Honeybee

He was so freakin' cute. That probably wasn't what you were supposed to think when meeting with a fellow alpha, but this Kassander guy was almost too adorable for words and that was hard to ignore. He stuttered through the rest of his greeting and Valentine dipped his head in acknowledgement of it, feigning seriousness for the benefit of the younger brute. Perhaps once he was a little more comfortable with his role this diplomacy thing would come easier to him.

Ah, so he inherited. That made sense. Somehow Valen couldn't quite picture this fellow challenging someone for their rank. He was fairly certain he'd never met this sister of his or the fae who'd held the position before her, but that wasn't surprising considering how little he cared about getting to know his neighbors. Kassander stumbled over another statement and Valentine found himself nodding good-naturedly. "Ah, well, you've succeeded so far. Is that all you've come here for or can I help you with anything else?"
