He smirked in amusement as she tried to lean away from him as he got obnoxiously close to her. She relaxed a bit, it would seem, as he finally backed off and gave her back her personal space. Though he'd been amused bothering her, he also preferred his own space, and it felt better when he pulled away from her. Her perked towards her, tilting his head in her direction, although he didn't face her head-on as she spoke hesitantly. She answered his question as to why she had been drawn here after a life spent alone. It made sense that she would come here because of family. He'd have done the same, if he knew he had family within a pack, he'd probably pursue it as well. As far as things went in this continent, his only family included the wolves he decided were his family. He had no blood relatives here, none that he knew of. Rivaxorus had become much like a brother to him. There were few others, if any, that Xephyris considered family, so anyone that made it into that category was very important to him.

"Family is a good reason to join pack life," he said in agreement with her statement, "I have no real family in Alacritia, so I have to create my own." There was the slightest tinge of loneliness heard in his voice, although he tried not to show it. He preferred to maintain his independent, tough exterior, to portray himself as someone that didn't need anyone to survive. He could get along on his own if he needed to, and he had. But... having others to rely on was important, too.

Then she would ask him some questions that he found somewhat difficult. Why had he left? Why was his other pack struck down? He sighed, glancing her over as he noticed her nervousness again, although she seemed to be getting more comfortable as the time passed. "I left... because I wanted more," he said, the tone in his voice revealing his desire for more power, "Sonticus was a good pack for family. But sometimes, it just didn't seem like enough for me... I am drawn more to strength than sentimental values. But Hellstrom was struck down, perhaps because it sought too much power before it was ready. Our leader, Sin, was eager to make his mark on history, but I suppose our enemies did not want to see him gain power too quickly. So, we were eliminated in a siege, though we fought our hardest."

Probably these names meant nothing to her. But, she had asked, and so, he had given her an answer from his perspective. Back then he'd hoped that Hellstrom would make a name for itself, to gain a serious hold on power, but somehow they'd been overthrown so quickly. Their loss in the siege had really thrown him off, but he was recovering his sense of purpose, and he'd make a name for himself in Fiori now, until the next opportunity for greater power arose. And he would always, always seek greater powers.
