“I can agree to an alliance, brother.” TalOS told the Wolf-King while raising two fingers, “But there are two items that I wish to have if we are to follow through with it.”
The large Primarch whose fangs could be seen gave a small shrug, “Put forward what you want, brother.I feel that you won’t put much more on top of what I asked.”
“I seek to have a trade treaty with Fenris. Access to its specimens and materials will work well, and in return any discoveries I make shall be allotted to you and your Legion.” TalOS said with an understanding of the planet.
He looked to see his brother give a grimace at that suggestion, “I can see about giving what we can. I don’t however want you interacting directly with the populace, they need to remain in their ways lest my recruitment pool becomes dire and their wisdom lost.”
“Then it will be an agreement between the Court of the Wolf-King and Lucius.” TalOS said as he felt a small bit of sadness, “Even if we cannot interact with the people the reasources are hard to ignore. Next, I find it reasonable that when the time comes we bring our brothers into our alliance if we agree to find them worthy.”
“Ha, now that is an ask.” Pointed out Russ as he gave his counter, “Know that this is an Alliance of Kings. I will not accept brothers if all they are giving to us is their Legion.”
TalOS listened to those words for a moment, “Why?”
“Because I do not want someone who has no stake to join.” Pointed out Russ with a beastial grin, “They do not or ignore the burden of truly leading men. They will not understand the feeling when your own people are declared war upon, and do not live in fear of that ever happening to them because the people who follow them are Astartes.”
“So you don’t want those out of touch with humanity?”
“Yes!” Growled the beast as he gave a hearty laugh, “After all, I don’t see Horus ever coming to save the life of some peasant girl who's at the wrong end of a war axe, do you?”
“In this matter, you seem to know our brother better than I do.” TalOS admitted as he extended a hand forward, “Let us force an Alliance that will foster for Millennia.”
“Aye, let it be until Winter’s End.” The Wolf-King shook the hand that signified the two’s agreement.
