This was love. Raquin embraced the baby prince in her arms. Vali could see that she quickly grew fond of him. From monster to monster, he could feel her imprinting on Hasani. The sight of seeing someone he loved, loving the being he had a hand in creating forced the Viking lord to smile. The red haired huntress looked up suddenly, vowing to protect the prince of vikings by all costs unlike her parents had done for her. At that very moment Vali was slightly shocked, his facial expression proved it so. He realized soon after that Hasani truly was blessed. The white-haired giant nodded. Raquin then went on to explain her situation with Nessie. The creature was a private individual and apparently made it hard to be found.
Nessie must have been an extremely powerful individual. She was able to speak to Raquin through dreams, omens and other telepathic methods. It was tragic news. Val knew how much Nessie meant to his dear. As the conversation continued, the soon-to-be Jarl added that she was glad Vali and his lover escaped. She meant Priscilla, the only woman who he grew fond of besides his mother. Priscilla was the mother of his child, however, she was not Vali's queen. Their relationship was strange- complicated almost. Though their love was an immovable force to be reckoned with, Vali was not truly in love with the purple-haired mistress. Who knows, perhaps the Viking King would never find his queen.
"Aye. The gods may still be with us." he replied calmly.
The reptilian woman was surprised when her superior called to her for leadership. The person in front of him was the best candidate for Jarl.
"Good. You are strong, smart, stern, genuine, reliable, and Icebergan. I can see nobody else fit to govern. Of course, I will be there to guide you and protect our people, but now the village will be in your hands." He began with a genuine smile before standing.
"With that being said, I hope that we can go in a week from now? If you're too impatient, I can give you the coordinates. I know you like your privacy." The Desiertan fished into his pocket before handing Raquin a slip of paper. It had the exact coordinates for the abandoned village. Once Raquin had given the prince to him he would place the baby back inside the carrier on his chest.
"I hope you plan on going too, Concord." He smiled brightly.
"I'm leaving to Astera today, I won't be back for a few days, so I'll see you then Aye?" he nodded, placing the sleeping Hasani into his carrier.
" I've spoken to my father about deeming you Jarl soon, he's probably already told the others. If you do change your mind, let me know. It's not a decision you make in the heat of the moment- so, yeah... Anyway, I've gotta get going. Love you, see ya soon- say bye Has- Oh, he's sleep- alright bye!" He said quickly leaving the room. That was all.
