He watched appraisingly for their reactions. Much had been said, and he was sure there would be those who didn't agree with some of it, and those who agreed wholeheartedly. As a King, he knew he could not please everyone, though he desperately wished he could. Head would swing to watch one of the newer members, Segolia, leave of her own accord. He was not irked by this, as her presence had already been noted and her further attendance was not required. Loccian was next to react, offering a thanks and congratulations. The King smiled, always impressed with her courtesy and humble nature. "I have seen better days," would be all he would offer the Contessa on his mental state. He had to be strong for his pack, even if inside he felt like his heart was breaking. Cynrik would speak up next, eloquent voice inquiring more about the alliances that had been spoken about. Gerhardt gave him a nod. "Of course, I have some things I'd like to share with you about the very same topic." He had a plan for Cynrik, if the male was up for it.

His son would speak next, clearly shaken up by the news of his engagement. The father could read his son, and he knew that Maverick was petrified. "In the Winter, my son." Not much more would be spoken on that matter at the current time, as he and Maverick could easily talk about such things later. Ghost's presence was noted, but nothing came from her lips. He also noted her heavily pregnant form, and was intent upon seeing to it that her pups were born here. Bane came as well, but likewise, said nothing. Octavian spoke, but to his sister Loccian. A smile was offered to the man, but the King gave no words. Segar was present, as was Valkis. Valkis gave him a stern request, and the monarch gave a nod. "Of course," he knew what was coming.

Kamala came, brightening his mood considerably, and the King gave her a gentle smile. She offered a polite congratulations to Maverick and then gave a question. She wanted to know about Ludicael. "Ah yes, Ludicael. They are a rather.. relaxed pack, though I'm not certain that's the proper word. They work together when they need to, but they also lead independent lives. I have only met their leader - the Sol - her name is Jupiter and she is very kind. She's actually a native of this land," Words were directed mostly to his daughter, but voice carried far enough for the others to hear, if they were curious.

Coulter's presence was noted with a simple nod and kind smile. Elphaba came next, and the King realized he had not introduced her as he had Bronze. "Forgive me for not announcing your presence, I was uncertain if you were going to come today." He would not have blamed her had she not, as she was new and probably unsure of gathering in groups. Noted then was Bronze, and finally, Gideon. A nod was given to each of them before he glanced at the group as a whole - those who remained. "Is there anything else that I have failed to address? Any comments, questions, or concerns?"
