The Heartwood A Pledge

Majesty laughed aloud - something he did not do often - when Tyrande mentioned being an assassin. But he continued to listen seriously until she was done speaking. Then he sat in thought for a moment. Silvermane also mentioned wanting to be an Outrider. He thought having two would probably be all right - considering not many wolves would probably think to look for a pack on an island.

He nodded to her. "I think you being a healer and an outrider would be just fine. But…" He sighed. "I know it might be hard to leave Silvertip behind. I know it will be hard for me. I have made friends here. But I promise I will make the leaving worth it. And yes - I will give you plenty of alone time to do your studying. Perhaps you can find new poisonous plants and animals to study on the island that you wouldn't find here. And I know that over time, we will all begin to feel like family to one another.

"Also," he continued, "I don't want you - or any other member of my pack - to feel like they have to hold anything back from me. I want you to show me respect, of course, but I also always want you to speak your mind. I want everyone within the pack to tell each other how they are doing. That includes me. If I'm doing something you don't like, don't be afraid to tell me. I will respect everyone's opinion. Do you understand?"
