Firestone Hot Springs sitting on a secret beach

The way he defended his home was admirable. It would've been simple enough to tell her a story of a happy and well-protected home, but instead he was honest- laying all the grisly details on the table, pulling the skeletons out of the closet and taking responsibility for them. And now this boy, trained by the cruel warlord, had taken over, determined to create a better home. Huā listened thoughtfully, poker-faced, though she could only be impressed by his loyalty, his dedication to righting the wrongs of the past. Besides- this boy was not necessarily the same as his old dead leader. At least, Huā wished to believe he was as good as he seemed right now. 

A moment of silence, and then she cleared her throat. I admire the way you make your own idea of what this pack is like, rather than follow the 'terrible' man who led before. Those who broke boundaries created history. Huā had come from a place where women were mothers and healers and men were soldiers and leaders. Such standards did not remain in Yuèlóng; Huā was determined to break them down, and try her best from letting her childhood teachings unconciously slip back into her values. You keep this alliance with Hydra, create a better home. I like the way you choose to lead now... what would you think then, of alliance between us? She offered hopefully, eyes flashing up to him, respect now clear in that seaglass gaze.
