told the sooty fae that her enthusiasm was well received. Raisa brushed her tail affectionately against the smaller woman's flank, grateful she had come when the strangers had called. The third foreigner to arrive was quick to announce that they were indeed not from Glaciem and Raisa found a smile on her face, despite herself. Her relief was likely palpable, but she didn't mind. "Wonderful," she said, then composed herself. The Queen offered the now three strangers a polite bow, and came up with curiosity in her eyes. "My name is Raisa Xanilov, and I hold claim to the lands you see before you." As she pronounced herself yet another wolf came forth from the open lands, but Raisa was not unduly worried about being outnumbered two for one. For all she could see, these four seemed entirely friendly and well-intentioned. The eldest of them all began to speak and Raisa listened with a keen ear. It would seem that not only were these wolves unassociated with the northern king, but held him in rather poor esteem. The Ebony Queen found she could relate. As Erani introduced each wold in her entourage, Raisa gave them a polite nod of the head, making an effort to memorize their faces and names, should they ever meet again. Alsander remarked that Erani may very well have the powers of an oracle, just as Maximous arrived to their side. Raise turned to the man as he spoke and smiled, nodding by way of greeting. Turning back to the Valhallans she spoke truly, saying, "A psychic you say? I cannot claim such things for myself, unfortunately. Regardless, it is an honor to meet you all. I confess to being a stranger to these lands, and rather unfamiliar with our neighbors." Raisa smirked and bobbed her head from side to side, considering how best to phrase what she meant to say next. "I have had words with the alphess of Olympus," she said lightly, unsure whether to speak of her and Virgil's true relationship, "as well as with the King of Glaciem. I would be remiss to omit that the latter meeting was... unpleasant." Vaughan had arrived as well, by the time the Queen had finished her small speech. He spoke wisely, and Raisa found her first impression of the elderly alphess quite a good one. She was eager to see what conversation the western wolves had brought to her moorland. "So, what might we do for you?"
