Duskfire Glacier I just love a good mystery, don't you?

The approach of the child didn't strike much surprise. Frankly, it was an interesting sight to behold. So young and already so bold.

Upon the suggestion Lane offered, Askari wished to answer only with a small laugh, but would not. He makes none better, nor none less. You are a fine one, I'd say. As evident by your words, you care for your people and wish to see them safe and successful in the world.

Words pausing for a brief moment, the red wolf's attention flickered over the child a second time. He would not grow any quicker, but he certainly wanted to. A young man prepared to soon defend his borders and his family. It was admirable and it showed in her dim gaze.

Chuffing lightly, she continued. There is a middle ground between both. Strength by means of heart. You see... I only said that there are some who chose to threaten and some who are a bit more tame. Those who show off aggression are using their physicality in the place of words... But- there are far fewer who are as composed in a manner such as you. You lead because of your people, not because you desire authority. I may have judged you a bit harshly upon first seeing you. For that, you have my sincerest apologies.

Swiping a small tongue across her dry lips, Askari gave some form of smile, dipping her head to accompany that apology.
