a gift for @alekgray,
They’ve various lycan friends within New Rome, its sort of their only tether to Rome any longer considering the Asphodel have now holed themselves up inside the Otherworld in some silent cohabitation with the drows. Eric’s a bit relieved at these peace talks, they’ve long figured they’re now in over their head and are desperately grasping at straws to adhere to any normalcy Eric’s life once garnered. Alek wasn’t necessarily a friend, but he was the Lupo leader and it was vital to salvage any good terms left between them. He’d understood from Flora that one had to be granted citizenship into New Rome to ever enter again after the peace talks ceased; others met with violence or enchanted fog to block them out. “Is this sort of like Survivor where I need enough votes to stay on the Island?” Alek’s got his hands full, meeting with Rome’s Senate and the like, but some days Eric proves to be quite the opportunist, slinking up to the Lupo Alpha when he’s a moments reprieve. It’s fair to note that Eric had never actually fucking seen Survivor, but they’re doing their best to casually joke on a serious matter.
