"With my speechless calm eyes."
The dark ice king is just as he remembers him. Tall, massive, but his alert posture hadn’t changed either. Not that Brynmor would’ve expected that, in fact, it would even have surprised him. The stiff and upright stance doesn’t scare him away, because he knows that there is a friendly and gentle being underneath. Otherwise Offspring would’ve never been his closest friend. A treasured friend too.
He nods in agreement, what else was there for him to do? Those words were true, it had been a long time, maybe even too long. Although the graying male didn’t mind it to be on his own, companionship was a nice refreshment from time to time and although he dearly loved is Roan, the spot a best friend take is hard to find elsewhere. ”I can only agree with you, it really has been a while.” Even though they both already knew that, speaking as a councelor to his king. Status had never played a big part, of course Brynmor respected the red-eyed king because of both his being, accomplishments and their shared love for the Tundra, but nonetheless it sometimes had to be addressed.
The smile that pulls on the corners of his lips cannot be stopped. It doesn’t appear because he’s pleased to hear such compliment, but simply because he feels somewhat flustered. To the formerly blind male it is only natural to tribute to the Tundra in such way and he’s eager to. Not to pay back an old debt, but out of loyalty and love. ”I was merely a messenger for your words, but I’m glad that it has been fruitful” he cannot help but to reply, pausing a moment before continuing. ”I’m trying the best I can and I’m thankful for the opportunities that are given to me, so thank you, Offspring.”
”I’m glad that you’re back, Offspring, I hope your business elsewhere went well?” Even though he had to ask it out of politeness, it’s also genuine interest in his friend and curiosity to learn what the black male had done in his absence. After all, friends did talk about those things, right? How trivial they might seem.
"Nothing is coming to rise."
