"I am planning an event, a festival of sorts. Perhaps we can each meet the children there and they can meet each other? There are two boys eligible for betrothal, but I am unsure which would be best suited for your princess." She hoped it would be an adequate way to assure the other woman that they were on the same page, albeit for different reasons. She could not sanction a marriage without the approval of her Delphi and the gods themselves, and to get that the children would need to meet before them.
"I am glad we have been able to reach an agreement, Cataleya. I look forward to the development of this relationship between our packs, however it may enrage your husband."
