And Fleetwood's not one to sit on her feelings, even if she's not sure it's right to talk to a king just. Casually. Actually, she's never met a King at all. Valeska's the closest thing to that, she thinks? It's not like their pack had a "king" and... Oh, screw it, she's going to walk up to him right now. He's mostly alone, right? She might not get this chance again, and maybe speaking to him casually in front of everyone would embarrass him.

I'm a Shadowsbane, a warrior, and I only wanted you to know..." Is this condescending? Is she being an idiot? "Well, you have allies in this moment. If you need a listening ear, you can call on me."
