Every Story Has Two Sides

His body was still hot with anger, but as he found himself before Kagerus and the topic not on Will, her daughter, his body slowly begins to relax. He notes to Kagerus his absence, because I was out looking for your daughter he thinks to himself, though probably best to not say it aloud. She gracefully acknowledges and excuses his lack of presence, perhaps it was because she knew he would not leave while Will hung around.

He mentions Hyaline, curious of how many members remained in the Cove, and the current state of his beloved home. Kagerus admits she has not been to Hyaline since the plague, bound to the Cove as the protector of the sanctuary. He nods his head in acknowledgement, he did not know the queens on a personal level, though he knew through Will that they cared for Hyaline, and he can not imagine the pain she must be feeling from not being able to visit her home. I am sure that the Hyaline members thank you for your sacrifice and they would be wrong to not.

He offers himself to visit other kingdoms, she was not able to, and he was more than willing. It would be a great distraction from the situation at hand, his body twitches as the thought lingered through his mind once again, forcing himself to relax he looks back at Kagerus. She notes that his presence would be welcomed, though Hyaline is not ready just yet to venture out. She would make sure that he would be made aware of the visits, and that was all he could ask for Thank you he responds simply.

Just when he thought the conversation was over, the queen inquires about his parents, noting she had never met them and has come to the conclusion they did not raise him. His gaze looks for hers, a conversation he avoided, only trusting Will with his secrets. That is correct, they were very good nomads, Father brought me to my sister Keeper, and she brought me to Hyaline.

A subtle smile appears on his maw, the memory of his first encounter with the young Warlight, the fascination he had with her horns, how they quickly grew to be the best of friends. His parents may not have had a huge role in his life, but letting Keeper raise him was the best gift they could have given him, bringing Will into his life was the best thing for him. Kagerus.... his gaze remains on hers.... Have you and Solace ever......loved someone else...? He had to force the words from his mouth, but he did not know what love was like, should he really be jealous of Raul? Perhaps he shouldn't have left so easily, and he really wanted to find Warlight, to take back the harsh words he gave her, but he could not pass up the wise words from someone who has lived a lifetime longer than he has.
