Valentine shrugged at the mention of his supposed success. "I wouldn't be jealous of me, if I were you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you and I go about wolves differently. I've made few friends in this business and I don't think you'd be quite so content to have so many dislike you so thoroughly," he said wryly, a faint smile on his lips. He was quiet a moment and then said, "But you don't have to be a dick to be successful. In all decisions you make as a leader I think you must be sure and you must be firm, but that doesn't mean you have to be an ass. And I wouldn't expect your pack to be perfect from the start. Give it some time. It's a new pack and you are a new leader. You and your members might just need time to settle in and figure things out. I do think that now more than ever you need to be firm so your members get used to seeing you - and treating you - as a leader and not just a friend."
His tail flicked restlessly at his heels as he mulled over whether or not he should beat her over the head with another round of advise. Really, he wasn't even sure if there was more to be said. Avalon wasn't a fool. He was sure she got all the common sense parts of ruling. Valentine couldn't really comment on whether or not Avalon's pack would succeed. He could offer advise and he could make assessments, but that, really, was the extent of what he could do.
Or was it? "If you ever need help cutting some dead weight, I'm your man," he teased. "I offer lazy-ass removal free of charge."
