Broken Boulder and he will drag the whole universe into war

The striking man spoke of Lily, and Alarian felt a spike of something in his chest— disappointment? Nonetheless, he was a potential member, so the Governor's expression remained unchanged. He nodded in response, tail swishing now; more from agitation, but he tamed it to be passed as a friendly gesture.
We have room, He told him— before he could continue, a more familiar voice called out to the pair. Vilkas— Ali supposed that was the man's name, then. Though he had not doubted the stranger's claim before, Lily's presence confirmed it. He greeted her with a nod, then looked back to Vilkas. Lily is right; we take in anyone, and we don't expect a lot. Respect everyone, contribute when you're able. You'll start as a Cipher, our undetermined rank, until you've established your role in the pack.
Alarian glanced briefly to Lily. I'm sure Lily wouldn't mind showing you around and telling you a bit more; I'll need to let the Chancellor know we have a new member. It wasn't really that pressing, but under the easy mask he wore Alarian felt tense and uncomfortable with the familiarity between Lily and Vilkas. He wasn't sure which he envied more, but he tucked it under the cloaking weight of duty. It was a good enough excuse to ignore it, anyway.
