It was only natural that a proposition would come from assistance, and Sendoa's emerald eyes nearly rolled as it fell from the Valhallan Queen's lips. However, she would resist the urge to do so, and would listen intently while the healer spoke. It seemed she would rehash old history of Glaciem and Valhalla before proposing a peace treaty between the two packs. And, to add the icing on the cake, she would ask for the return of Soren & Kismet to Valhalla. It was a lot to contemplate, and Sendoa found herself wondering if this was a risk she was willing to take. To give up Soren & Kismet and to advance a peace treaty was asking a lot - all for the simple treatment of her injured limb and an escort home (the latter of which she doubted she even needed). "So to recap, you're offering treatment of my wound and an escort home in return for two years' peace and the release of Soren & Kismet Adravendi. I see your two years' peace and offer forth, in addition, a clean slate. Glaciem will forget what was done to us, as will Valhalla forget what was done to them. This war was started over the desire for one woman and one woman alone - I see not why bitterness should continue now that she's chosen her side. No longer can Valhalla hold anything in the past against Glaciem. Grudges are dissolved, hatred diffused, prospects of war annihilated. In effort to demonstrate our good faith, we will agree upon the return of Soren & Kismet Adravendi - if fetched properly by one of your own in a timely manner." She paused, allowing this to sink in. "Now, Queen of Valhalla, do you see this proposition as fair?" Renegotiation was probably and most likely, but at least Sendoa had said her piece and the ball was now in Erani's court. The burning in her paw remained, a constant reminder that she was in need of assistance and would have to agree on some level to get along with Erani.
