The King tried to quell the festering notion in the back of his mind that she might be dangerous. She looked innocent enough, even with her stained throat glistening in the sunlight. Her son at her side also did wonders to make her look as if she meant no harm. Besides, it wasn't like she was the first known killer to be allowed into Seracia's midst. Elphaba had a dark past - one that he truthfully didn't know everything about, and Bronze had been a warrior in his day. Why should he look at her any different? Had Valkis really tainted his mind so much that he would question her simply for knowing him, for seeing him once in her life? He couldn't allow that to happen. She would state her piece, further quelling his nerves - if you could call them that - toward her joining his home. Eyes would flicker to the boy, and then back to his mother as a smile crept across his face. "A new life it shall be. Welcome home, Destruction and Dillinger." He turned slightly to better view his kingdom. "There are three large structures suitable for sleeping in, as well as countless dens dotting the kingdom here and there. You may take up residence in any that are vacant. Our main water source is to the far east portion of our land, you can't miss it - it's a large lake. Prey are present in almost every part of the land, but more prevalent in the wooded tresses. Lastly, free roaming cattle range across the land. There's a particularly nasty black bull that's been a bit of a bother, but as long as you don't get near him he shouldn't cause you much harm. We intend on eradicating him soon if he doesn't stop posing a threat." He paused, letting all of this sink in for a moment. "You are free to come and go as you please, but we do ask that if you roam you at least check in every few days - it's easier to keep track of everyone that way. Otherwise, you can do as you please." The King waited to see if she had any other concerns he ought to address. Otherwise, he would leave the two newcomers to their exploring. "Speech" |
