She didn't speak angrily. On the contrary, she was quiet, apologetic. Almost like the Svet she'd been when they were children. Kassander relaxed slightly, though he remained cautious. He searched her face as she spoke, before he himself spoke up hesitantly. "I am alpha of Ebony now, Svet..." He didn't know whether she'd known Val had stepped down, didn't know if she knew he had taken her place. He wondered if she would demand her place over him as tradition said was necessary, now that she knew. He didn't want to step down - he was surprised to find himself rejecting the idea with ferocity. He wanted to be here to shape Ebony into what he dreamed it could be. Was he just clinging to the same old need to be the best? But he was leaping miles ahead in the conversation and hastened to pull himself back to it. "Sindri and Sigmarr are here with me. Sigmarr found her, just like he said he would, and brought her back. I think... I think we'd all like to have you back." He couldn't know what Sindri and Sigmarr really wanted, but as far as he knew neither of them had any reason not to want Svet around so he felt comfortable enough adding them to his own feelings. |
