Broken Pieces

Desdemona would watch as Nnoitra slunk beside her, a part of her was loathe for him to be here, he was not loved by Valhalla, his presence may very well prove to be a larger hindrance than a help. She had asked him to visit Ludicael... surely he had not done that yet... she would need a word with him soon. This joint ruling would not work if he did not respect her enough to listen. Irritation would settle in her chest but not a flicker of it was shown. Years of training as a mercenary had taught her to beat down emotions. She would speak with Nnoitra later. Two toned eyes would fall all the two Valhallens, neither one looked particularly intimidating. Perhaps assured in their stature but she could not bring herself to fear either of them and her stance remained confident and self assured. They would speak and before she even had a chance to allow lyrics to fall from her tongue, Nnoitra would introduce them both and explain why they were here, the urge to snap at him was strong, she suppressed it. Valhalla was supposed to be her responsibility to procure an alliance, not his, it made her seem weak and incompetent that he had spoken before she. Damn it. Her eyes slid shut and she stepped forward, she had been silent too long, she needed to speak. She would explain how she came to power, give them a bit of information on herself. Explain her standing. "Kaien was a fool, and Morphine a liar. Neither were fit to rule, much less guide a pack to a successful place. I challenged Kaien for the right to rule Tortuga, I ended his life in the Battlefield as per his request and Morphine was banished. I apologize for the trouble the insipid fools have caused Valhalla. The incident with Luce and Neo never should have been rewarded, as Nnoitra founded the pack, he based its morals off of neutrality. Kaien and Morphine did anything but remain neutral. I have seen too many wars, I have spilled too much blood. I yearn only for relative peace. Nnoitra shares this belief, this thought, it tis why I have chosen him as my partner, as he has stated we are not asking for friends to race through meadows with, but a soft alliance. We will cause you no more grief if you will offer us the same token." Her words were strong and level, little to no emotion crept into her tones, but the authority that rang with them could not be denied. Speech, |
