Redsand Canyon Friendship

Once Germanicus was before her, Alys felt quite out of depth. Though their values were different, they were both leaders - or, in her case, she was attempting to be one - and as she looked at him, she felt her foundation shake. Even as she tried to plan what to say, she pondered one excruciating question: did she have what it took to be a leader, or were her goals set too high?

Alys fixed a smile on her muzzle, and she bowed her head to Germanicus. "I'm Alys, of Kinfolk. We had a rather bold trespasser a couple weeks back, but with my children coming so soon, I just don't have the energy to patrol." It had taken much of what she had just to climb out of the valley to come here. "I thought an alliance might help..." Her sunny gaze flicked to Towhee. Then, she cleared her throat, and said in a stronger, clearer voice, "And I was wondering if you'd come across any loners who might not be fit for Mereo. We'd love to have anyone in the vale, to be honest." She chuckled, a little sheepish.
