Alder liked to perpetuate an accessible reputation for himself. He served at the behest of all of Lupercal. His magic was meant to help after all.
While Alder wanted to maintain his reputation as a witch in service to all of Lupercal, he still had a bad habit of disproportionately giving his attention to certain residents. Those with exceptional power or enticing reputations themselves. Lucas possessed both. "C'mon, I promise to stop being so cryptic once we get there," he says cheerily, leading the lycan across the fairgrounds. Alder still attempted to maintain the facade that the other was roped into his experiment due to coincidence. Lucas had collided into Alder and caused him to spill important ingredients after all. A small favor is a fair price to make it up to one of the city's emissaries. "You should get excited. This is prep for the festival. Well, everything for the next few weeks is. I'm incredibly excited to meet our new alpha. Isn't the build-up to Lupercalia supposed to be a happy time for you?"
