Sorry for the wait. :[ Word Count: 385 Now, for the first time in the span of their conversation, a smile was on his face out of entertainment. Other smiles had carried social meaning and politeness, but now he was genuinely feeling solidarity with the female in front of him. Her way of speaking pleased him, and her voice was comfortable enough. For all her scary scars and whatnot, she seemed to him (at least so far) a gentle soul. She seemed polite when met with politeness, though he suspected she would be viciously different from what she was now, if met with aggressiveness. That, however, was something he did not intend to find out. He nodded as he spoke in return, eyes shining with general friendliness. Hehe, this is true. Kaena Lykoi appeared to him no more or less intimidating than Jefferson Soul, and Jefferson had proved to be a loyal person, for all his grumpiness. Snow is certainly easier to walk on than the slippery, flooded plain, too. Four legs or two - balance was something nice to maintain. He smiled again when she stated that she approved of his ideas. It was always nice to know that there was some level of likeness between their two groups, however war-ridden one of them might be. His face moved up and down in a nod as he listened to her continue, genuinely interested. Some meetings with other packs' members were a necessity and an act of diplomacy or politeness, and some started that way, and ended up quite pleasurable. Right now, he had stopped worrying if she would not accept his attempt at establishing contact with the clan, and had started enjoying himself instead. The two seemed to think alike on certain subjects. When she finished, she granted him a smile, and he felt his muscles mirroring it and returning the gesture. It seems to me your son is a good leader, to have his clan members trust him so. Not all leaders are as fortunate either, with their subjects. If what he had heard was correct, they kept together because the majority of wolves did not approve of them. He could easily understand the need for fellowship when the rest of the population did not approve of your presence. No doubt such a clan would have quite strong ties of trust. |
