Sorry for the wait, love. <3
The meeting had not gone as well as it could have, but it was all he could have hoped for. The small band he had taken into the tribe's lands had not been entirely successful and that wore on him greatly. Many of his pack members supported what they had done, seemingly, and the coming troubles, for there surely would be some, but some had proclaimed a lack of support in what was happening in the usually peaceful kingdom. He had not expected full support, but it certainly meant something to him that so many were willing to fight not only for their pack, but also their allies.
He had agreed to walk with Anann alone so that should could speak with him, telling his family that he would be home later, after another round of checking the borders. He was tired and weary, but sleep could not come until much later for the King. He listened as she spoke, though he did not look at her until the last sentence, meeting her gaze. It had been quite some time since they had spoken seriously; Keese had been the subject, if he recalled correctly. That matter was at rest now, picked apart by gulls and scavengers.
Though she did not say it, Vigilante did not need to hear her confirm what he suspected was her meaning now. "You are going," he stated simply, knowing that she was and that he could not hold her back. He would miss her, though, greatly, and he wondered if she knew that already.
