the prettiest people do the ugliest things

Quote:Natalya listened patiently to the words given by her companion, nodding every so often to show that she was listening. She wondered for a moment about the describing phrase of wolves of this pack being less acceptable, but did not linger on it for long. As far as she was concerned, every pack had vastly different standards for the types that were acceptable to it. In Olympus's case, all who were willing to pledge their loyalty to the family of the gods and defend it were generally welcome, given that they proved their worth in other ways.



"Aside from the name you have given to your pack, I have no questions." She would smile slightly at this remark, but quickly return to her stoic demeanor to offer her information in response. "Olympus is named for my family, wolves descended from and named for the Greek gods themselves. The pack has been built up around us, though we welcome others into our ranks. We require that all members are capable warriors in addition to contributing in other ways. Those who do not contribute in some way to the pack's well-being are ill-received. I, as well, will not tolerate disrespectful acts by my members against neighbors or allies. We are generally neutral on most issues, but if our home or family is threatened, we will not hesitate to act on it."



She paused before moving to her next subject. "If you are partial to what I have said, I would also like to inform you that we are a family that believes in arranged marriages, and the children of our former empress as well as mine are available for discussion, as well as my sister-in-law who has children of her own on the way. But first, of course, ask any questions you may have."
