Blacktail Deer Plateau sincerely in light

Wrapping this up since it's older and the important business is done, LOL. If you'd rather I didn't, PM me.

Allies until proven otherwise. That was, then, neutrality, really, but Akhlut was not going to enlighten the woman. It was what he'd wanted in any case, an assurance that his pack members' travel would remain unimpeded, and that he would not find himself suddenly beseiged by Blacktail Deer Plateau for settling a land that was too close to theirs, or some such casus belli. "Very well, then, Hawkeye," Akhlut said, his tone clearly conclusive. "Blacktail Deer Plateau wolves need have no concern from Horizon Ridge wolves at this time, and we will continue to be pleasant neighbors."

His tone indicated without words that if her wolves started trouble, the pact would be forfeit. If any of his wolves tried such stupidity, they would no longer be one of his wolves. "Until we meet again, Hawkeye, may you walk in ever in Light." A smile that might have been charming if directed towards another seemed only like a smirk when bestowed upon Hawkeye, but Akhlut couldn't stop himself from taunting the other woman lightly. She oughn't take it seriously, but if she did, that was surely a blemish on her character, not on his. Akhlut departed with a spring in his step.
