A Proposition for You Dearie! [Alpha Desmond]

Nimble paws darted over the land, making no sound. A shadowy colored brute, slunk from the trees, his jaws parted in the heat. Summer was taking its toll on the packs. Even the arrival of evening wasn't enough to deter the heat. So instead of baking out in the fields, trying to collect herbs. Healer Crow had decided to today was as good as any to strike up a conversation with their mighty leader. He had a notion he wished to discuss with the male. One he wasn't sure how their Alpha would take. That however didn't deter the scruffy looking healer as he made his way towards the clearing where the Alpha's den lay. Hoping his leader would be around, he didn't much feel like tracking him down in the heat. Short maw to the ground, Crow sucked in the air around him. The Alpha's scent was strong all over these parts. However he could discern a more recent trail. Bristle like tail swooshing behind him, Crow trotted faster.

Soon the brute arrived at the Alpha's den. Here he paused and cocked his head to one side. " Alpha Desmond?" He called out his voice low. " Alpha Desmond, you wouldn't by chance have a moment to speak would you?" He inquires, leaning back on his haunches to see if the brute would indeed appear. His head held low as always, beady eyes flickering around. In all outward appearances he was calm or at least what qualified as calm for him. However inside his chest was a buzz with excitement. He'd been waiting some time to speak to the Alpha, the warm weather however had made him rather busy. He needed to collect all the herbs he could before they became scorched by the heat.

I never expected to find myself here, but now that I am... I can't see myself being anywhere else.

On these days, the sun was out and bright at later times than usual, but the heat was ever more present. It was important for the wolves in charge of border checks, to get out before the sun had a chance to scorch their fur. Desmond made not of this and arose early that morning. He tried to keep to his border the best he could, but his thirst was strong. When was the last time he drank water? He felt parched and yet, he knew he needed to continue. Through his walk, he found a small stream that seemed like it was fading soon. It could not last anymore than a day or two at most. He leaned down to the water and slowly lapped up the bits he could get until he was no longer thirsty. By this time, the sun was coming up and the temperature was rising as well.

Desmond made his descent back to the pack and continued marking as he went along. When he made it to the pack clearing, he saw a wolf seated outside his den. He did not know how long he had been waiting there or what he needed. In fact, he could barely tell which wolf it was. There were a lot of black wolves in Agavos, and yet, this one looked like none of the ones he had a good relationship with. He approached from the rear and spoke gently. "Ah Crow, how long have you been waiting for me to come out of my den?" He gave a slight smile and moved to sit across from the Healer. "Is everyone alright? Are you treating any pack wolves? Have you met with any of the pups yet?"

with great responsibility comes a lot of bullshit...

Crow hadn't expected the Alpha's voice to come from behind. Whipping around the scruffy little brute's eyes gleamed. " Alpha Desmond!" He exclaims a wide grin slipping over his short maw. He bowed his head, extending a leg as he did so. " I didn't realize I was waiting on an empty den..." He cackles, bemused by his mistake. " I suppose the heat must of gotten to my senses..." He comments, chortling about his mistake. " No matter I only just arrived." Some may of been embarrassed but not Crow. He took most things in stride, his social mistakes included. Silver flecked face low, he cocked his head sideways a grin still upon his maw. His pale orbs focused somewhere around Desmond's teeth. His head held low, his tail sweeping the ground behind him. At the tawny leader's inquires, Crow shifts his nimble paws. " Oh no need to worry! No need! Everything is well, here in our humble abode." He murmurs his tone gleeful as ever. " No, no I didn't come to discuss disease or injury sir..." He adds feeling a twinge of disappointment. Though that would make life far more interesting! he thought. Smirking some he shakes his skull at Desmond's last inquiry. " No, not yet! Not yet! I'll be sure to properly introduce myself to them though... Eh? Perhaps one will show a potential for healing. I could use the extra help..." He adds his voice trailing off thoughtfully.

Realizing he was getting off topic, Crow chuffs. " Apologies... I have nearly forgotten what I came here for sir..." His eyes flicker over Desmond carefully. He'd never even spoken with the brute, however he felt at ease. Perhaps it was just his odd little mind playing tricks on him. Yet the big mighty leader of Agavos seemed down right... normal. Chortling some, he continued. " I have a proposition for you, if you'd be so inclined to hear me out?" Not waiting for a response, the scruffy brute continued on. " Where to start...? Hmm.. Well Sir, I was wandering the neutral lands when I bumped into a healer from Helidos. Her name is Xora, she is quite skilled in her profession." He compliments thinking of the odd little fae. " Anyways we got a talking and realized just how much we could learn from one another. So then of course my mind it got to working... And well sir, we came up with a curious idea. One I thought you might like to hear..." He continues, his beady gaze roaming over Desmond. " You see what if we had a way of sharing that information? What if all the healers from each of the packs could share their knowledge and experiences? Would it not benefit all who were involved? Hmm? Xora and I seem to think so. So my proposition for you is this... what if we formed an alliance of sorts with the other packs? One in which once a month, under a truce. The healers of each of the packs met up and shared their knowledge with one another? We could learn so much from one another! Better ourselves and all would benefit!" he purrs, his tail thumping the ground. His beady eyes flickering once more over Desmond, curious as to what the brute would think of his plan. " Before you go and make your judgements. I must inform you that I did stumble upon the Alpha of Helidos. I shared my thoughts with him, and he has agreed to meeting the pair of us if you are so inclined. Of course this all depends on your verdict...." He finishes his voice trailing off.

[ Hopefully this makes sense. It's a bit all over the place... Suppose it fits his personality though lol ]

So in order to get the thread with the three of them going, Desmond agrees to meet Sitka.
