N​ó​ttin watched as she seemed to quietly calm herself down, his words quite possibly reaching her on some level. He was glad to see it, even if it was just for this moment. A smile perked up at the mentioning of bears, most of his fears for the beasts long gone since the incident. I would be glad to. Maybe I'll get to rip its tooth out next time and give it to you as a gift instead.

A playful chuckle escaped his maw, eyes glimmering with a light hearted humor he hoped would bring the Pillar of Power back to life. The light hearted feel to the conversation wouldn't last however, bringing back the tense discussion of lost members back to the forefront. Talk of Dalmatia made him especially tense. He grew more serious, standing more resolute and stern in front of his fellow pack member, Pillar and friend.

Of course I will, Tiberii. Dalmatia is everything to me, and I will do everything in my power to keep her safe. You need not fear. Eyes of molten gold came back to meet his ice toned gaze. She sought his promise as if were life saving food. N​ó​ttin understood all too well how much family meant to her. He wouldn't know what to do if he lost his sister again, the only link back to his family and old pack that he had left. Even seeing his own father again what felt like eons ago, made him realize just how precious life was, and to appreciate everything that you have.

I actually came to ask something of you, when it came to Dalmatia. But I was afraid to bring it up due to the current state of things here. I didn't want to overshadow what you were dealing with, and disrespect your sorrows. You are my family now, and I never want to hurt you. He braced himself for what might come, not entirely sure what to expect from the large bull of a woman. Her ferocity and courage were well known at this point to him, as well as her strength and incredible might. So when he was about to tell her of the engagement, he was hoping that against all odds, the news would be taken well. I ask for your blessing in my engagement to Dalmatia.
