Et Uxor. The wife. One day it had occurred to him that he needed an official mate, someone who was strong and capable, and who held and defended their position the same way he did. In other circles the position was given based on love and not suitability. Not everyone was cut out to be an alpha. Likewise, not everyone was cut out to be a secondary. After much thought he'd come up with the rank of Et Uxor, a position that complimented his own.
Trotting into the center of the Range, Valentine made a beeline for the small gathering. Eyes on Cascade, his eyebrows rose in a silent question. Was it possible to be both surprised and not surprised? Because Valentine was both. On the one hand, even though he couldn't explain his reasoning, he'd had a suspicion that Cascade might go for it, but on the other, he'd been certain she'd find the idea laughable and confining. "Bored, are we?" he teased. Of course she wasn't. Cascade was too crafty to do something like this on a whim. No, there was a reason behind her actions today. He didn't know what she was getting at or what was motivating her, but he knew there was more to it.
"Speaking""Thinking"
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
