They are shrewd in their responses to his proposal. He had expected no less. Scepticism in the face of such a proposal was to be expected. The Tundra had been quiet lately. But only a fool would equate quietness with weakness, and he does not believe these women fools. The Tundra had been slumbering, but even now, it begins to awaken.
The drums of war have begun to sound faintly in the distance. This always seems to have a way of filling ranks. And though Hurricane has yet to commit himself to any side in the coming war, it seems inevitable that he will need to at some point. The Amazons had traditionally been their allies, but should they wish to sever their ties, he has no doubt another will wish to take advantage of whatever strength the Tundra might have to offer.
Of course, it would be his preference to ally with these women, hence his proposal. But he is flexible. He needs to be, as king.
His head dips slightly in response to Rhy’s words. Lagertha responds then, questioning how such an arrangement might benefit the jungle. He levels a hard, steady look upon her, a pregnant pause hanging in the air before he finally responds.
”Aside from the additional sisters it would bring to your ranks, you mean.” Pause. ”We would provide them training. In battle, primarily.”
A one time amazon had offered her services for such an endeavor, in fact. He does not mention this however. Not until he knows more.
He glances between the two women, considering them for a long moment. He wonders then, if he might be wasting his time here. If his efforts might not be better spent elsewhere. He hopes not.
”If you are willing to take this to your sisters, I will present it to the Brotherhood and we will go from there. If not, then I suppose we are done here.“
He has never been one to mince words, nor will he start now.

There is never a day that goes by
that is a good day to die.

Slight time jump, but I figured it was better to move this along
