Pawprints in the Foreign Soil

The King was most pleased with the circumstances. Though it had not been a meeting in which he would add two permanent new members to his pack, it was perhaps an even more important introduction. This - should things pan out accordingly - could lead to one of the best decisions he could ever make as a King. Alliances were the life blood of a pack, no matter how strong one may be on it's own, packs could always use friends and assistance. She commented on his uncertainty of his end of the bargain, and he merely nodded. All of that could be arranged later in the week, for now he would play host to two members of Glaciem, although he wasn't sure how willing the second guest Mahniya might be. She seemed uneasy about staying here, as if she had some reason to fear a foreign pack. In all reality she did, but that prospect was laughable in the King's eyes. These two would be treated as nothing less than royalty in their week here, and perhaps even just a little bit better. Amethyst eyes would set upon the diplomat as she set the ball in his court. Here it was, the pivotal moment. He would stand and pivot to his side, ready to turn and walk into his Kingdom with her at his side. "Please, do enter my Kingdom. You are my welcome guests," She spoke up again, inquiring of any codes of conduct he wished for her to follow during her stay. He had not thought much on this, but perhaps he should. The King would ponder these things, glancing to his sons who were startlingly quiet, but still very present. "Boys, would you go and inform your mother of our guests, and anyone else you should run into? I want to be certain that they will be treated with the upmost courtesy and kindness." He had no reason to believe that members of Seracia would act any other way toward them, but sometimes it was best to get the word out ahead of time. His subjects deserved a fair warning. He would then wait for Crusade to cross the threshold, pondering on any guidelines he might need to impose upon her. "Our upmost rule is respect, but I doubt I would ever need to remind you of that. I would say for your own safety it would be best to travel with an escort. My sons, daughter, wife, and I are all at your service should you wish to explore. Escorts can be burdensome, but I feel that if members miss the message of your presence you might be greeted with hostility. We don't take well to trespassers." He hoped she would understand, as he was only doing this for her own safety. He did not feel as if she truly needed a babysitter, but someone to escort her on longer walks would be beneficial, not to mention informational. He intended to spend as much time with the two of them as he was allowed, but there would be times when his duty would call, and the job of escorting would fall to one of his other family members. He trusted his children, particularly Maverick and Kamala, for Valkis might be too reserved to be of any real use. His wife would certainly be a culture shock compared to himself, but he had faith in her as well. Altogether, the King was at ease about the week to come. "As for any boundaries, you'll find I'm not offended by your presence at any official business that should occur. If a meeting arises you are welcome, the same for a hunt or anything else that you should wish to partake in." In fact, if she did attend any meetings or hunts, or anything of that sort, it would only serve to benefit her - and would not hinder him in the slightest. "Is there anything in particular you wish to do first during your visit here?" If she were hungry he could take her to their hunting grounds, or to the delta for a fishing expedition. If she was interested in seeing the landscape he could show her that too, everything between here and the southern ocean, and perhaps even the reef he'd discovered if she was a capable enough swimmer. There were endless possibilities. "speeeeech" |
