Round and Round

To put it simply, he hurt. A lot. In hindsight the whole 'take on the world' thing with the spars had been a terrible idea, but he was too stubborn to regret it. The king's lack of remorse for the damage he'd taken (and inflicted) didn't lessen the pain any. Valentine ached and the skin around his wounds was tight and itchy. After the spars he'd felt exhausted but pretty good for the rest of the day. The day after had been a whole different story. Pretty much since then he'd been in a constantly agitated state. He couldn't get comfortable and he couldn't sleep, and this combination led to a short fuse and a perpetual scowl.

Seeing Ashmedai with the stranger -whose smell from a distance screamed 'alpha'- didn't help his mood any. Immediately his irritation rose. Great. Just great. While he loved his son, right now was not a time for his antics. He'd probably spewed all kinds of nonsense and that would be this woman's introduction to Imperium. Valentine was unamused.

As he approached Esti rushed up and pulled the boy away. Dipping his head in a polite greeting to the unknown fae, he rumbled, "Welcome to Imperium. My name is Valentine Imperialis and I am the alpha here." Speaking over his shoulder to Esti, he commanded in a tone that made it clear their exit better be quick, quiet and without complaint, "Esti, please take Ashmedai back to the den."

His expression carefully nonplussed as he regarded Katja, the King queried, "What brings you to Imperium today?" It was unlikely that this ruler had come simply to shoot the breeze, so what was her business in Imperium?
