Talinn carefully studied Finnian’s reaction as he ordered Silvertongue away, noting his guilt, sense of responsibility, and ability to follow direction. He was pleased, because despite stowing away, and not having any parental direction, the young fox kit seemed to be a kind at heart. That was...

Talinn watched Swifttail carefully as he recited his oath, pleased that the beast seemed to take it seriously and earnestly. Many saw the oath as perfunctory, but this one truly seemed to believe in it. That would be useful, very useful, for a variety of reasons. The world the Empress was...

Talinn dutifully listened to Barrett, his eyes taking in the situation, and he was relieved to see that no beasts of his had died so far, a rarity for the Hide engaged in combat, although not for a lack of trying on their part.

"Very well!" Talinn replied, standing up as he did so, "I am ready to receive your oath!" Pausing and taking a deep breath, he continued. “Place your dominant paw above your heart, and repeat the following, inserting your full name when appropriate, I, insert your full name here, under the...

Talinn listened to both the head engineer and the new marble fox engineering apprentice he had welcomed aboard the ship just before they had set sail for Urk, careful to maintain a neutral expression, but internally the old fox was growing more and more irritated. He had been assured by his head...

@Duchess Dusk Rainblade just remember to take 10k influence for the two extra points.
