Chaos paced around the deck of the ship that night restlessly, trying to stretch out bruised and stiffened muscles so he could sleep. He'd never admit it to anyone, but he was actually rather nervous about having a pack once again. He knew better than anyone that he'd been a failure as an alpha last time. Young, stupid, and thinking he knew better than everyone that had come before him. He should have taken a page from Valentine's book instead of rejecting the order of the pack he'd grown up in. Imperium had been insanely successful, unlike Crew, and wolves had flocked to its borders and vied for the attention of its alpha. This time, maybe he'd find that secret something that his father had that made him, and his pack, so attractive to everyone. He couldn't fail again. He'd sink everything - his pride, his name, his future - into this new pack. He'd make it as great as Imperium. See the pride in his father's eyes, give his son and daughter a future where their name was known to everyone. He wouldn't get another chance.

An unfamiliar voice drew him from his thoughts, and Chaos stopped pacing to eye the woman approaching him. She was all but a stranger, except for the introduction Valdis had given her, but Chaos gave her a grin and a playfully elaborate bow. "I am at your service, Asvor, whenever you have need of... practice." This was said with a faintly suggestive tone, but given the rather precarious nature of their current relationship, which was to say practically nothing, Chaos kept his usual flirting firmly reined in. "Sore, and restless," he said after a beat in answer to her original question. "But not too badly. Delaney saw to my wounds after she'd treated your former alpha and his cat so at least I won't die of infection this time." He tilted his head at her curiously, studying her more closely. "So you and Valdis are pretty close, then?" He was proud to see how grown up little Valdis had gotten, how much she'd learned to excel. He liked to think maybe training with her might have helped, but if he was truthful with himself he hadn't done right by her at all. She'd been a yearling and had come to him to learn, and he'd walked away from her and his promises to her when he'd dissolved Crew.

Chaos sighed regretfully at her clear dismissal of his flirting, but he didn't press it further for the moment. It was a little deflating to his ego to be so thoroughly ignored in that manner, but Chaos had plenty of ego to spare and wasn't going to sulk about it. Instead he just nodded to her explanation of her relationship with Valdis. "The north's not bad," he said conversationally. "I like that it encourages hard wolves, tough wolves. But it's just too far from all the other packs to make it worthwhile to stay here. You'd have to travel all the way to the south anyway to raid, and by that time your whole party is tired and at a disadvantage. Better to find other ways to keep a pack tough and still be close to most of the action." A very piratical, mercenary way of choosing pack lands, but he'd learned his lesson from segregating his pack in the mountains last time in the hopes of breeding a tough gang - they'd been tough all right, most of them, but they'd also just been too out of the way and out of sight for him to make a mark on the world. They'd spent too much time just surviving and not enough time actively training. "So did you grow up in a pack up here or as a loner?" he added out of curiosity.
