I've always liked to play with fire[Astaroth and lirim]

Rory's attention turned to the larger of the two females as she spoke for the both of them and he dipped his head politely in greeting to the both of them. He glanced sideways at Frost to see if he had anything else to say, but so far he seemed content to let him speak. He always tended to be rather quiet in these situations though and it made him wonder if maybe he should talk less - if only to let Frost get a few words in. They were both leaders of Lirim after all - it wouldn't be very courteous of him to completely overrun Frost by not letting him speak at all with any diplomatic situations.

"Well thank you. We like to keep up with our borders, it tends to help keep the occasional wanderer from thinking they can get away with crossing through the territory without repercussions." Pack wolves too really, but he'd never had a problem with that so far.

The slightly smaller female, Razi was speaking now, and Rory's attention flitted to her now as she questioned him on the duration he'd been leading the pack. Was it obvious he was that young? At least he could say he had some experience under his belt now.

"I've been in control of Lirim for a year now, but my mother was leader for a year before me." He answered confidently. He felt a little awkward now that that question had been popped. He didn't want to come off as incompetent to other pack wolves and he certainly didn't want to appear as though he was a fool. Not that he thought he was, but he didn't plan on being underestimated either just because of his age.

"What did you want to know about Lirim?" He left the question open to either of the females to answer. "Though I am more than a little curious about your pack as well, if you don't mind answering some questions in return."
