In many ways Valentine envied Aki. He hadn't grasped the true weight of what he was doing when he'd founded Imperium. Of course he'd known what he was getting into and he'd known his life would be changed, but he hadn't taken into consideration exactly how changed it would be. He envied Aki for many reasons. The man was unfettered; he went where he want, when he wanted. He probably didn't have a group to look out for and check in on and he certainly didn't have lands to patrol and defend. That being said Valentine enjoyed being King. He liked having wolves to look out for and lands to defend. The responsibility, the respect, the power. What he didn't like was that he couldn't have it both ways. He couldn't be free and without responsibility and King.
The answer to Aki's question filled the King with pride. "In the south," he began. Imperium. His feelings towards the place were strong. A lot had gone into making the pack what it was today and not just on his part. His members were what made it. Their dedication and loyalty were unmatched. "In the pack called Imperium. While there are many beautiful places here in Alacritia, there is no place that I'd rather call home."
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
