He picked up on the notes in Tinaro's tone, and he offered the boy a smile. It wasn't always an easy thing, calling the alpha to you to ask for a higher position. He respected his courage, and wanted to keep his spirits up as much as he could. He asked softly what would happen if he would lose, and he truly felt his heart going out to the brown man. "It isn't based of it you win or lose, Tinaro. It's based off your skills, and what I see from our fight. Even if you lose, you could still achieve a higher rank if I like what I see," it was more for higher ranks that he looked at wins and loses, but even then he could rank up a wolf who lost if they really proved that they deserved it. Tinaro had been a very loyal member thus far, this fight would be for purely skills. He didn't know if he had actually ever seen him fight, at least not close up. Bass stood there expectantly, waiting to see what he would choose.
