Interestingly enough the idea that his mate might be raped by the invaders didn't seem to bother the man as much as Malleus had thought it would. He'd meant what he'd said to be taken as equal parts warning and threat, but the man didn't seem all that concerned so Malleus wasn't going to bother with pressing the issue much further. He would allow himself one more jab and that was it. "Then maybe it's her last chance. Perhaps," he said softly, "It shouldn't be wasted on you, old man." Alright, alright. Enough talk about raping old ladies. The idea of one of his demented uncles pouncing on a little old woman was giving him the heebie jeebies. He took in the news that there was fighting among the wolves with keen interest. There were few young wolves around (unless, of course, the old man was calling anyone younger than himself 'young hooligans') so it was likely that the hooligans involved were his younger cousins. He hoped they were fairing well; Ashiel in particular. It would do the boy some good to win a fight. "I'm not surprised. The little ones are probably itching to prove themselves. It's a shame your packmate didn't have the sense to run...like you." He'd seen a packmate getting attacked and done nothing. Old and a coward. The cons list was growing. Oh god, more old people sex talk. Malleus eyed him up and down. He doubted the veracity of the man's story for no other reason than that he assumed the libido of the old guy was about as low as the morning tide. "Here you are." He glanced towards the border then back at the man. "Running away without knowing where your mate is. What if," he said slowly as he searched the man's eyes, "You are running away from her and not towards? What if...she has already been found. In such an inviting state no less. What then?" He suspected the man knew where his mate was. And if he had his guess, there were others with her. The man had mentioned them having more pups. Perhaps he simply referred to his older children as pups...or perhaps the geezer had young ones currently. Malleus intended to find out. How the man answered his question would determine the titan's next course of action. |
