You won't forget me

Desdemona knew enough about her pack members to know their name, true, she hadn't met each and every one of them personally, but if they had wished to speak with her, she had left the invitation wide open. She imagined they perceived her as ruthless, blunt, uncaring and unforgiving. She wasn't a bloodthirsty mongrel, at least she wasn't anymore and she imagined quite a few of them imagined her to be. Then again... how could she blame them? Her speech had been blunt to the point and she had done quite a lot in the short span of ten minutes. She imagined there would be some speculation of her true intent for awhile now. Secret was one of many that would have approached her. She would acknowledge the returned respectful gesture and her ears would swivel forward as the dame began to speak. Her stress would come blunt and to the point, but Desdemona could respect that, she didn't like things candy coated, she preferred to fetch the heart of the matter and resolve it to the best of her capabilities. She would wait with easy patience while the woman spoke her peace. The words were biting and harsh, but not to the point of rudeness. Her stress was understandable. Desdemona would wait until the woman was finished entirely before opening her ivory maw, lyrics falling forth in a powerful baritone. " Do not stress, I have not forgotten those who have been loyal to Tortuga long before my arrival, nor have I neglected to see those who are honored and reveared within this pack. Tortuga is viewed as a joke, a laughing stock, not worthy of so much as a backwards glance. I cannot have complacency in the high ranks, not after the disarray Kaien and Morphine have caused..." She would be honest with woman, giving her own reasons for what she had done. "As I eluded too in the meeting, a tournament is not the only thing that will be taking place. The tournament is only to decide my Akari, my seconds. There will be a series of... shall we call them games to determine my leads of everything else. I am looking for a great deal more than just a show of skill. I look for honor, respect, dignity, how you all treat and respond to one another before and after... strength alone, does not make an exceptional leader." She would pause, giving her words a moment to sink in. "I do not command anyone to compete in all of these events unless you would like too. I want to see your strengths and where each and every wolf in Tortuga will excel... what was your title before my reign?" She would question her gently, asking for the title Nnoitra had bestowed upon her. Speech, |
