"You have our condolences. It seems the last two years have been harsh on us all."
"Thank you, I appreciate that." Jakys murmurs calmly, sending a small nod his way before he follows his gaze, pauses when it lands on Iberia, looks away as soon as another question springs forth
"Would you like to wait for your adviser to arrive, Frey? Or would you be comfortable speaking to the chief without him?"
Turning his attention to the woman, he listens, then shakes his head lightly "I'm fine without him." he states quietly, something like distaste spiking in his tone before it fades as quick as it came

"I'm fine without him."
"Then let us begin," said another, and it was Vras who continued.
"It would be safe to assume you're here in regards to what your father and the late chief had arranged between your late brother and Iberia, judging by the timing and who you have traveled with." He paused, studying the boy closely, then looked around at the elders.
The woman spoke, assuming what Vras said was true. "As the elders, we stand for what the late chief had wished for, and if it is what your family has decided to accomplish before chaos broke out, the offer still stands."
Iberia bristled yet said nothing as she looked at the woman, gaze sharp, and Vras glance towards the girl, knowing her temper.

"Then let us begin,"
"Very well."
"It would be safe to assume you're here in regards to what your father and the late chief had arranged between your late brother and Iberia, judging by the timing and who you have traveled with."
"I am, at my adviser's behest." Jakys murmurs, eyes on his
"As the elders, we stand for what the late chief had wished for, and if it is what your family has decided to accomplish before chaos broke out, the offer still stands."
"Then I am here to fulfill that offer, and take her hand in marriage." he states calmly, gaze flicking back to Iberia, studying

"Then I am here to fulfill that offer, and take her hand in marriage."
Her brown eyes met his, steady though chilled, and at her silence Vras grew slightly tense. but instead of the outburst he expected (and which he received before) despite her earlier comment on the trail, Iberia straightened and took a breath. "It's what my father would have wanted, and by the advice of the elders, I'm willing to do what I must for my people." Her eyes slid to Vras and he relaxed with a small curt nod. "The arrangements will remain, then."
The elders nodded at her, a few murmuring, "Sherai," in agreement and approval. "Then let the blessings of the gods rain over the two of you as we prepare," the woman added, nodding.

"Thank you, Iberia Wynn." Jakys murmurs, blue eyes clashing with hers, gaze shrouded
"Sherai. Then let the blessings of the gods rain over the two of you as we prepare,"
"I'll let you decide how we are to go about this, as you are the bigger tribe. But in the meantime, may I ask of a favor from you?" he starts, looking around at all the elders

"Thank you, Iberia Wynn. I'll let you decide how we are to go about this, as you are the bigger tribe. But in the meantime, may I ask of a favor from you?"
"Of course," Vras nodded, looking at him, while Iberia remained silent.
From the cracked door, the wolf darted in, trotting to his mistress's side and sitting by her, licking her hand then under her jaw. Something tugged at the neutral frown on her face, her expression relaxing just a little as she stroked the wolf's head and rubbed him behind his ears.

"Of course,"
"Then if I may," he murmurs, looking over at the man "I'd like to keep a close eye on my adviser, Grelm."

"Then if I may, I'd like to keep a close eye on my adviser, Grelm."
"What do you mean?" Vras inquired, and across the way, Iberia's attention was caught.

"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I don't quite trust him. He was the adviser for my brother, so he automatically became mine, but.." Jakys starts, hesitating

"I mean, I don't quite trust him. He was the adviser for my brother, so he automatically became mine, but.."
"It's understandable," Vras replied with a curt nod. "Thank you for addressing the matter, as now we know." The other elders nodded, standing and excusing themselves. They had to tend to the sick, and the other man walked out to check the company, leaving only Iberia and Vras. "Is their a way you distrust him, if I may ask?"

"You're welcome, Jakys murmurs, watching as most leave, relaxes
"Is their a way you distrust him, if I may ask?"
"Our family has been well off, you know this. But ever since my brother died, small amounts have gone missing from the treasury, one at a time."

"And evidence points to him," Vras responded, looking over at Iniago as he groaned, leaning into Iberia's hand.
Iberia finally spoke again, voice low, "He smells like a traitor."

"And evidence points to him,"
"Yes, but I do not wish to convict him unless I know for sure."
"He smells like a traitor."
"He does." Jakys agrees, blue eyes flicking to her "But one can never know."

"He does. But one can never know."
Vras thought a moment before standing. "I will leave you two be to discuss arrangements regarding the ceremony. I must return to my son."
Iberia nodded solemnly. "Send Thessa my regards and wishes that Rin recovers."
"Thank you, Sheria." Vras dipped his head and stepped towards the door.

"Thank you, Sherai."
"Thank you, sir." Jakys murmurs, watching as he leaves as well before glancing over at the princess silently
