{ The Rising Son }

It is to my understanding that Siren, perhaps, is not overly content in the presence of Eden. She does not seem nervous, more so, she seems uneasy, wary is perhaps the most fitting word and yet as long as she does not make any move to assault him I see no need to do other then allow her to express whatever feeling it is she is given to have, allowing her to act as she sees fit- for it is not my right to dictate her thoughts or actions. I can only hope she maintains her decorum- at least for now, for I should be displeased I think, were she to fall apart before him, for her to dislike him- for her opinion is of import to myself and yet by this same token I am given to value Eden�s thoughts greatly and I part of myself desires his�blessing I suppose, his agreement that Siren is pleasing to him though I belie I may hope for too much in this regard. If they are given to dislike each other then it will be so, I must merely find a way to deal with this should it occur. For now however at least my thoughts were content as Siren lingered close to my side and Eden moved to approach. I cannot contain the pleasure I am given to feel in his company, an assurance, a rightness that is soothing to myself as I move to embrace him- in a way, for I am aware of his disdain for touch, offering him only what is acceptable by both our standards as his words bring a passing smile to my lips.

�I do not imagine you have had many visitors just yet, I thought I should provide you the chance to practice your approach.�

I moved to step over his borders all the same, the faint taint of humour that existed behind such words offered dryly and yet there all the same. I am capable of humour when I try, to an extent at least. I was always told I was far too serious and yet I simply saw the world for what it was- and very little within it amused me to the point in which laughter was needed, not in a world divided and split by the perceived superiority of some. Such thoughts were pushed hurriedly from my mind as it was Siren moved to offer her own greeting, a simple, polite gesture that saw my tail lift to sweep against her in contentment at such a response. It is a curious position indeed I am given to find myself in these moments, my towering, heavy frame caught between two so different and yet each is of value to myself in ways so vastly unique from the other. I desire Eden�s thoughts on many things, my mind most desperate to spend time with him and offer him the thoughts that turn within and yet by this same token I desire Siren feel content, feel a need almost to shield her from Eden�s gaze, to protect this thing I find myself possessive of for reasons I cannot fathom so entirely. Eden�s words, spoken in the language of the blood both of us had turned against, to some extent and yet both still chose to speak upon our own terms saw my head nod in agreement. There was much to discuss and I too would enjoy the time to speak of it when the moment was right.

Eden began to move in that moment, my own form stepping forward to take my place beside him, paused only to assure Siren followed to, muzzle reaching to touch briefly to her own in assurance, meeting her gaze for the barest moment before striding forward now to allow Eden to display this kingdom he had taken. I had not anticipated that he would seek a land for himself and yet perhaps it was not unexpected, for I had felt no surge of surprise when the news of his conquest had been brought to myself. I allowed my gaze to deviate from the immediate path before myself, white paws little more than a whisper upon the earth despite my size as I allowed my gaze to sweep across the land before me, observing the fall and slope, the rocks, sand and scent of salt that lingered. I allowed my features to frown slightly, pausing now atop a dune of tussock grass.

�If I were to picture a land for you, I would not have pictured one such as this. I would ask you why you chose the ocean but I do not believe it was so much the land you choose as it was your discovery of a weak point- I like what you have made your own.�

Nor did I blame him for it. He had seen a weakness within a King and he had acted upon it. He had been right to do such a thing and I was content in this, as I was with the land he had made his own. It was�stable and yet ever changing, if one could be made used to the sound of waves upon the shore. It suited him perhaps, in ways even he may not have seen and I found myself pleased for him as another thought pressed itself upon my mind- a kingdom must have an heir, for a kingdom without it a weakened force and yet I knew not of any children born of Eden this spring. I allowed my gaze to linger upon him a moment still, this unspoken question posed between us before I turned from it. Later- there would be time, for now there were other matters to be had as I waited for Siren to find place at my side once more, allowing my form to press gently against her own in a gesture most�instinctive.

�You know why we have come today, I am sure, Coza is most��astute when he should so choose to be.�

I paused a moment, lips lifted in fondness for the wolf I had accepted as Alpha even as another taint of humour existed within my words. Coza was an acceptable Alpha, a good wolf and one I owed much to- in a way.

�Coza would seek an alliance between our packs, he sent myself as incentive I am assured for he knows of our companionship, Siren accompanies me because she is more content with my presence then without it and I enjoyed her company on the journey here.�

I nodded once more, the words wholly honest for what else should they be? Eden would know already why it was, of all Taviora�s wolves, why I was sent to Glorall, a slight chuckle given to part from between my lips at Coza�s plan in this before my gaze returned to his own.

�I would offer you basic terms, at first, to see how well it may work with the possibility of more in a year�s time should it suit you and Coza both. I propose an agreement that no wolves will be stolen by either pack from the other, that the wolves of Glorall and Taviora may pass through each other�s lands if it is required instead of being forced to travel around and may seek shelter in either pack if needed. Would you find this agreeable? In a year�s time perhaps we might discuss an increase in friendship between our packs but for now I feel small steps may be best for both.�

I nodded once more, head inclined briefly to Siren should she care to add anything in this moment before my attention returned a final time to Eden, if he desired to change or add to such terms then so be it, I was more then willing to listen.

�As the diplomat of Taviora I offer you these things- as your friend you know you only need call and I will come- whatever the reason.�
