Kjalarr was a curious beast by nature — a trait that he got honestly from Ragnar. He believed, as his father did, as the Allfather was willing to sacrifice for: that knowledge was power and even what is considered to be the most inconsequential of details could be turned to advantage. That wasn't to claim he was asking Devin for any sort of malicious intent — because he wasn't, mind — but it also served it's actual purpose: to help him get to know his packmates. She spoke of a place he'd never heard of. Quicksilver Hollow. She informed him that her, her siblings and her father left to find a new place, her father with the intention of building his own “empire” and her with the desire to take advantage of her freedom. A very simple desire, Kjalarr considered, but no doubt an important one. He couldn't blame her. He, too, valued independence and hated oppression. For the most part, Caiaphas was a liberal Queen and he greatly admired and appreciated that trait in her. She did not try to oppress him, nor control him. Anything he did for her, he did of his own accord. Of his own want.

“I get the feeling you think that a pack is like a cage but it is not,” Kjalarr spoke softly, fixing her in his gaze at they walked. In truth, he didn't need to see where he was going — he'd ran these patrols enough that he could walk the borders in his sleep. “at least not Saltwinter.” Of course Kjalarr would talk up his own pack but there was sincerity in his words that he hoped she would take into her consideration. “I know what it's like to feel trapped, to feel controlled. I hate it too,” He confessed. “Before I joined Caiaphas and Saltwinter I had joined a pack led by a King,” Kjalarr's mouth twisted around the word until it was dripping with unbidden venom. Even now he hated speaking of Charon and the thought of the Moonspear Alpha filled the Viking with a rage that could induce the most experienced of Berserkers. “who was an ass to me, who tried and failed to control me. It was so bad that for a while it created a nasty rift between my twin and I.” Things with Floki were a lot better now and it seemed both brothers learned to not bring up what caused the rift in the first place, though Kjalarr knew he was equally to blame. He had aided in it's creation as well.

“Caiaphas is a great Queen, there is none that is her equal.” And Kjalarr would follow her to the ends of the earth, without her even asking him to. “Where is your family now? Are they here in the Wilds or did you split?” He inquired, wanting to ask of her mother but hesitated unsure if that was a tender subject or not and did not want to pry into any more than she was willing to tell him.

you still wonder if you're
a ferocious beast or a saint
but you're neither because
you're infinitely more —
