Grasping Straws

Aw, Birna wanted Esti to ask? Esti snorted, "Deal." She wasn't going to ask. Birna detailed her ideas of giving them targets and such. She also spoke about the competitive spirit in Imperium. Was there one? Really? Esti was amused, of course there was. It worked well for Esti knowing she didn't have to act all buddy buddy with everyone, but she could see how maybe it would cause problems. Esti listened carefully, humming a bit, "Maybe we'd have to make sure to switch up the teams enough to instill a competitive trust in each of them. Try to be better, but defend one another. I wonder if the tension is because of competition or just because attractive males are a rarity." Esti snorted, thinking of Mercy and Rhythm- her two main sources of conflict since she had been in the pack. Cascade was ranked high and a good fighter and Esti didn't feel any animosity towards her. Was it really the competition in fighting or the competition for available men to bang?

Birna mentioned how they couldn't kidnap a bunch of pups and Esti's eyebrow quirked "We can't?" They probably couldn't, but Esti wondered if Birna had asked. She mentioned young pups in Abaven maybe and Esti let out another chuckle, "More reason to go and pay them a little visit, right?" Musing on the topic, Esti clicked her tongue decidedly, "Okay, tell you what, we can work on stealing Abaven's members or pups- basically the same in Abaven, right- and in the meantime we can train and trade out groups of pups here to work on both teamwork and 'healthy' competition."
