I already felt rather comfortable here, and it was certainly a different to place to live. Iromar had some interesting swamps and moores, but I won’t miss the constant thread of an angry gator or anything like that. I also at least have some breathing room in hopes that Thorne will not find me so quickly living here...once he does though, the fields are pretty open. At least I will see him coming, and so will everyone else. Things were a bit more hidden in Iromar, a bit more easy to get away with things.

I listened as he spoke of leading the land, and ensuring it is led well. I guess I never considered someone of lesser intent taking over...and yet I feel my spine tingle at the thought. Almost like I knew my imprint had intentions one day. He was so dominating, I cannot imagine him lying low forever. It would take wolves like Arturio to battle someone like Thorne if he ever rose to power. But maybe Thorne will just go off on his own and call it a day. Not just Thorne though, there are other wolves would could be less than savory wanting to lead...so I am glad that it is Arturio. I know he fights for the good things.

”Well, I think you will do a fine job!” I say with an excited nod. He replies about Thorne and how it was only logical...and that he would do it again. I felt my heart pound with happiness from that notion, and yet right after feel a wave of anxiety. Anxiety because...I know there will be again. I want to deny it. I want to push it away and just pretend I will be left alone and everything will be okay, but that would not be the truth. He will be back. One day. ”I hope you never have to...but who am I kidding, he...he will find me, and he will be back, I just don’t know when,” I say with a slight frown, though a slightly determined one. ”I’ll try my best to keep him at bay once he eventually finds me here, don’t you worry!” I say lifting my head with a nod, trying to handle it myself. I didn’t even think of Glorall being a problem now that Arturio is alpha. Who knows what Thorne will do and tell Eden if he gets mad that I am here with Arturio. I hope it doesn’t affect their relations but...for all I know he will spin it as Art and me attacking him earlier. Ugh. What a mess.

He says that I can of course stay and my front paws dance a little as my smile grows again. He then teases that he will not play favorites for ranks and my green eyes narrow a bit. ”Ayeee I will be like...your top diplomat! See, watch this,” I say, looking back and forth, seeing a small patch of brush that I then rush behind. I then take a moment hidden before popping out, confident yet not overly so, smile with slight tongue on my face, as I prance closer again. ”Greetings! I am the diplomat from Asteraia, representing King Arturio, don’t you wanna talk about...uh….relations and shit?” I say, tilting my head and muzzle upward slightly with my eyes and smile growing, my paw reaching out in a poke type motion. After holding that for a moment I say, ”Well it would be something like that anyway, ya know, depends on the situation and all.”
