Northstar Vale State of My Head

He was more than happy to finally have a place that he could call his own. Granted, he had rested his head more than a few nights within the Empire's lands, but there was something different about being a visitor and being at home. Collision could not dismiss the kindness that he had been shown here and he found that he was rather happy. 

 Reiko seemed to be equally thrilled as she momentarily questioned his decision and then expressed her jubilance. A soft chuckle vibrated past his lips, but then he grow a modicum more serious, "Everyone here seems happy. I want to guard that happiness," He wanted her to understand that he was promising not just his loyalty to protect the borders--but to protect each of their individual joys. Reiko's coming bundle for example!

 "I don't believe so. I'll mostly be focusing on my training and getting to know more about these lands," When one was more aware it was safe to say they were better at protecting what they had.
