Altar of Twilight Get cool, boy

Vallkyrie had mentioned Torbine before, he thought. He knew it had been a forested place, at least, and that her family had come from there. He also knew that she'd had a sister living with her in Neverwinter Forest, but when he learned that Valencia and Hao had gone off together, his ears perked. "Haoniyao?" He asked. He'd met Hao a couple times- he was the sort of fellow who was both dependable as a skilled hunter, but also had that quality of being loyal to the point where a friendship sparked once, still seemed to linger even in long times apart. "I live Hao. I think-" He said, and he almost said something that was typical and a bit sexist, before he reconsidered. Valencia and Vallkyrie were tough, and were owed more credit. He smiled. "I think Haoniyao'll be in good hands, then, if he's with your sister." It was more or less a simple switch of names- but it made him feel as though perhaps, he was doing the right thing. His knee-jerk reaction all the time was to want to be the knight in shining armour to whatever women he met, because it made him feel good to protect and help others, but...He was beginning to understand that strength came in different forms. And that he shouldn't treat someone different simply because of their gender. 

It seemed, though, that Vallkyrie wasn't keen on simply leaving, and while she didn't think she had anywhere to go, the answer felt fairly obvious to Bronco. "Then stay," He said, "I mean, I don't...I don't know what's going to happen after our scouting mission, whether or not we find...But we'll check in with Kukutux next, and see if they know, and...Maybe the Glen'll survive this, so," He said, and realized that all he was promising her, was that there were a couple fractured packs that had no idea what would become of them. That wouldn't exactly give her a stable family life. "But you could stay with me, and we'll just...Figure it out. If you want," He said.
