BROTHER, LET ME BE YOUR FORTRESS, WHEN THE NIGHT WINDS ARE DRIVING ON.
I CAN BE THE ONE TO LIGHT YOUR WAY; I WILL BRING YOU HOME.
"Business has yet to be settled, Brynmor - I think that it is time that you and I take the time to visit the Chamber." He muses quietly, his crimson gaze veering away from his companion for a moment as he observes the quiet terrain. It is still early, with the morning sun still edging towards the darkest edges of their lands, attempting to illuminate it and drench it in what little warmth it has to give in such a climate. He does not expect the lands to stir for a while yet, and in the midst of fatherhood, he finds himself savoring the brief moments of quiet that he is able to hold onto. He does not long for solitude; he much prefers the company of others - but he finds it is much harder to find a moment to contemplate in silence with gentle voices and affectionate prodding stirring him often from his deep thoughts.
He breathes deeply, his nostrils flaring as he gazes to him once again, observing the icy blue of his once blind friend. "It is time that we seal our alliances and move forward. Kingdare has proven to be a faithful ally, and friend to our Brothers - and his actions have spurred me to feel it is a fitful move to finalize this agreement. It seems fitting with an agreement on behalf of Topsail; it is time that we settle into our alliances and begin to practice, spar and mingle with our newly grounded companions."
He pauses then, still staring deeply at the dappled male before him, studying him heavily. Though he only takes a few careful moments to think, it feels like an eternity as he watches the humble, gentle and altogether loyal stallion that stand so close to him. He can very nearly feel his warmth, and perhaps Brynmor can feel the icy, frigid chill that rises from his flesh - when in deep thought, he often finds himself encased in a layer of frost, and such is true even now. At last, he speaks again, the faintest of smiles upon his otherwise solemn face.
"I also think that it is time to recognize what is shared between us - time to recognize what it is you mean to myself and the core of the Brotherhood. I would like you to take the position of right-hand, Brynmor. Second only to myself. I need a figurehead that I can rely on, and you have proven your strength and finesse in this area. I think you know what the position of second-in-command entails - and eventually, my time as King will end and I will need someone with the heart of the Tundra to take my place. I understand that it is a hefty decision to make. You do not have to make this decision now, if you need time to think it over."
