The brute seemed pleased, as he should, with Esti's decision to let him stay. Her followers whispered in agreement, they would have a new member! How exciting! He even bowed down to her! The gesture made her feel a little giddy. Esti wasn't really sure if the two were still pretending or not, but she decided that as long as both were happy, it didn't matter. What made a real princess different from a pretend princess anyway? Followers, that's what, and now Esti had one, so she obviously could be a princess. Her royal servants agreed.
The brute asked when he should start hunting. She didn't know! Oh yeah, she was the princess, she was supposed to. What other responsibilities did princesses have? Oh well, if it was too much, she could probably get a loyal servant to do it right? That's probably what Erani did. Being an actual princess seemed like it might not actually be too hard as long as her servants were loyal! Esti smiled in reply to the brute, "Well, I'd assume any time you're ready to start proving yourself, you can start hunting."
Esti took a few steps closer to the brute, "Here, we gotta rub shoulders or somethin' so that if anyone sees you, they'll know you're a part of the Kigu Kingdom" or something. Esti knew all the Valhalla wolves smelled similar and like each other, so Esti assumed that they had parties where they would all just gather and rub against one another until they smelled right, "I'm sure the longer you stay here, the more strong it'll be, but this oughta work for now." Oops- the longer he stays? "I- I mean for the few days you're here. Of course unless you need to stay here. Then I might allow that." She would totally allow that. "Speech"
