My gaze goes over the large wolfess’ visage, I have a feeling I disturbed something, I might even see a flicker of frustration behind her eyes but it was easy enough to shrug off and let go. This was my duty, and this was her duty to answer my calls when really all I was wanting to do was help her and serve her in the lands. Her words weren’t exactly encouraging either. My ears flick back somewhat perturbed, ”I never said I doubted you Lady Pharoah. Not sure what would give you such an idea.” For I had no clue what would, I told her what I felt, that I only wished to see the lands success and wished to help her achieve that. Where was any doubt in those words? Nor did I assume that this woman was like her grandmother, despite trying to take up her wish. That much could be told already, my grandmother, little as I knew her, was a well spoken woman with dark tendencies. Given the sounds and choices of words the fem before me though I could very much tell she was not my grandmother. I say nothing more as I draw alongside of the woman, wondering if that frustration I thought I saw in her eyes was reason for this seemingly rough treatment. That or maybe she felt threatened by me for having such a history with the old Queen of Asteraia. I doubted the later, after all while I was certain I could very much hold my own, I had no desire to lead these lands for myself, simply help guide.

I couldn’t know her nature though in our first meeting, but I could feel it. I have talked to quite a few wolves in my lives of many different walks and would like to think I was pretty decent at reading them. Not perfect, as no one was, but as I followed along, wondering where we were going she finally pauses. Ah. It clicks then, I suppose I did say I wanted to get to know her, she was taking it fairly literally it seemed as she showed me the beach to which she grew as a child, looking around the lands and proclaiming that she had lived her. It was more than I had with the lands. The only attachment I had was that it was the land to which my grandmother owned and eventually was buried. I was raised in Iromar, in Taviora then was placed here in the early years of my adulthood to ensure Halcyon did what my grandmother asked before her passing and Nevermore left with my mother.

I give a nod of understanding but then the deep sigh came from my new Queen. My gaze fixes on her, puzzled as she begins to speak at length, though it was in a language was was not familiar with. It was… perhaps more like the Nahuatl the Aztec family spoke, it was far from the latin I heard the angels do, but all of it was very much not familiar to me. I heard her say my name once, it stuck out sorely amongst all the rest, but I could only look at her more confused than before, and tilt my head slightly. The wolfess seemed to note the look on my face and shook her head slightly. I could tell she was much more fluent and vocal in that language than that of the common tongue.

Switching back to the more short phrased english then, I thought quietly for a moment. ”I wish to be your diplomat. I also wish to learn the language it is you just spoke so that you and I get to know each other more.” I ask of her, perhaps boldly, but I want to learn it if it’s there and if she’s more fluent in it perhaps there would be more understanding between the both of us in time. I could, maybe, also help her in taking up more of this tongue, but as well as she understood my words I just felt perhaps she preferred the others. I know some angels prefer latin for its purity to the common tongue spoke by many others, I have no idea of her lineage but perhaps it was the same, or at least similar.

”I was thinking my first diplomatic task could be to retrieve the wolfess stolen to Taviora and broker a deal for us to have a treaty, or alliance, that we simply will not steal from one another.” I say perhaps a bit boldly, but I do still have a soft spot for the forest, after all I had been close to Zelda and Hyrule during my time there. I was certain I could, at least, return the wolfess that was supposed to be making her way here and had been taken away. Now I just had to see if the Lady Pharaoh would allow me the chance to show I could help Asteraia and her in general.
