Living in the shadows

He perked toward the fiery-coated, silver-eyed woman as she offered her opinion toward him. That his former Alpha must not have been strong enough to be worthy of following if he'd been defeated in a challenge. It irked him, and he felt his lip twitch, his smirk dropping away - he didn't like hearing Riv being spoken about like that, but it wasn't like this woman knew who she was talking about. But it wasn't just that... it had been his own choice to follow the young man, and he felt his decision was being judged. Not that it all really mattered; Xephyris was confident in his ability to defend his beliefs if he needed to. "There are strengths other than physical power to be admired," he rumbled, eyeing her somewhat seriously, although he certainly understood the power that came with the ability to physically dominate others, "However, I understand the many benefits of physical strength and fighting prowess." He fell silent as she spoke again, trying to convince him that being a rogue wasn't so bad. He sighed. He would never agree with such a notion.

However, it seemed she had remained a rogue mostly because she hadn't found anyone strong enough to follow; her words were quickly followed with a hungry stare, her silver eyes eating up his frame. He couldn't help but to let a grin split his maw. She wasn't shy about hinting at her inward thoughts. He wondered if she was testing him in a way, prodding him to say something that might impress her. Well, the idea of leading a pack himself had been rolled around in his mind, and with recent events, it seemed quite a viable option. Perhaps he could convince this stranger that he'd be worthy enough to follow. Very well, he'd take on that challenge. Power and admiration was something he craved, so if it meant stepping out of his comfort zone, a place he'd stayed for much too long, then so be it.

The grin on his maw curved further upward as she tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her eye, and he narrowed his eyes in amusement as she teased. Tipping his muzzle up and canting his head to the side, he eyed her with a sidelong gaze until she finally gave her name. Kasai. She followed up quickly by telling him he ought to let her know if she came off offensively... but not like she'd care anyways. He chuckled some more, shaking his head slightly. She was an amusing girl, and he wouldn't mind getting to know her a little more. "So, Kasai, what do you do as a rogue?" he asked curiously, his eyes glancing over the flowery field around them as he stood and paced away from her, kicking his paws through the blooms. He wouldn't mind getting just a little further away from the deadly drop he'd nearly stepped over, and he glanced at the woman, wondering if she'd come for a little walk.
