Quote:She wouldn't wait long. The woman she sought would arrive shortly, placing herself some distance away. She was obviously not the type for unnecessary formalities and was not overly friendly, but the Matriarch didn't mind that in the slightest. In fact, she appreciated that this woman was ready to get to business from the get go. She nodded in greeting. "Natalya. Pleasure to meet you." Her voice was polite, yet curt, as she hoped to keep everything brief and to the point as this woman clearly also did.
"As I'm sure you're aware, there can be some great benefits and great dangers from two packs being so closely located. I was wondering if you could tell me about your pack's philosophy and laws, and if we could discuss our respective positions as packs." She did not use the word alliance, certain it would taint their discussion. After all, the two knew nothing about each other or their homes. They could have views as different as the moon and the sun, for all Natalya knew. "I can tell you whatever you need, or would like to, know about Olympus, but I do not want to burden you with unnecessary information."
