King Elk Forest put your hand in mine

"Loyalty is truly hard to gain, but once you have it, you know it in your heart." There was only a few individuals that Célnes could trust as well. She knew in her heart her brother would always have her side, but the same wasn't given to the youngest siblings, as Freobern was more devout then all of them combine, and Ken.. Was distant, and preferred to lie his way around the lands.

Then her dearest guard, who surely was in the background at the moment watching them so. @Germanicus stuck to her side at all times, even if he didn't appear so, she knew he would be within the shadows. Dutiful, and because he wasn't family, her trust in him was more then all the rest of the Deorwine's combined.

It was hard to gain, and even harder to trust any else. She wondered when the day would come, that Kingslend would pledge to the Kings, and not to the High Elk.

Blasphemy thoughts once more.

"You see we also take this lake," before them was the grand Tuktu Weir, "normally we would not claim a body of water, but being it is so close to our forest, we must guard it so. It is especially close to some neighbors that hide behind those stoney walls."
