The Pillar of Power came ever closer, a hesitant yet soft smile across her lips. But he could see the endless sadness that she was harboring. They all were to some degree. Even though he hadn't known Genghis long, his loss also struck him hard. Now it was his solemn duty to fulfill the role he left behind. No pressure, right? N​ó​ttin watched her as she opened her mouth, ears flicking in curiosity at what she was about to offer him. When he saw the tooth made into a necklace, a wave of a thousand feelings came over him. Of course he would recognize the tooth from the bear that had attacked him. How could he forget?

Of course I will Thank you, Tiberii. The new Pillar grabbed it delicately letting his nose guide it over his neck as he let it slip from his mouth just slightly after taking if from her maw. The necklace now hung from his neck, a gripping reminder of the events that had taken place. I never truly thanked you all for saving my life. I am eternally grateful. It was difficult to show how much he was grateful for their help, even to his own sister, so he left it at that. N​ó​ttin listened intently to her as she spoke further, not really sure how to digest everything that had happened in what felt like such a short amount of time.

But he did his best to express his feelings about the whole situation in the moment. It's not corny at all. To be truthful, I am still reeling from all of this myself. I am honored that the pack would think so highly of me, and trust me with such an important rank. I have never been a leader of sorts before, but I remember watching my mother and father rule for some time. I can only imagine how they felt.

Memories of the Isblod came rushing back for a moment, causing him to mentally shake himself off. It was difficult to regain himself, but he willed it so for the time being. I hope that I can live up to everyone's expectations. I will do my best not to fail you all. Ears flattened slightly, his gaze turning even softer and more heartfelt as he spoke. And he hadn't even began to deal with what was going on between himself and Dalmatia That was for another time entirely.
