You settled in for the night to sleep, but then you felt something trembling next to you. You find Cub, looking scared. You pull them close with your paws and let them snuggle until you both are asleep.

Do you promise, mister?

Peregrine the Second had always been a kind ruler - he found that ruling with an iron fist... didn't turn out to well. So of course he cast those unworthy or unruly members out, and allowed the most beautiful and well-behaved to stay! And although members so much more beautiful then her family had been cast out, he promised them and their bloodline a place to stay. And he never even added another word.
"...Really? Y-y... you promise?" She had struggled to find words. Truly? Could this king be as kind as he says...? Will he offer my mother, aging in years, and my sister and I, who offer no promise of good cubs, a place to stay? No, not just a place to stay... the best place to stay? She wondered, not truly understanding yet.
"Darling... the only reason I-... well, you'll find out when your mother deems fit. But for now, just take the offer, Joy... and keep your sister in check." He added, with a bit of a smirk at her mischievous tendencies.
