The feast had been an interesting one, and Zalen’s belly was full of both cooked and uncooked food-stuffs, as well as a good share of what he was guessing was wine. Sufficed to say, he was feeling pretty content, his nerves having eased once the tent had filled the chatter of the others. It was obvious that some avoided others, and even he was wary of the arrival of the leader of Inferni, who chatted with whom Zalen guessed was the Salsolian ruler. Of course those two would be allies; it only made sense in the grand scheme of things. Zalen had tried to put any worries aside, and focus on the cordial discussion between he and the Ichikan arrivals.
But soon, the chatter began to shift, die out as other moved out of the tent to discuss more intimate matters. Titania even excused herself from his side to go talk with the leader of Cercatori, who had just finished speaking with a hulking black wolf dressed in human clothes with a sword attached to his back. This male then made his way over to Zalen, and the New Dawn alpha straightened up as best he could. The stranger was much larger then he, standing several feet above him and weighing considerably more. Zalen was not fazed though, after interacting with Titania’s father, no other wolf he had met could even compare.
The smiling wolf introduced himself as Jazper, a knight of Casa di Cavalier. Zalen was familiar with this pack, understanding that it was a peace-keeping clan sprung from the ashes of the Aniwayan war. The man was polite, his stance friendly, and Zalen wagged his tail gently, Well-met Jazper, I am Zalen Damaichu, Alpha of New Dawn. He returned the man’s bow, We have just settled in a territory to the north of Ichika no Ho-en. This man seemed good hearted, so Zalen felt comfortable giving out this information. Besides, was this feast not for establishing a camaraderie between the packs? Well, Casa di Cavalier’s motives seemed well enough to him.
