The two seemed innocent enough - though the King was old enough to know that one could not be judged by appearance alone. He'd learned that at a very young age. Still, there was a soft spot in his heart for a mother and child and the King would give them the benefit of the doubt if he could. He watched as the two exchanged a series of glances before the mother finally spoke for the pair. Her name was Destruction - well that certainly had a different ring to it - and her son's was Dillinger. She had met Valkis and he'd invited her to Seracia. The King's brow raised for a split second. Valkis had invited someone to Seracia? Who would have expected that? Gerhardt nodded when she was through, processing the information in his mind. "What - if anything - did my son tell you about our kingdom?" It would be necessary to determine just what state of mind Valkis had been in when he'd invited her home. Gerhardt was uneasy when it came to the prodigal son, and would be sure to check her out thoroughly before allowing her in. The threat the boy had made was enough to make Gerhardt second guess everything the boy did and every wolf he associated with. The King would wait quietly, watching the she-wolf with just a bit more interest than before. She had said she'd met Valkis a while back, so perhaps she had met him before the threat was made. Still, there was the off chance that she was a hired hand, brought here to sleigh the King. Gerhardt didn't like to think in such a manner, but Valkis had very plainly stated his longing to see the monarch dead. Gerhardt wasn't about to forget that detail - even if it hadn't been substantiated yet. "Speech" |
