Rhythm introduced the girl as her niece and Valentine smiled warmly at her. The request was an easy one. "It's very nice to meet you, Shaye. And of course. Just howl at the border whenever you visit so I know you're here and come on in." That's all he required. That didn't apply to those he hadn't met; the brute disliked the idea of allowing anyone into his borders who he hadn't met before - even if the guest in question was family to a packmate of his.

At first he'd believed the girl to be shy, but she soon proved him wrong by opening her mouth and letting a little speech roll out. As for the word she struggled with, he had absolutely no idea what she was trying to say but rolled with it anyway. The big word aside, the question was an easy one. Valentine doubted he could explain the many facets of the situation to her, about how Hati, as hateful as he was, had thought he was acting in the right, and about how Cascade had been the real culprit.

Growing serious, the brute sought eye contact with the child. "Rhythm is safe here." He meant it; she needn't worry. "As for him," Valentine paused for emphasis. He strongly doubt that Hati was the issue. Regardless, with Rhythm under the Imperator's protection it would be very unwise to attempt to harm her. "Well, there's no need to worry about him anymore." If Cascade was the real problem and Hati was simply a pawn, there was little to fear now aside from the occasional whirlwind of grump as he flounced off to do whatever it was broody brutes did, but every member had to deal with that sooner or later.

NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
