Her response was a logical one. It wasn't what he had hoped for with his romanticized view of the world, but it was one he could respect and one he would be happy to honor. He simply nodded in response, a small smile on his muzzle. He was already looking forward to their future conversations, was already excited to start building his kingdom and have her be a part of it. He needed her logic and her strength, they were too things he sometimes lacked. Of course he was strong physically, but emotionally he sometimes wore his heart on his sleeve so it would be good to have someone to balance him out. She asked about his family, himself, his dreams and he smiled.

"My family... Well, I have six siblings, one of them adopted. I'm not sure how many of them are still around, I only just got back to Alacritis a short time ago, but my mother is here as well as one of my sisters... Oh! I don't guess I've told you my name have I? I was so intent on learning yours and I never told you mine. He chuckled softly and kissed her cheek. "I am Aaron Leopold Adravdendi-Mathis. I go my Leo though, I've never liked Aaron very much and Leopold is a mouth full. My family... We've been royalty for generations in some way or another. That's why I have to rebuild it. I have to honor my family's name. I want my kingdom to be so strong that they'll talk about it for generations. I want to have a pack of warriors, somewhere others can come and feel protected. I want the best healers, hunters... I am going to build a kingdom of legends. There was a fire in his sapphire gaze while he spoke, an excitement that he only felt when he thought about his future. It had never been a question of if for him, only when.
