Blacktail Deer Plateau [j] inhale to the top of my lungs

"I understand," Luxuria accepted. Once her loyalty was pledged, that was it -- all it took. "I live, sleep, and breathe them, sir. They are absolute." Lux admitted letting out a breath, her thoughts going to Persephone for a few seconds, though she was perturbed as to why her specifically. Maybe because Persephone was (mostly, but Lux nitpicked) a perfect example of a Spartan wife and Lux the epitome of a Spartan man - even given her biological gender. A young soldier, trained for war without a choice, but the teachings became her lifeblood, until living any other was was not a possibility. "I don't know how to describe it really," Lux paused thoughtfully. To some, the Spartan way was cruel, crude and authoritarian but they were strong. Even the wives. There was no place for the weak or sickly in their society. "The pack my mentor brought me to, Thantos Valley was ...have you ever heard of Spartans? That is what we of Thantos Valley are - Spartans. The boys are stripped of family and taught to fight as a young age, the girls conditioned to be wives." She realized the potential irony in that and would not have been surprised if he pointed it out. "My mentors wife had a vision of me and could not produce children of her own. He saved me from the vagabond life of my parents and made me his legacy." It was simple and perhaps cruel but Lux did not begrudge Agrippa.

"I left because my mentor required it of me though I parted on excellent terms with the pack. Personally, I think his wife just wanted me gone," A soft snort of amusement left Luxuria at that. "You're the first pack I came across. And I figure that you have to start somewhere. Admittedly, not much. I heard of these Teekon Wilds in passing, but the loner was reluctant to share much more as I escorted his passage through the valley." Luxuria spoke honestly having no need and further, no desire, to deceive.
