His response is not necessarily typical and so, I am pleased to hear it. He will do his best, he says, to create a purpose. Whatever it takes. Those words are so much heavier than so many assume; spoken frivolously, one might imagine a grueling day's work or several sleepless nights but oh, they can be so much more venomous. I wonder how much snake is in him, how sharp his teeth can be. For now, though, I do my best to simply offer him an agreeable smile, lop sided and stiff but there nonetheless. He's given me the right answer and he should be permitted to know that, after all.

His energy changes, though, when I ask of him and for a moment, I am inclined to believe he is hiding something. There are many secrets in the world and I despise them all because I do not know them. His included now that I am aware of them. It makes my brow flinch up but I work immediately to smooth my features, taking a curt step back and allowing him his space to speak. I watch each word leave his mouth, seeking out the weariness or lies he speaks; it is less a lie, I think, and more a hesitancy. Spirane? At least, I think, there are few noteworthy wolves in such a pack to be concerned about. He is certainly no prince, and no child of Daenerys. That would hardly have mattered and so, this matters even less.

I tilt my head at him now, my eyes resting on his with a sudden calmness. "And who, then, do you think you will be in the future?" Spirane was where he was born, but not his home if his words are to be believed. Interesting, that. A curious thing. It is much the same with myself and Diveen; I was born in the dirt there but I never felt attached. Perhaps there is something to be seen in this boy; like water on a clear day. "There is potential in you. Glorall will be the one to bring it out. No other." I speak with a declarative tone. This is not symbolic act. This is Glorall taking possession of this boy; I do not want any other to have this potential, I think. We need ambition but more important, I want ambition.

I rest in silence now, my eyes narrowing slightly as I continue to watch his face, searching for his reaction among the stillness of it all. If he takes this well, then I shall find him a den immediately and so, I shall being prying his mind apart just as soon.
