Deepwood Weald What the Night King wants

Damien couldn't pretend that Drakonis' revealing debut wasn't influencing Damien's judgment of Aries, but he truly cared for the younger male's input and thoughts on his decisions. Nyx trusted him with her soul, and if she could do that Damien guessed he should try it too. He had been loyal, diligent and effective, and those were the values that Damien valued most.

The young soldier's comment was straight to the point and accurate, much like something Damien would have answered himself if he'd been asked the same question. Correct, but those things I already know... He had assessed the territory thoroughly before deciding to settle down, and he was certain it was strategically gifted or The Melonii's agenda. What he really wanted to get from Aries was a deeper valuation of what was supposed to become their home, his children's home. Tell me what do you really think Damien urged, looking into the male's eyes for a moment to make it clear that he wanted him to be honest.

@Aries if they keep discussing the defense tactics of the territory we could make this a tactician thread!
