The Sunspire two bottle a whiskey for the way

Liri introduced the Blacktail Deer Plateau pair, and Rue offered a smile and a friendly tail-wag as she was named. Never one to beat around the bush, Liri brought up the alliance straight away. Her directness did not surprise Rue, but the words she chose were curious. "We should put our conflict in the past." Rue's eyes flicked to Liri, but she gave no other outward indication of her confusion. What conflict, exactly? 

Rue trusted Liri though, and she knew that if the alphess thought they could be in danger then they would have prepared-- perhaps brought along one of the pack's warriors as a bodyguard, like this Treason woman. Rue continued to listen with interest as the "simple and basic" terms of an alliance were laid out. The young woman had never been present for the negotiation of an alliance, and so what was simple and basic to the others was new to her. The aspiring scout knew she ought to listen well, for someday it could be her responsibility to carry on a similar conversation without the assistance of her alpha.
