[Parreyon Syndicus]

Parreyon laughed, his katta voice making it sound more like a playful growl. He too would have liked to know what Ravaska had said about him to Rath, but he knew her well enough to know that she was utterly honest ... too honest ... to telling anything but the truth. She knew nothing of lies or at least never spoke them.

As for Rath, Parreyon knew very little. Ravaska had not spoken a lot about him only that he 'intrigued' her. Parreyon understood that to mean that his customs were not typical katta customs much like his own. It made the two of them quite similar though they had each chosen different paths in their lives. Rath was an entrapanuer while Parreyon focused on law. Both of them stayed up in their combat skills. That was the blunt of it.

"She has told me that you have varying smoothskin traits much like myself, and that we were similar in regards to not only knowing but living by some of Imperial Customs versus sticking with traditions.

Ravaska understands that I am a good Pride Leader, but I am not sure she understands my ultimate goal of unifying the katta nation to fit within this Imperial society instead of holding to some of the old ways. In that I am am sure I will not be too welcome amongst the elders of our kind either.

I cannot stand to see how the Dorin Alliance holds all Dorin together and yet we Katta remain tribalistic with Prides even warring amongst themselves. We need to bond in a way not seen since the brightenings of old when Kyathis was strong and an active member of the Empire. I do not know how, but that is my ultimate goal. The Pride I form is the beginning of that vision for our kind."

Parreyon poured himself a snifter of Brandy and then handed it to Rath, then pouring a second for himself. he took a drink and could not help but think the dwarves knew well the tastes of alcohol such as this. His ears flicked at the thought of a proposal but was cautious to accept anything.

"I would hear your proposal before accepting. Interest is all I have for the moment. Holding the position I do, I am always cautious to accept anything until I know it is of good, sound judgement. I have been asked, unsuccessfully, to join in on ventures not completely legitimate which would have ruined my honor and status in the Empire. Let's begin with my interest and your propsal; we'll move forward from there."
