Duck Lake Say that love

I do not promise you the world, Kaertok corrected gently, but I could promise strong children. Yours would not be my first, and although the other mothers did not wish for my involvement, I hear that those children have grown up strong and able. The fact that one of her children had left was not surprising to Kaertok. It was not a uncommon for yearlings to decide to travel for some length of time when they were old enough. Kaertok had done the same, spreading his wings once he was old enough to do so (although he had told his family that he was going and that he would be back, which he had done without fault).

As you know, loyalty can only be proven through time. I have been here since winter, helping to recruit, even without promise of power or children. Whoever this new guy was, he was... well, new. Kaertok had the upper hand in that regard. Ultimately, I'd still want to make sure the children were guaranteed a home. If Legion wasn't strong enough by the time you were due, would you join others? he asked. Rusalka was his obvious first choice, but he didn't voice that just yet.
