A vast battle that had addled the minds of the participants so much it was hard to remember half of what had occurred.

Asgard and its allies had been victorious, but it was good, at times, for terms of temporary truces to be hammered out after the mourning and the celebration was done. This was often done not by Aesir themselves, who weren't exactly the best at such negotiations with their neighbors, but more 'neutral,' if loyal, allies like the Wolves of the Forest.
While his Father attended to other matters, Douglas was sent on the mission to Svartheim..

"The Queen sanctioned no use of our land to any invaders into Asgard. If the Aesir had bothered to look they would have seen that we had slain several of the impertinent fools for the use of our land for their attack on Asgard. But Asgard did not bother learning the truth, they assumed we were involved and attacked us and we retaliated accordingly."

Kael took a deep breath. "Personally I'd see Svartheim paid reparations for the deaths and damage done to our home in the Asgardians' war, but..the Queen has decided not to pursue such demands. She would find the proposal acceptable most likely."

	Douglas looks pretty impassive as to the subject of what calls his father's allies made in the heat of battle, and tactfully refrains from comment over how much control the Queen has over all of the Dark Elves who may or may not have been involved. "Indeed. I defer to my parents in these decisions as well" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael sighs again, though this is a more resigned one. "Indeed, but perhaps that is best. They can see a larger picture we cannot." Kael looks a little chagrined. "Pardon my outburst." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods at the last part. "Of course. A very tiring few days. But yes, as 'tis said on Midgard, the buck stops with them." Douglas always assumed that this American saying had to do with the Alpha's having the say on how the kill is apportioned, but Granny had tended to look at him funny when operated on that assumption.

	"That the responsibilities of leadership, both the glory of the triumphs and the blame for the failures, can only be doled out so far, and no further." (Reply to this)(Parent)
