won't take anyone down if i crawl tonight - Vayko - Jan 20, 2021 Discussing names and rules @Viorel
[dohtml]what i really need now is a double shot of crown
It was all starting to come together. He hated to admit it, but Viorel had a point. It would be easier for them to establish themselves here, and suddenly the Estuary almost seemed less appealing than establishing new roots… he loved the sea. He missed the saltwater tang the fish there had, but his ambitions were much stronger than any singular piece of prey ever could be. It had been a turning point in the young Valle’s life… and he was ready for it. He had been exploring the territory that Viorel had found, scoping it out in order to learn the land, learn the borders they might establish. He’d been looking at possible den locations, pup locations because he recognized that as leaders, it was likely that one or both of them would need to find ladies to bear children… a terrifying thought. He’d leave that to Vi this year. He was younger, and to be quite frank, he was not ready to be a father thank you very much, no matter how silver of a tongue he could have when he wanted to. He hummed as he settled down, a rabbit hanging in his jaws he had caught on the way. He set it down and let out a call for his cousin. They had a lot to discuss, and Vayko was very much in business mode. He started to tear into the rabbit, only eating half which was easily a mouthful or two with how the winter months affected the prey as well as the predator. He would offer the rest to his cousin when he arrived.

As anticipated, it did not take Vi long to reach his stoop, his eyes never leaving him as he lightly nudged the rabbit towards him in a silent offer, seeing the way his eyes had drifted to it upon his arrival before the words rang in the air, a goofy grin on his features with a light roll of the eyes. “Oh, shove it.” The words fell teasingly from his maw. He was one for titles, but only where they were befitting, and now did not seem the place. “We have some things to discuss.” He was certain his cousin had gleamed as much, but he felt it best to clarify and make sure that they were in the same page. He gave his paws a few swift licks, cleaning the blood that had stained from the rabbit as he gave his cousin time to settle in for the conversation they were about to have. “If we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it right and that means, above all else, we need a kickass name.” He felt that was the most important, though it certainly wasn’t the only thing. “And a strong pack needs a set of rules. We don’t have a council or anything already established, we have free reign and we can do whatever we want with it.” He had to admit, he was quite excited at the prospect. "But eat first... it isn't much, but it's better than a completely empty belly."

Vayko was fond of a tease, even if they were often at his expense it seemed, but there was simply no time. If they were going to do this, there were logistics. His Aunt Modesto had taught him a thing or two about managing things, even if he hadn’t realized it at the time. It had taken quite a bit of looking back at it to realize the lessons she had given him. Besides, it was already bound to be chaotic, between him and his cousin. Still, he watched his cousin devour what was left, a grin as he nodded. He hummed at the suggestion before shaking his head. “No, that sounds weird.” He hummed as he considered it, looking at the tree that actually blocked the river. He actually happened to know the kind of tree, a soft smile on his features. “Dead Empress Backwater?” He asked, hinting at a potential double meaning over the lost mind of their grandmother, a small tip of the hat to the former Empress who had run the Estuary. He had to assume the entire pack had been scooped up, which meant the lands would be barren of Valles… after all, why take the younger generation without displacing the older generations as well? It just seemed to fit, but it wasn’t just his call to make. He could handle working with a partner as long as they were on equal footing, but that meant Vayko himself could not make any decisions for the lot of them either.

Vayko hated to admit it, mainly because he hated to admit that he was anything less than perfect, but Viorel worked well with him and made up for his faults and even the few insecurities he did have. This could actually work. Admittedly, after their first conversation, he had been a little skeptical, but then Viorel had found this patch of land, and the more Vayko paced and explored, the more he came to the stunning realization that he liked the idea of calling this patch of land home. Why wouldn’t he? He agreed to the name with a leap to his paws, and Vayko couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “Calm down, a little decorum, Vi.” That was ironic, coming from him who leapt into action almost every change he got… almost. He listened as he started to detail many thoughts that Vayko had echoed at one point or another in his mind. “Definitely no council. I think we both ought to have an advisor, but I don’t know who mine would be, at least not right now.” He considered that perhaps his sister might do the job, or maybe Andrey. He trusted family. He wished his Aunt Modesto was there. Sure, she had been on the council, but she had given him some real wisdom over the years. “I reckon when it comes to breeding you might have to go out and find some floozy to knock up, Vi…” He trailed off as well. “Pups have always been a symbol of strength… at least for this year, I think it ought to be just you and whoever you have pups with, and maybe in later years we allow other litters, but with the pack being so young, one litter better be enough.: Vayko certainly wasn’t having pups, even if he were old enough. He wasn’t exactly father material as it stood.

Vayko admittedly had little tact to his name. He said it as it was, the way he saw it, and it was as simple as that. Did he have a tendency to pepper in a few lies from time to time? Sure, but honestly he saw no harm in that, even if it could, indeed, be very harmful depending on just what he peppered in. He would miss the sand and the salt-water, but when it came down to it the appeal of making his own future, creating a pack in his own image of what a pack should be… well, his and Viorel’s image… that was what he wanted to do. He hummed and nodded at the mention of Andrey. “He’s a good choice.” Vayko had the tendency to only trust family, because blood was bound to you no matter how you spun it, and the idea of having his cousin as an advisor suited him well. “Perhaps Shar… or Xules if we ever find her.” Really, each of their siblings had something to bring to the table. He didn’t really know anyone else either, except Clover but he didn’t know her well enough to trust her or consider that she might be advisor material. He watched his cousin freeze with a flicker of amusement and a soft snort, nodding. “Yeah, clearly it’s gotta be someone who won’t bolt.” He stated with a light flick of his tail. The idea of his cousin having pups was admittedly weird, but it sure as hell wasn’t going to be Vayko giving the pack a litter. “I agree. One litter for now, and then we can just evaluate it with time, with what the pack can handle. It’ll be a yearling conversation.” He found it best to keep a plan working in flux.
